Re: The running thread!
I ran home from work the other day especially as it was raining.
Hovis is that the costume you are wearing for the half? Looks bloody hot mate. |

Re: The running thread!
I must admit I always thought Hovis looked pretty hot too, but thats another story I suspect hardly run in weeks due to constant overtime and not having two mins to myself, and yet bizzarely after not running for nearly 5 weeks I somehow seemed to have knocked my pace down to sub 10 mins for the first time in ages, yay me

Re: The running thread!
sometimes a rest or enforced time off is just what you need for your muscles to fully repair.
I can't wait for Abingdon to be done so I can cut my mileage back and stop aching and then hopefully get quicker at more reasonable distances. 29 days to go! Of course the above assumes a sub-4 for me, if not then it will be a few weeks off and a re-thing about my goal. |

Superb, looks to be the exact area of discomfort, i'll try it later before going for a gentle run with the mutts. Just tried it on the floor in the office, could really feel the muscle stretching, just glad i remembered to shut the door first. Last edited by Foey; 21-09-09 at 11:11 AM. |

Re: The running thread!
Signed back up at the gym now...and managed another 5km although on the treadmill with an incline of 1.0% my time was slower than last week at 31.49secs. Although, managed to finish w/o feeling like a sack of spuds ready to keel over.
Then, a little free-weights work.

Re: The running thread!
Hi folks - I'm all very very new to the running thing... having just started on a 9 week programme to go from "couch to 5k"
Week one has consisted of 60 seconds running/jogging followed by 90 seconds walking for a total of 20 mins...plus a 5 min brisk walk and stretches either side for the warm up and cool down... The first day was hard, the second day seemed to go much easier, and yesterday went even better... next week I start running for 90 seconds and walking for 2mins for a total of 20 mins... I'm enjoying it so far, the main objective is to get me out the house, as I no longer have my dog to walk... Any hints and tips are welcome! Jen |
