Running

She had a pb doing 10k this morning, she’s made up.

 

I had a wank and a beer.

I’m negging the person who repped that

Friend of mine was heading towards the world record for running in a suit of armour (going by his training times he would have got it) but the heat got to him. Was sick 3 Miles in.

 

He finished 2 hours ago.

Question. How much training do those running in fancy dress do in their costumes?

He got the suit of armour in November and has been training with it since then following his last Iron Man event (does about 2-3 of those a year)

That’s dedication

Or madness. Was still going out running in the suit when we had snow.

 

Apparently the blisters on him at the worst the medics have seen all day.

 

Poor guy

Still, it should be easy to lance them...

Did a 10k niterun tonight and did it in 54 minutes. Only took up running for the first time since school a few weeks ago to train for this and considering I drink and smoke a lot I'm fucking delighted.

[Rico1304]

Just been for a run, headphones ran out after a mile.

 

My splits were;

 

8:23

8:00

7:16

7:17

 

Seems like Adam Buxton slows me down.

[Bernard Diomede]

Bump

 

After a couple of heavy weekends and a week with a bad chest finally got back into running some of the bigger distances today. Feeling pretty sore now though! It’s 4 weeks today until we run the Edinburgh marathon so hoping to get up to at least 20 miles before the day itself.

 

 

We are running for a friend of mines granddaughter who has been diagnosed with a rare aggressive brain tumour and is currently in Mexico receiving treatment as it is not something that is treated here. If people could share or donate that would be really very much appreciated.

I've run the square root of fucking nowhere for about 4 years. I tried a run a few months ago but it killed my knees so I did a bit at the gym. I fell out with the entire planet, though, when some arsewipe put my car window through a few weeks ago and I binned the gym off. I've somehow managed to agree to run a 5k in June though and I'm a right fat fucker at the minute so got some serious pounds to lose to make sure I can run a paltry 5k without walking any of it.

[G Richards]

I’m at the start of the whole running thing. Been doing some walking/running combos to try to build up slowly. Calf is injured. I tore the muscle quite badly a few years ago and it’s playing up, so I’m icing it after even a modest 30 min jog/walk thing.

 

When did I get so old?

[rubble-rouser]

Just entered the Crisis Square Mile run in June - doing the 10k option. Targeting 53 minutes.

You’re thereabouts now aren’t you? Should be a breeze.

Just give it your best shot lad. Even if you don't run all of the 5k this time, you'll get there eventually.

[Duff Man]

I was doing 40 minute 10k's in my prime. I'm a long way from my prime.

[Aventus]

I used to do 25min 10k's back in my youth.

 

Good Times.

I’ve done a 45 min 10km in my 40’s - that was my prime. I spent my 20’s pissed.

Did 52 something last October. Trained yesterday - 57:17. It hurt a lot.

You calling me a liar?

 

I swear down on me ma's life that I did it, my mate Fat Phil saw me do it, ask him if you don't believe me.

I believe you mate. World records are broken all the time in practise.
