I've been trying to go for a run this past few weeks before work and struggled to get out of bed and ended up avoiding going for the run altogether. It has me wondering if I need to go to bed earlier.
So what time do you all go to bed at and what time to you go for your run at?
pablo - I go to bed about 10 and get up around 4/4:30 depends how long I intend to run for.
i go to bed at 11pm and get up at 6am most days, usually out runing by 7am after the dog walk. it helps to get out early as i have a young family and can spend more time at home with them in the evenings.
Pablo, keep at it, it is worth it in the end. I go to bed any time between 10 and 11:30 and am up and out around 5am.
If you find it hard getting up, try going to bed half an hour earlier for a couple of nights and see if that helps. I di have the advantage of starting my SOC's in the summer so the first few times it was already light. Getting up and out in the dark does take some getting used to!
pablo - you just have to get into a routine really, get your stuff ready the night before and as soon as the alarm goes get up and out before you have time to think about it.Once you are in the routine it is easy
Yeah, I went to bed last night at 10pm and the alarm was set for 6.30am. I sort of woke up around 4 or 5 and it feels like I dozed a bit. When I know I need to get up early, I seem to struggle to sleep fully through until the alarm. But then when it came to 6.30am I was just so tired and sleepy I stayed in bed.
Am wondering do I need to go to bed even earlier!
Pablo, nope you just need to be determined when that alarm goes off, don't snooze it, just roll out of bed and go get ready.
Evening
Had a longer lie yesterday and couldn't get on 'net this morning. Need to catch up, It'sbeen cold the last 2 mornings up here.
Morning and a cold one again up here.
Hat and gloves on. Clear sky too
NW:1 Owl, 1 fox, 1 cyclist, 1 Kingsmill Van, 2 horses. lots of stars in sky
PW: 1 car.
Morning all - 5 miles on tired post track legs, 2 x NX and 1 X PW, quite mild here but the gloves still stayed on as I was moving so slowly. Valis, I hope you are feeling a lot better this morning, sounds very nasty. Pablo, hope you made it up and out. Happy hump day to you all.
Valis - hope you are OK...?
Morning to the newbie SOC'ers. You've just got to JFDI..
Get your stuff ready and put the alarm beyond arms reach. Once you are out you will love it... it's the getting out the door bit that is a bit daunting. I don't even stop to pee - plenty of countryside to do that once you are out and awake! And take a small drink with you so that's another job you don't need to do to delay you inside your nice warm heated house! 
My ankle is tight, I wonder if my shoes are about all done in....?
Morning to the regular nutters
Happy hump day indeed.
(and to the earlier question... I will be back in the pool regularly, well at least weekly, and I don't particularly enjoy it as it's so dull tramping up and down a lane)!
morning all
good club session last night, although when I got back to my car I discovered my legs were covered with blood - I thought I had felt my shorts rubbing a bit, but have never had chafing so bad that it has made me bleed. No-one in the club had said anything so I hope it was just too dark and they hadn't noticed rather than thinking they were being discrete by not saying anything and that it was a women's problem
anyway, for some reason couldn't sleep last night so didn't run this morning, shame as it is a lovely morning and not too cold. Got to go to a parents evening tongiht, yawn. Maybe that will help me drop off!
Morning
Back to SOC and it felt good, nice clear skies so all the stars were really clear. Bit chilly but stil in t-shirt and shorts, no gloves yet
NW 1 x fox 2 x cats
OR x 2
Been swimming loads well twice this week so loads for me...
keep forgetting that beachy is only a couple of weeks away, been thinking that i might do the portsmouth coastal marathon on the 23rd december. anyone done this one ??
I have Tommy, I think I'll do it this year as well, it's a bit bleak, and an out and back, but friendly and they can't stop giving you gels and jelly babies, good pre Christmas session!
Hi kateF it looks reasonably flat in fact it looks very flat. I guess if the wearther is fair it not to bad bad but on a stormy day it looks a bit exposed. oh well i might just enter it anyway. My mum live in fareham so coud be a good excuse to vist just before crimbo...
Morning L&G
Tommy, I did the half back in February and it's well organised and sooo flat. It's a bit urban meets the sea. Not my favourite which is a shame as it's only a few miles down the road. I'll be missing the full, as I'll be on holiday somewhere hot. I even checked if there was a run I could enter during the holiday. There isn't!
At least it saves me from getting humiliated by Kate again....
