lou Posted 10 April 2009 Posted 10 April 2009 Thanks - I'm just curious as to why going from standing to sitting can make me pass out, but I can run quicker than I could two weeks ago!!It makes no sense! have messaged him on Facebook so will let you know what he thinks. Does seem very odd.

Guest Posted 17 April 2009 Posted 17 April 2009 Just run 7.5 miles in an hour. I wasn't even out of breath, and could have carried on. It's brilliant, but it's bloody ridiculous!!

Monk Posted 17 April 2009 Posted 17 April 2009 That's a great time Lisa. I'm slowly but surely getting back into my runs. IT band is holding up OK so far, but I'm not running long distance. Last night I ran 2.7 miles in 25 minutes. I'm going to use this circuit to find a new pace which can get me under 2hrs in a half marathon, then extend the distance.

Last night I ran 2.7 miles in 25 minutes. I'm going to use this circuit to find a new pace which can get me under 2hrs in a half marathon, then extend the distance. Just keep plugging away at it. I managed to do a sub-2hr half marathon, and it's all about building up the miles. I also found it helpful just once a week running for a short time, but doing either fartlek (that's right Flynny, fartlek ) or interval training. You obviously want to be getting an overall quicker pace during the short run, but it really does help with distance running.
General Smuts Posted 17 April 2009 Posted 17 April 2009 I'm going to use this circuit to find a new pace which can get me under 2hrs in a half marathon, then extend the distance. Woah woah woah - no one told me we'd have to run this thing fast! Im looking for a sub 3 hour time!
Bellend Sebastian Posted 17 April 2009 Posted 17 April 2009 Woah woah woah - no one told me we'd have to run this thing fast!Im looking for a sub 3 hour time! If a creaky old git like me can run a sub 2 hour half marathon, you certainly can!
lou Posted 17 April 2009 Posted 17 April 2009 Race for Life event in Leicester on 12 Jul 09 at 11:00 5k........... have signed up for it! Havent ran in my life... but gonna try and get into some shape and at least run most of it!

Havent ran in my life... but gonna try and get into some shape and at least run most of it! Wayhey!! Don't underestimate the importance of the walk/jog method of training when starting out. Also, the Great Central Way is brilliant for running, as you won't be the only one, and there are no cars. It's also flat!

Was wanting to get fitter as its all creeping up on me since I reached 40 so its a good time to do it and help ppl too. Im going to cycle to work 3 times a week too (which is about 11 miles a day) so that should help. Who knows maybe this time next year a half marathon might be within my grasp
General Smuts Posted 21 April 2009 Posted 21 April 2009 Just been for a run. 13 miles will e harder than i thought. Ow.
Guest Posted 21 April 2009 Posted 21 April 2009 Just been for a run. 13 miles will e harder than i thought. Ow. Dare we ask how long and how far you ran tonight?
Raj Posted 21 April 2009 Posted 21 April 2009 Dare we ask how long and how far you ran tonight? Gaylord was probably chasing some chap around the Supermarket. GAYLORD! Due to illness and other stuff i aint been running for a whole week.
Bellend Sebastian Posted 21 April 2009 Posted 21 April 2009 I've not been for WEEKS. I could have gone tonight, but I treated my decking instead. ROCK AND ROLL
Raj Posted 21 April 2009 Posted 21 April 2009 I've not been for WEEKS. I could have gone tonight, but I treated my decking instead.ROCK AND ROLL What did you treat your decking to? Pizza,Fish and Chips or a nice cosy meal in???
Bellend Sebastian Posted 21 April 2009 Posted 21 April 2009 Some lottery scratchcards and a pot noodle. I know how to show timber a good time. I really need to start running again though. They keep bringing in chocolate and stuff at work - it's ruining me
Guest Posted 21 April 2009 Posted 21 April 2009 I'm on the interval training this week to get a bit of fitness and speed back. I'm a proper slow-arse when I run anyway but it'd be nice to beat my last 1/2 marathon time when I do this windsor one
Monk Posted 21 April 2009 Posted 21 April 2009 Had a great 3 mile run this evening, it was beautiful out and I found some energy from nowhere. Knee still niggling pain though. I have now signed up to Windsor
General Smuts Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 Dare we ask how long and how far you ran tonight? I ran for about 15 minutes cos it was too hot and i was going too fast and there was a 3 flight staircase in the middle. I'll work out how far i went in a minute. Anything to put off doing the mountain of work i have. Had a great 3 mile run this evening, it was beautiful out and I found some energy from nowhere. Knee still niggling pain though. I have now signed up to Windsor Friday, thy will be done.
General Smuts Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 1.5 miles apparently. Felt much longer. And it's all uphill. Did i say that it was all uphill yet? And there were stairs. Im so unfit.
Alexikokopops Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 1.5 miles apparently. Felt much longer. And it's all uphill. Did i say that it was all uphill yet? And there were stairs. ... Im so unfit. A good website I use for mapping runs is MapMyRun.com. It gives you a lot more flexibility when planning your route. I did three miles in just over 24 minutes on Monday. I need to get back on this running big time.
