Re: The running thread!
A running thread! Fantastic idea!
I have to admit that I am a fairly useless (but enthusiastic) runner, still trying to get rythm and technique right. I am more of a cyclist by skill but I love doing triathlons (slowly) which obviously involves running. I currenly have Nike Pegasus shoes, but find them a bit too steeply angled forward, if you know what I mean. Contemplating visiting Tri and Run as they do a running style analysis and recommend shoes from there. Anyone else in the South East that does triathlons? I know the season is largely over, but I really want to do five or six next year. Human Race do great events. Dorney Lake (for the Eton Supersprint is amazing) I'm going to use the winter to build strength in the gym. My legs are cycling strong, but lack running strength. Any suggestions for exercises? |

I did 18 miles today, I know it was that cos I hopped on the bike after to measure it. Finished in 2.28.35, so around 8.15/mile. Not too shabby. Next week's 'long' run is 14 miles, then 10, then the race:cool:

Ashford 10k yesterday for me - not that nice really too hilly, but managed a PB of 47:51 which is more than 10 mins faster than my last 10k attempt, so once I stopped shaking I was well pleased with. Recovery time was fast too!
I realise this is slow for most people but for me I was at the absolute limit of my ability. |

10K = 6.25miles/47.85=7.66 so about 7.40/mile = impressive! EDIT - why should a-r-s-e be censored? |

Ed - If you don't eat on a long run what do you do to sustain yourself, I have read (somewhere) that the body can only hold enough energy for 18 miles, hence that is wy people say that the wall is at 18 Miles???
I have used carb gels in HM's, but as my Sunday morning mileage increases, by the end of the month I should be doing 19's and am wondering what I should be doing. I have read about people taking slices of malt loaf with them??? |

You could always buy some 'snack-ass shorts' with a pocket to carry the malt loaf:D |
Re: The running thread!