Morning all, out by 5.15 for a 6 miler, the only other living organisms I saw were my cat who joined me out of the door, and a few eyes staring, from the bushes on the trail not the houses
. Valis hope all is well with you today. Morning Birky and Kate. PSC agree you JFDI, too much thinking at that time of the morning would hurt. MC, that is chafing, ouch. Tommygun impressed with the way you might be dropping off your mum's xmas pressies this year.
Hi all
Thanks for the well wishes, appreciated. short story went to A&E 5hours x-ray blood test we cant see anything must be viral(lol) go home . I'm still in fair bit of pain saw a gp today( not mine though) got some reasonable pain killers the link below is a post of mine on a website which says a bit more about previous incidents my post is about the tenth and not one of the worst by far any one interested they all make for quite a read and saves me typing out again here though there has been a couple of things since.

At best a week no running at worst maybe 3 and look to cancel c2c and tp 100
Thanks again now time for meds and the world of numb.
valis - gosh that sounds nasty, look after yourself and go back to a&e if it gets worse and be insistent - or get someone else to be insistent on your behalf. Fingers crossed you are back to normal soon
Hi all,
Haven't done any long distance runs recently. I've been working on my sprint and strength training, I can now do 100m in 12.3 seconds. My aim is to be doing it in 11 seconds by May!
Well I didn't make it out for a SOC run today but the good thing was that I was wide awake and definitely wasn't too tired. I just got lazy
Hopefully tomorrow morning I'll get it sorted.
It sort of helped to think of everyone else going to bed early-ish and getting up early. Although I wasn't that tired last night so I think it was after 11pm before I nodded off.
Evening
valis: Good to see you're okay
Back later.
JF50: A very belated morning to you mate
5:30; And a belated well done to you mate.
Craigerrs, you may run the 100m in an astonishing 12 seconds, but I run 420 times further than you
Goodness knows how many more times PSC, Kate and Valis run.... Get well soon Valis, those runs you have in mind would make me ill just thinking about them!
Birky we let a goal in after 13 secs yesterday
Well done on your soc JF.
I might be a bit of a soc cheat recently as I've had so many races the early morning runs have become more infrequent.
just realised the link does not work so here is a copy and paste of it
Hi I think I have been lucky so far I have only had two collapses/spontaneous pneumothorax so far the first came 5 years ago . It was a month after a bike crash I had a 25% collapse on my right side. I was told I fitted the profile tall skinny and it might happen again ,over the last 5 years i have been to hospital three times when I had the same symptoms only to be told there was nothing wrong and given dirty looks by the doctors as if I was wasting their time.
last may I had bad pains on my left side and the same thing went to a&e and told nothing wrong go home. then two weeks ago at work real bad pain on my left side i was at work and it was about 11.30 am. I finished my day at work as I thought if I went to a& e I would get the same dirty looks as before.
When I got home My girlfriend called an ambulance straight away as she said I looked grey and was in so much pain.
the paramedic that turned up listened to my chest took my pulse and said I sounded fine but as I was in so much pain they would take me in to get checked over. In the ambulance he said that his monitors showed that I had plenty of oxygen in my blood and was told it could not be a collapsed lung as I had suggested he did not believe I was a smoker due to the readings he was getting "no your oxygen levels are far too high".
When we got to hospital he told the nurse I was in pain but it could not be a collapse.
Within a couple minutes she had listened to my chest got a doctor and was calling for an x-ray The doctor asked me after the x -ray when the pain had started it was now 7.30 pm when I told her she looked stunned she then informed me I had a 70% collapse on my left side after that I have to say the treatment i received was great and i returned to work after a week I do not get sick pay or I might of had a couple of weeks off however I think the longer you stay idle the harder it is to get back to normal.
However I have got to face facts and %'s give up the fags and hope it does not happen again.
What gets me is on the times I went to hospital and was told there was nothing wrong I really do belive that I had small collapse of around the 10% to 15% and after each of those times it took around a week to three weeks before the pain eased up I know there is little they can do if the x-ray does not show up anything however being fobbed off with muscle strain or viral infection is an insult after enduring the pain and experience that tells us something different.
The doctor said that I would get sent an appointment to see a chest specialist in around 4 weeks they told me that 5 years ago and I still waiting for that one.
Ooh lots of pain and suffering on this thread at the moment. Hope everyone feels better soon. Valis - take care, that does not sound like something to be messing about with. Definitely get back to the doctors if you're still in pain. Mathschick - ouch to the chafing! Bet that will be sore for a while.
Well......my running gear is laid out and ready, headtorch and hi vis gear on the dresser and alarm set for 5am with a very annoying noise and will be left by the bedroom door........
