    Things that piss you off that shouldn't

    it'll start on the 449, probably the swan, 6/7 good pubs, then it'll be the postal order and then it'll get worse...

    and more pretentious, had too many awful nights in Worcester, had a fair few where I've got the last train home rather than staying out

    Agree with Worcester, I can't ever remember missing the last train which tells is own story

    Any advice from more experienced runners would be welcomed here as I'm due to run the Great North 6 weeks today and its about time I tried to get prepared. I'm not in any way fit and have a target to complete the race within 2 and half hours.

    Bit of background. Started training in November things were going ok until February I hit 7 miles and ended up injuring my heel. Thought it was plantar fasciitis but it has since healed although in the meantime caught a dose of cellulitis in the shin which again has now healed. During this time I gave up my place in the GNR to a mate who last week also pulled out. So I've taken my place back.

    Started again on Saturday with a 2.5 mile run and this morning did 3 miles, not at any great pace mind you (12.2) but I think I can concentrate on pace later on. There's a bit of soreness in the thighs so will rest up tomorrow then go again on Tuesday, keeping it at 3 miles all next week and upping the distance each week as I progress. Aiming to train 4 times a week up to the race date, all being well.

    I know 6 weeks is not a very long time, and 13 miles is a long way but do you have suggestions on how to increase the training distances in a way that I'm not going to injure or kill myself over the next month and a half? Got myself a nice app, RunKeeper, some decent asics shoes to correct my overpronation (the reason for my original heel injury) and a load of motivation, which may or may not dissipate over the next month.

    I have, a lot. Don't understand it either.

     

    Nearly as baffling as the naked guys.

    I know its a cliché. But seriously, what is wrong with those blokes.

     

    In my gym on MOnday there was a guy stood using the hairdryer in the middle of the changing rooms, completely starkers.

     

    Why do you have to be naked for that? Just pop a towel on!

     

    Yeah this as well. I'm half way to fully clothed and some stranger is stood there starkers talking at me about his job. I'm now fully clothed and on my way out and the guy is still talking at me without a stitch on. Get dressed for **** sake!
