depends what you wanna do innit. If you stick to doing the parkrun every week you’ll definitely see improvement though

#433

I don’t want to die by suffocating under roles of my own blubber.

#434

Yeah I used to really enjoy parkrun as it was the same time every week and you could see your results written down. I never managed to get under 30 min for 5km but I think i could do that now.

My major running problem is my tits. I swear to god I have to wear such a tight sports bra to keep my boobs in place but this really restricts my breathing.

Fucking stupid twat last night.

Went for my normal 10k run (to hillsbrough park, 2 loops, then back) but my contact lens was broken and my new set arrive today, and it was raining so I had to go out with (very) impaired vision, and forgot that Wednesday were at home last night. Kept almost running into people :frowning:

Might try to run a half marathon tomorrow morning, bit worried it might be a bit too soon though

#437

Stick to a route that keeps you fairly close to home so you can always sack it off if it turns out it is. What’s the furthest you’ve run so far?

#438

I did a half in April 2015. But in this stretch of run training I’ve done a 17km a month or so ago, but then got knocked out for a couple of weeks with a stinker of a cold, have done a couple of 10ks this week. Should be ok getting round, but I want to run it quicker than my timed one (1:47) which might mean I blow up at some point

#439

Perhaps aim for 15K or so and see how you are at that point before hitting the final six? When is the half?

#440

Doing a full (!!) in manchester in April. Will probably sign up for a proper half beforehand but nothing booked in yet

#441

Still contemplating a full but keep sacking the idea off, I need to get a half booked in soon to aim for something.

Isn’t it recommended that you go up through the distances at around a rate of plus 10% each time? Plenty of time to get back up to speed.

See how you feel tomorrow and good luck.

#442

aye, generally, but I’m pushing it a bit because:
a) I can only really run max. 3 times a week atm
b) christmas is coming up and I’m inevitably going to put on weight
c) I’ve done a half before so feel like my body should be ok with the distance
d) I’m running for a time as well as trying to get round

Probably silly but ah well

#443

10% is ideal, Can push it to around 20% if you’re running well or mileage is particularly low

#444

thought I’d move the chat over from the stat thread

I’m guessing you mean this?

I’d be up for it

#445

That’s the one. Did it the year before last, decent course, good crowds. A bit expensive but it’s something to aim for immediately after Xmas. Also they had snow machines at various stages which were a bit irritating but not the end of the world.

The ‘Penguin Party’ sounds interesting…

#447

Can’t remember any penguins from the other year, I like penguins but I’m not that keen on parties.
