What were your times Hula? Are you thinking of trying a 10k?

[Deleted User]

Thats the one, he's er a doctor too, hope he doesnt read this, he's a consultant actually

Psoas is a core muscle, you can feel the stretch straight up from quads through abdo past hip bone. In my case it had got quite short and was pulling on quads and kneecap, hence some gait probs last year. Stretching it took pressure off other bits and hey presto - legs worked.

I do like my osteopath :-)

[Deleted User]

yes he is a hozzie consultant
you seeing him DDP?


get some running tips while you are there!

I withdraw my previous post and bow to all doctors present. I'm not, and anything I describe must be taken with a good pinch of incredulity.

Before I tell you my times can I just say that I only run for extra fitness, to help with kickboxing. So I don't get to run that often. Ok, so excuses made I can share my last 5K run time (RFL) was 31:51.

And yes, I may try and do a 10K this year, but I can't commit to that yet.

The pressure...

Someone just thanked me for the 'amusing' routine my colleague and I ran through today whilst attempting to achieve a commercially viable position with another organisation. I call it teamwork, but they saw it as a bit of an unfair contest.

Gone dancing. See y'all tomorrow.

Yup, Hippo, my G.P. is a runner (he did F.L.M.)and he has just refferred me to Mike Stroud

Sadly speed is always a relative thing... There's ALWAYS someone faster!

I take it Hippo, that you know what his speiality is ..... I'll quiz him though before he examines me, as part of the getting the patients confidence routine

Guess I'll get the 'reg' now!

Redhead

Wow DDP, make sure you get lots of tips form him. Hope he can sort out your problems.

Hula, that's a good time. You might find that an increase in distance would help your stamina for your kick-boxing.

[Deleted User]

Redhead, the problem I have is that I have super-speed (well, I think so) over a short distance but the thought of anything longer than 5k just bores me to tears. Perhaps I am not meant to run that far...and probably shouldn't have joined this website...sob.

[Deleted User]

Go on Hula, Give it a whirl.

Ho ho BO

Don Minquez

Absolutely! I hardly ever run anyway, but I'm still bloody well here!

re Henman

I think the problem lies in his name due to its inherent gender conflict leaving him perpetually confused as to whether he should be playing like a man or a hen.

I suggest he changes his name to Cockman in an attempt to reduce this uncertainty thus enabling him to concentrate on his tennis.

Hi Hippo,

It is one of my little failings. I worried for quite some time about a feminist of my acquaitance called Chapman. I'm sure a name change would have made her a happier woman.

Are you thinking of doing the trentham 10. It has a killer hill early on btw.

[Deleted User]

Evening peeps and welcome Hula. Do try a 10k, Hula - I find them easier than 5ks, which as peeps are bored of hearing, I HATE.

[Deleted User]
