mjmooney Posted November 11, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted November 11, 2009 I can't jog flat out for a mile, even going at a silly slow pace.That's from Dec 16, 2008. I think you've improved a bit, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCLaura Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Why don't you join Trim and take up running too? Yes maybe one day, I could do with it. I'm not sure if running is 'for me' though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if running is 'for me' though. i'd be careful running with your ab's too, Laura. it is quite a high impact activity ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCLaura Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Yeah that's one of the reasons Jon. Would worry me a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I've always wanted to pull up next to a jogger and say 'you look like you're in a rush mate, need a lift?' Never had the guts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had the guts That would be mildly amusing compared to some of the shite we get from motorists who think they are oh-so-witty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just give it a go and see. A little jog to the end of your street and back or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha cheers man Just a touch! As Si mentioned before, Tuesday I was shit, but I ran Saturday, played 75minutes football (6aside) on Monday, and ran 1.5miles uphill after that, so I put it down to tiredness and nothing else. Looking forward to Sunday though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloBarnesi Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Did five miles yesterday in about 45 minutes. Twenty years ago I could do it under 32 minutes, thats what getting older and injured does for you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimandson Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 5miles in 45 minutes eh? That's about our fastest ever pace I think, good skills! What is the word with heart monitors? Worth getting one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 every time i see this thread it makes me bitter im walking 27km a day now, which would be so much less time consuming if i could run splitting it over 3 9km sessions which take about 70 minutes a pop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that getting older is an excuse - I have a mate who's 65 and can knock out 36 minute 10Ks (I hate him!) The injury might be though - what was/is it?

P3te Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 cheers as i say though id much prefer to be able to run, but i had a couple of pretty bad foot injuries so it most likely would stand up to the extra impact of running im losing too much weight though, thats the downside of the longer walks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimandson Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 **** hell mate thats some serious distance! Try light jogging for 2k or suchlike each walk and build it up that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 nah i physically cant i broke 2 metatarsals years back, the hospital told me i was fine, and i proceeded to walk around for 18 months on the foot. the bones fused a bit, healed wrong, and started growing up out of my instep, so i had to have the foot broken, the bones seperated, the excess bone chissled off, and the whole thing reset - so basically my whole right foot is brittle as **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimandson Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 Shit not pleasant mate. Can you never run again now, or will it get stronger over time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
