You can have the analysis done for £20, or they'll bundle it in for free with a new set of trainers.

Found out I cannot jog very far after a 12 hour shift, guessing it's the new workbooks and moving about all day. I managed 3k and had to stop as my feet were aching and toes were throbbing, more so on the right foot. Quit before I hurt myself.

Made up by doing my second 8k this morning, held a constant pace and heart rate was coming up to high 150s at the end, all recorded so I have my new baseline to check against in a month or so. A month ago I would have collapsed off in a heap so happy with progress.

Just checked actually, month and a half gone from 2k and feeling like death to 8k and feeling fine if a bit sweaty Sick

, well chuffed with that. Slow buildup for beginner is definitely the way.

Next one I might just do the 10 so I can say I've done it.

My BF is 10 to 11 on display, I think it's under reading, actual will be around 13. I'm doing press-up*50, sit-up*90, back extension*90, 3kg soft Dumbbell * 50 at work locker room, Stairs dash before lunch. This is just a petit training but maybe better than nothing.

Ran my first event ever yesterday.

10k across the Chiltern hills, 600ft climbed opposed to my normal 220!

Killer steep hills at the start and end.

205 people ran I came in place 97 and got my new 10k PB even on such a hilly circuit which I was pleased with of 51:16.

The bloke that won it did it in 34:59 Laughing

Machines.

So pleased that's done. Can't move my legs today aching like mad.

Going to mix it up a bit now and do different things, run up hills, slow/fast, shorter runs ect opposed to the usual 1 hour run.

Anyone wear a bumbag / belt when running I'm struggling to find anything half decent mine bounces all over the shop Laughing

Cheers

couldn't be bothered today, but managed to drag myself away from GTA V and get out on my bicycle, and ended up getting quite a good cario workout

not many hills round here, had to cycle outside of the borough to find some, none of the gear and no real idea, and went flying past a load of lycra clad enthusiasts on proper bikes Laughing

to be fair they were probably out for a long haul ride.

Quite enjoyed myself actually, out of the town in 15 minutes into the countryside, then off down some quite lanes, and a little track through a hamlet to enjoy being in the sunshine and a view, then belted home hell for leather got wobbly jelly legs at the end of it.

Toying with the idea of changing the tyres on the bike and getting out on bridleways instead of the road.

woah, what just happened?

I went to reply to Eddies post, and it said I didn't have permission to reply to threads in this forum, then booted me back to the main screen, and when I went back it (his post) wasn't there!

Sorry to keep being a running bore but smashed every single one of my records last night with 7 new PB's,

Was pleased to say the least!

I went out originally to try and improve on some of Strava's 'Segments'

I got 9th out of 45 on one, and 14th out of 108 on the other Mr. Green

I was going to do a much shorter distance but in the end felt good so just carried on. (Ached like mad though as did 7.5 miles Saturday morning, completely detailed my car afterwards - 6 hours Laughing

) and walked around Santa Pod all day Sunday.. so legs weren't in the best state last night lol!

Amazing how quick your body can improve, I wasn't out of breath after that last night. Still holding out for a sub 50 10k though that would be nice... 2 seconds out!! Laughing

Cheers

I've gotten back to doing some strength training now, and it's kinda weird how much my legs have improved as (I presume) a result of the running - my arms are still weak as shit, but I can now leg press 115kg without any trouble. Not bad for a lardarse. Laughing

Decided to sign up for Glasgow half marathon with only 2 weeks to train for it...
To pile on the sins of training I also decided to purchase some new running shoes yesterday. Saucony zealot iso. They look hideous, but were by far the most comfortable I tried on.
No time in mind as this is my first long run ever, I just want to make it across the finish line Very Happy

I'm training for a blackbelt grading in December at the moment and I've kicked my running up a notch in addition to the training I already do. Two hours technical and heavy bag / pad work in the gym, sparring rounds and straight out into 2 miles every night afterwards, 4 times a week. Struggling at the moment but running a never been my favourite thing.
