  • Some great music being put up. A real online mosh pit - Who knew?

    DS - Carter USM were a fantastic live band.

    JR - Prodigy another band I love live. Only really got into them on the Fat of the Land album. Great idea, a monthly theme.

    B2B - Nothing wrong with heavy mate.

    MachineHead, Slipknot, Biohazard all favs of my younger days. Will upload a few oldies tomorrow if I get a chance.

    Onto the main event - Another 2.3 miles tonight, 11 m/m. Nice and slow, no real issues. Good to be back out again.image

    2014 - 9.13

  • Love this too....Empire of the Sun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN5X4kGhAtU

    but I reckon my track of choice has to be this. Our local weatherspoons used to be a proper pub. This was blaring out of the jukebox every weekend for about a year. I was 20 years old and beating everyone on the pool table and getting hammered ...good times. image

  • Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine, superb image

    Beachball, check out the Prodigy oldies, especially from the Prodigy Experience album. Some real rave classics. image

    The KLF, last train to transcentral. Apparently these nutters burned a cool £1million to prove money wasn't the point. Mental.

    I might do some running tomorrow but stuck on youtube for now!

     

  • EMF...Unbelievable .....Love it. However, they were unbelievably shit live.

  • B2B, check this out. Wait for the Bass at 1:30. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkRZBQZiUps

  • Ok, one more. Tiesto (as already mentioned) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EaE0_gQLw0

  • Underworld, Born Slippy. Trainspotting!!!

  • Must stop now, but not until i've posted this one. One happy song.

  • JR - If we are talking Maiden, its got to be Run to the Hills!!! image

    +1 for old Prodigy, I will have to check all the other stuff when I get home stoooopid work is in the way image

    BB - Love Slipknot! OLD Sepultura, Machine head, Fear factory, Nine inch nails, Cannibal Corpse, Hed(PE), Green Day, Silver Chair, Skunk Anansie, Stone Sour, Murder Dolls..........

  • Favourite Iron Maiden track has to be the Rhymn of the Ancient Mariner.

    Amongst all the other stuff forgot good old Lemmy and We are the Road Crew and Ace of Spades and of course pretty much anything and everything by Uriah Heep!!!

    Looks like the marathon may be on again - a sort of personal reason, and I won't be asking for sponsorship on here but my wife has persuaded me that I should run it in aid of research into a cure for Multiple myeloma ( a type of bone cancer). She was going to do a charity jump, but in doing further research found that a lot of the funds would not go to the charity - so she decided the fund raising ahould be passed to me. 

    To celebrate I ran 3 very easy miles this morning

  • Grendel - That is fantastic! imageimageimageimageimageimageimageimageimage When is it?

  • Grendel

    That is brilliant news re the marathon (I take it it will be Halstead) you ran a massive amount of miles last year have a fantastic base now and it would be a shame not to see all those hard run miles put to use. Fantastic, look forward to hearing on your progress building up to it.

     

  • It is Halstead but with the Kent Road Runner one as a reserve -  No time goals just to rais some cash for a charity.

  • Grendel - Just have fun with it! image

  • Thats the intention

  • Good on you Grendel, an Iron Maiden Marathon sounds like it would be right up our street on here.....

    Just had lunch after a very busy morning at work, not always a positive working a half day as they still want the same amount of work done it seems. Anyway, going to play a few of the tracks you good people have put up while I sort my emails and then at 3pm i'm off for a run image

     

  • Back from my run just 4.26. I needed to get out the estate agent thing was bugging me.

    Nice to go out in the light but nights drawing out now

  • Back from my run. 5.48 miles in total along the canal and to keep me going I jumped into every puddle I found. Great fun. Bit quicker today @ 9mm but once i'd settled into it I found it difficult to slow down. Long slow run over the weekend....maybe double figures! image

    January - 50.4 - 50 miles up for the month....may revise my months target!

  • Good luck with the LSD -

  • Jimbob and Fruitbat at their finest.

    Pure rawness from Phil Anselmo and the boys. Great riff. Still can't believe Dimebag Darrell was shot dead.

    And this from all female four piece Savages. Something very late 70s about them - What do you think?

    Enjoy image

     

  • BB - walk is a great tune! This is one of my favs! RAW RIFFS! image

  • Awesome - In many ways I think Far Beyond Driven is a better album than Vulgar Display of Power - Both great though.

  • That's my running week completed - 8.36

    Week - 30.32 miles

    Jan -  69 miles

  • Brilliant 330. You are flying! image

    30 miles in one week is exceptional. I am aiming for 10 miles tomorrow which would give me almost 28 miles, my highest ever weekly mileage.

  • Well done 330 and good luck Just Run hope the 10 goes well tomorrow - I nearly had a rest day today but in the end went out and did a sloooow 6 miles - legs feeling the two speed sessions this week - but focused on a long one for tomorrow - 17 weeks to Halstead.

  • Thanks JR/Grendel

    I am hoping now to keep a 30 mile week standard - consistency is the key I believe and that's something I haven't always observed

    Good luck with the ten JR - I haven't been over 8.5 since July last year when to be honest I think I pushed the miles to far and was doing 12 at the weekends which to be honest was to much and I blew up and August - December were poor months mileage wise. May push the longer run to 9 next week.

    Just 17 weeks Grendel that's come round quick - are you following a schedule ?

  • I know we have covered this before and there are loads of threads  on here about it but how much (as a percentage of your weekly miles) is your long run?

    Lots of seemingly sound advice for people running around 4 days a week and up to 30 miles would put me in the 30% bracket. 

    I'm aware there is no 'one size fits all' but the higher the percentage the higher the chance of injury (that's surely a certainty) so by obsessing with getting my long runs up in preparation for a 20 miler i'm increasing my injury chances while running them at a very slow pace to try to counteract this (making sense so far?).

    5+ days running and your long run would be around 25% (what would say Grendel?)

    Using 30% as a guide my long run this week should 7.6 miles and according to some (and this comes from elites and elite coaches) I could even do a long run every 10-14 days rather than every week because of the strain it puts your body under. 

    It would seem that most advice would point me in the general direction of increasing the distance of my week day runs as that will have greater impact on my fitness.

    That said i'm feeling good at the moment and if I listen to my body a slow 10 tomorrow is hardly filling me with fear. If anything i'm looking forward to it as I seem to be recovering from my runs very quickly. 

    Any advice welcome although as a typical runner i'll probably ignore everything and do the 10 anyway. image

  • Your long run distance seems more sensible than mine 330 and reading your post really got me thinking again (now my head hurts). 

  • To be honest JR I have always wondered if there is a rule of thumb re the long run and whether it should be x% more than the normal weekly run

    My runs this week have been 6.08 (no garmin so I need to run to the nearest landmark to measure on a map !!) and today I ran 8.36 so about 35% more ?

    Would be nice to get a rough guide though. Then the % could be used as the weekly runs are steadily increased. I really don't want to be running to long for my long run compared to my midweek run and burn out (which I did this summer)

    I am trying to build a progression where I am not exhausting myself for future sessions. I will have tomorrow off then see how it goes Monday
