Yes it is a good one, well supported, and music etc... I might come up to watch depending on my training

MaliA · **Posted:** Wed Jan 09, 2019 21:41

Training Day 2! I have started to dress like Kov. Did 3.4 miles in 28mins 51 seconds. Strava crashed so you have to trust me. It is flatter than a witch's tit, though, so I could go much quicker.

Not colourful enough

krazywookie · **Posted:** Wed Jan 09, 2019 22:03

Why are your trainers only one colour?

KovacsC · **Posted:** Wed Jan 09, 2019 22:36

Not quite Kov Colourful.

Did a speed test today. 8 x 400m laps. I am 20 second quicker than last time

MaliA · **Posted:** Sat Jan 12, 2019 12:06

Bit slower today due to 25mph headwind for half the run.

KovacsC · **Posted:** Sat Jan 12, 2019 13:20

well done mali

I think you said you're training for a half marathon, didn't you?

If I've remembered that correctly, I would be aiming for distance (or time on feet) over speed at the minute, then throw in a fast run every now and again.

Obviously feel free to ignore me but that would be my tactic

Went to the gym last night, first time sine the start of December!

Did ok with everything AND I'm down from 13st 1lb to 12st 9lb :metul:

Lonewolves · **Posted:** Tue Jan 15, 2019 13:13

Not been under 13st in about ten years and now down to 13.5. Obviously it’s quite a good motivation! Cut down on sugar since I went back to work last week and it’s made a big difference. Lost my Xmas weight already.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue Jan 15, 2019 13:35

I'm guessing your job must help with burning off extra calories too.

Yeah. I lost 2st when I quit drinking then put half a stone back on when I started again. Then lost it again when starting the job, then put it back on over Xmas and now I’m back to where I was pre-booze.

Totally agree. That is seventeen weeks away so I thought I would spend a few weeks getting back into the feeling of it all, then after that on a Monday do thirty minutes easy pace, Thursday forty five minutes at a pace, and then a longer run on Saturday.

I've been getting more knee pain lately the day after a run. I think it's probably going to turn out to be arthritis since I had an ACL replacement about six years ago and apparently arthritis will follow that surgery more often than not within a decade. Fucking great. Anyway I'll get myself a physio appt at work first and they'll be able to refer me to the consultant if needs be.

Cool - good plan

I bought a Huawei fit band pro 2 or something. It does GPS and stuff so I can leave my phone at home. It was forty of your earth pounds.

Heart rate reads high, though.

Trogging 13.5 stone around three and half miles in half an hour almost every other day is taking a toll. My back is now fine, just right knee and ankle are going south

27minutes five seconds for 5km today

Something I heard that rings true, is that your cardio capacity improves quicker than your tendons, joints, etc.

So you may start to feel good quickly, but then get into trouble if you get carried away. Or you'll just have to be carried away. Take it easy. If you feel good enough to run, try - genuinely try - to do the same distance, but at least 5 minutes slower. Still a cardio benefit, less pressure on everything else. And varying pace is good, even if you feel a bit odd slowing down.

Also - obvs - well done, and good on you!

I went on a running machine in a shop and a man sold me some Brooks Ghost 11s. MrsA went on a running machine, too and bought some Ghost 11s.

I am a bit disgusted but still a fashion leader

Bad news! 1km my leg went LOLZ and now I am in an NHS walk in centre.

25:49 for 5km yesterday, though. I reckon there is another 50 seconds to find at some future point.

Might do 10km Sunday morning to avoid in laws unless park running the day before
