I should hope not, you almost went emo on me man!

What are the invites for? Spotify iPhone?

A spur of the moment 2.5m tonight, up and down hills, in intervals, christ, my body is nearly crying, I was sloooooow too, but I suppose it was something new for the body to take?

I'm going out again Sunday morning for a 10k'er, but last Saturday when we went out, we both seemed to be suffering with something I can only describe as 'lead legs', whereby it was almost impossible to get a tempo going without the legs going 'noooooo' every two minutes.

Any idea why this would happen? Not enough food/stretching? Too early? It was weird man, really really hard, although we were both fired up for it big time.

Thanks in advance,

Trimbo.

What was the new improved time for the 10K?

1.05, I'm still having to pull up fairly often to catch my breath, but recovery time is getting much better.

One strange thing I noticed myself doing yesterday was only breathing out, like I couldn't catch enough breath, but I wasn't panting as such.

I believe D1 is posting our update tonight, and a brief summise of Saturdays 'shambles'

Well done today Mooney (and any others that did it)

I've never been so busy in my whole life, doing level 3 tasks on a level 1 wage, with no obvious news of a permanent position (currently secondee to my role) or a hike in wages (currently at least 10k under what my 3 closest colleagues earn, who also get BUPA healthcare and extra holiday), and about 7k under colleagues across group (so I understand).

The thing is, I've found a job I love, a job I'm good at, and a job I can continue to develop at for a long time to come, so I don't really wanna kick up stink about it right now. But it's **** demotivating at times.

I might see if I can hop on the 9 and get off at 5 Ways.

Best of luck with it anyway mate, next year you're gonna have D1 and I overtaking ya

Is it gonna be easy enough to get onto Broad St or are they closing it off to public transport?

Where's the finish line and how do I attend to watch? I'll run it past the wife

Quick update...

D1 and I managed a 6.5miler on Wednesday night.

We started off doing the usual 0.5m lap three times round the park before it got dark, so we took it to the road.

Christ, D1 was on a mission man.

Anyways, after finding a very nice new route, we got back, measured it up on WJR, and it came in at 6.5miles, holy shit! A lot easier running that route too, don't know why, maybe it was a psychological thing, but there seemed to be less walking and brisker pace.

Anyway, well chuffed! Going again tomorrow morning, we love it man

Sorted

When you back in UK Dom?

No rush here mate, I've got a world of music and books to get thru at the minute, just glad you're well old fruit.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...........

How bin ya Dave?

What is the legal stance on a website offering torrents to popular DJs Radio Shows?

I presume tis illegal?

Say for instance they only hosted Pete Tongs show on Radio 1, nothing else, no commercial releases, would it still be illegal?

There's a good quote I read that said 'the hardest part of any run is putting on your shoes', and it's completely true. For me, at least.

Have you tried velcro

Thanks for the feedback all, it's bloody ace man

What's a good amount of time for someone who is just starting to jog again? I realise this is about running, however I think I need to start jogging again before running. Would 20 minutes a day be enough to get started and then build up from there?

Jogging is running, at least in my world! I think the message is distance over time?

I don't have anything to measure the distance unless I count my steps. That's why I was wondering if there is any time I should aim for.

best bet sign up for a 10k cancer research run-great motivation to train. I do about 6 such runs a year and train 3 or 4 times a week. Best advise is to train no matter what the weather, set yourself an agenda and stick to it, this will increase mental stamina which is the only barrier you need to break. Also good to mix up your routes etc, muscles know if they are doing the same routine which is not good and maybe chuck in some sprint work. Have you heard of the Cooper Test? Google it, very good way to measure fitness. Good luck and last bit of advise, get an Ipod and stick on some pantera and Guns N Roses, nothing like seeing the expressions on bystanders faces when they see someone jogging whilst playing the air guitar!!!

Haha!

Right, quick report....

D1 and I went out tonight with a target of 5miles, and we only bloody did it!

That's easily a personal best in distance for me, and I think D1 said the same too.

It was absolutely amazing when we reached that last lap, a proper rush, I'm still buzzing now, the final bursts of pace, the encouragement to each other over the last stretch to just push it that little bit harder, absolutely class, nothing like it.

Only slight gripe was a stiff calf for the first few laps (of 10) which eased up with a little uphill sprint and a slight knee knack for both of us, although I think that's to be expected given I'm a fatlad and it's the first time either of us have pushed that far.

Highlights? A group of little scallies clapping and cheering us on, finishing(!), excellent pacing and speed, a massive improvement in lungs from last time, and I think we both excelled what we expected, and some excellent Brian Potter and Mark Lawrenson impressions (bloody dark!)

I feel like I got a benchmark now, five miles, 8k, I've got good distance which I can concentrate on improving on, I know I'm some way from doing it without a break, but shit, it felt good to just complete it, and still running on the last lap too.

Bigups to y'all for the helps, and D1 for setting the benchmark so high and being quite so motivational 3 laps in!

Bloody superb achievement, buzzing man.

Going for number two tonight. Feel a bit of an eijit for not going last night but I think I've got mental problems at the minute so it had to take a back burner!

I measured my circuit on a handy link trim gave me and it worked out to 1.8m. Should I go for that same distance again? I feel I could maybe do another half lap and walk my way back home to warm down, or am I pushing myself too much?

Even if you walked it, it would only do you good.

I'd recommend trying to run it, if it don't happen you're not going lose anything by walking it, it's only going to be postive.

Good luck.

And D1, still as a board at the minute so some serious hardcore stretching is needed tonight (not goatse hardcore stretching, let me make that clear!), but yeah, even if I walk the last few laps, I'll do 5 mile tonight, I'm there man

Yeah man, I'm there me mon!

That's a lot quicker than I can manage at the minute Gabby, 5k in about 30 minutes is about my benchmark at the minute, although I'm still trying to build up the distance, time can follow another time.

1.28 here.

Maybe.
