my soul lies in wales
Cmon pix, gyms have bars, and so there is an incentive
But 20 miles!!
Btw, little story especially for you - when I was a student and in hospital which was located opposite the house where the best party in the world was happening and I was feeling dead sorry for myself, my friends turned up with a gin & tonic for me concealed in a tupperware container. Gin never tasted so good.
but my heart is in swansea(sob)
Laura, i knew id done a maathon when i didnt really want the tin of gin hubby brought me after
I just needed to sit down, for 3 weeks!!
ive only got to outside running recently pre marathon, still sensitive
not exactly sylph-like you see
Pix, gym no good unless its close
Lunchtime running for you, tell bitch your doctor has ordered it!!
listen to youself , o runner!!!!
William Sichel who was 3rd in the 100 mile race last weekend is planning an attempt at the world 24 hour treadmill record next month.
Would love to have music blaring in my ears, but one perspires lot and the earphones get uncomfortable. The music in my local gym - Leyton Leisure Centre - is also too soft. I do understand that they don't want to dusturb anyone else though.
Running against other runners. No can do. I've checked them out. Like Sunday I did my traing at 5 min/k. That is faster than he average person can run and for how long??
Also jumping from treadmill to treasdmill is not an option cause it'll just break your rhythm and you've gotta get back to speed as well.
Maybe the best is to think of my next reply on the forum LOL.
But keep em coming.
Enjoy
1) Guess stuff - like which treadmill will be the next used, or who will get off another treadmill first.
2) Needs co-operation, but get someone to chat to you maybe, at least for quick bursts.
Agree about the intervals idea - if you go half a kph either side of your intended speed, it breaks things up into more mentally manageable 2 minute chunks, while keeping the overall speed the same.
not as fit as you lot
