I know you from Pinnacle/Cannons days. I'm currently training at Dave and Mark's gym but there is a group of us that go running - sometimes just a couple depending on who's around at the time!? Depending on how far people want to go - jsut recently only 5-7 miles but I would love to get these miles up as considering Marathon next year. Call me 07974 348711. Alison (long red hair!) ex fitness instructor!
Am in the same boat as you both at the mo - trying to get back into it after 2 bike accidents !
Am into Triathlon too and aim to get back into it over this winter so if u fancy meeting up for a little whatever at some stage then please get in contact.

Other than that I can normally be found at the ole Chris Lanes (now David Lloyd in Woking)
Good luck and be in touch
Dave
Also by April to build up the miles (on another day) to incorporate more of the Marathon route (eg round Surrey Quays)which takes the total loop to 20 miles (Finish Petts Wood)
Route via Lewisham or Crystal Palace
I was looking at your own website earlier today because you mentioned it on another thread. Sounds like your making loads of progress - 1hr 40 for 13 miles by Christmas would be great going. As for 90mins by April.... wow.

I know I can do it and earlier this year got down to 107 on the Thurs and 104 on the Friday just before the marathon and as you can see had loads of injuries.
Hopefully learnt the lesson. and have decided to do more runs but of shorter distances, over weekly milage though is slightly greater.
Also adding speed work this time round.
Any tips?
I'm in Sale. Too far? I'm pants anyway.
Probably not a good idea to go out alone with anyone named Freaky anyway!
At the moment I'm just running the streets/to & from work & travelling a bit further on the weekend. Am not doing Stockport but am considering Four Villages (too close to xmas I ask myself?), Wilmslow & think have got in for FLM (cheque cashed, didn't bequeath etc). You?
I did the GNR this year (my first half) and I'm planning on Wilmslow next year.
Cheers!
I am a "try and get round" person.
Would be great to hear from you.
I've missed out on FLM (having been running since June)but will be keeping up my training over winter months (to keep in shape for 10Ks, Half Marathons and (possibly) the Robin Hood Marathon in Sept) and would be happy to join you depending on where you are - I live in Wollaton (a stone's throw from Wollaton Park, so good for training runs).
Not particularly fast (47-50 mins for 10ks, 1 hr 50 ish for Half Marathons)but hoping to improve next year!!! Let me know if you'd like to meet up.
I live in France but will be over at my parents in Woking for the hols. If anyone fancies training Christmas week that'd be great. I'm doing the FLM on a bond place, but very slowly! I'm doing 6 min miles on my mid-week runs at the moment.
Cheers
You are a tortoise to my hare!!!!
(slopes off for another cup of tea to abate advancing hangover...thank god it's friday!!!)
I feel a bit of a tw*t now!
(now I'm the one sloping off!)
(slopes off for another cup of tea)
Actually we've been doing a lot of sloping today, do you think that counts towards our training?
Nottingham's north of the Watford Gap!
Wollaton Parker,
Sounds great, I'm only a few miles away, but you're still a bit fast for me so perhaps not quite yet!
Don't worry about speed - most of my 'longer' runs (5 miles+) are done at a much slower training pace (I reserve my 'speed' work for runs home from the office!! Domestic and work commitments limit my longer runs to weekends, but I would be only to happy to meet up - particularly if you fancy a 'local' run - I'm only 2 mins run away from Wollaton Park (strangely enough!!!)so a bit spoilt for the more scenic runs.
Need to keep my motivation going over winter months and it would be good to have a training partner - I'm still thinking about whether or not to go for a marathon myself next year.
