Did a 10k 5 weeks ago, had pain again in hip and knee, but strangely it went away again. Physio could not explain. Not sure if just a warning twinge and just things balancing out again. Weird!!!
Want to feel like a gazelle running not an elephant !!!
Hippo- physio is quite yummy though!! Is that totally the wrong way to choose a physio????
Albion- May is a little far, thinking of also giving Edinburgh half a bash in April. Also have committed self to the Moonwalk in June.
I too am still waiting for that day
good job i am patient
you BAD girlie!
Albion-neolithic mara is nice, but a little pricey and not the easiest of maras
havent done the half-but i believe the scennic stuff is actually in the marathon
check in later - BYE !
its not called the toxic 10/20 for nothing
bye albion
mmmmmmmmmmmm
It's so very wrong!!!
Right off shopping- that counts as exercise yes??
Will let you know if I run!! Good luck with race at weekend Hippo.
get back here and report on your run
you wouldnt want to let us down now would you
I'm from round there and the scenery is really good - will definitely take your mind off things when it starts to hurt!
I'm doing the RunLondon 10k on Sunday round Hyde Park - anyone else? (boo, no drinks in the pub tonight!)
Enjoy your race at the weekend Hippo
do links like this
havent run today - now going shopping .....
Love the Piccy !! Its great when it appears you feel like you have an identity of sort !?!
which Wiltshire run are you thinking off?
My Sis in Law comes from Swindon way ? She runs lots of 1/2's mayb I can see if we can both do it ? although I'm nervous doing 10ks !! I'd be a quivering wreck by the day of a 1/2 !! ...
maybe thinking I should do some more 5 and 10k first ? only done 1 10k !
May is quite a long way off so maybe it'll be ok - must say I was very nervous before my 10k ! you know all those thoughts - bet I wont make it round - bet I'll be last etc ! but it went well and I was pleased with my time considering when I started running I was doing 2 mins run on the treadmill !!!
It would be lovely to meet up with some other people !!
I shall try and find out some info on it and let you know
I did my first 10k May only started training for it Jan, I do remember thinking too myself wot am I doing at the 6k mark!!
I try to give myself 10ks as a target,
Your doing very well, I think I'm the same as you, I only train 4-5k (3miles) outside,I can't afford a gym yet, I do miss the treadmill. I have the Nike 10k tomorrow, I missed the 8k train last week, so I'm worried I'm not going to pace right... I'm so nervous I feel sick !!
10k are really my target too ! maybe I should do more of them for a while !
What sort of time are you looking at for your 10k - whats your pb ?
How is everone today
Choccy - did you go for your run ?
Make sure you keep dropping in !!
Will be of our out for a run this evening - it is a glorious day !
Just 5 x 5mins run 1 min walk. Knee hurt a bit but think it could just be shock to system as all feels good now. Lots of stretching and exercises tonight again!
May even try a small 2 x 5mins tomorrow.
Thanks for 1/2 link clarej, it looks good. I am really a 10k runner but like the challenge of a half. I think 10ks are useful for the build up to the half. I used several at the beginning of the year to improve speed times and reckon that helped towards half as was quicker than I thought on a challenging course.
Albion, I think you should go for the 1/2 and use the 10ks to make sure you are experienced in races and times are going in right direction. Far better to run with others, and races are such fun!!
Hippo- how was the race? Saw it in the back of the magazine today!
Clarej- how was yours?
Went for a 4 miler today - lovely run - was really chuffed with myself - lovely evening too !
Everyone make sure you drop in to let us know how your races went ......
