Vomit and Grimace personally....
But Schmunks...if you follow that thread it says to PM you. How are we suppose to figure out what to do if we want a buff - we're only mere men afterall!!
SD - what we need is a list of all the threads with lists that we can feck up!!
What you need is a damn good kicking
I presume you're referring to my swimming technique??
Of course I am dear
Devon may be hilly but we're not quite in the alpine league.
Thanks for your advice guys.
There's a lovely alpine style climb on Porlock Hill (old toll road)......it was great to go down too.
WOW! Evening all, I cant believe so much has gone on since I last checked in... apologies for the absence have had unexpected visitors... Anyhow got 8 miles in on sunday over about 64 minutes, 5k jog last night followed by 90 minutes XT and easy 10k this evening... Very excited too because the book has arrived!!!
Now I have two questions guys, please:
1. Should I read the book in its entirity before starting the training?
2. I am about to embark on the runners world sub 90 minutes training schedule for the bristol half on the 30th of september - it is quite an intense schedule and I was wondering whether I could wait until 30th of Sept before starting IM training or whether I should try and fit some swim / bike sessions in...?
Thanks Guys

Plinsky - I start my marathon 16 week programme next week for Dublin in October, have two weeks off then start 30 week programme for IM Lanza! But I plan to keep the cycling up a bit over the summer, with the odd bit of swimming too. I find cross training like this often helps my runnig anyway.
Might see you at Bristol - I was hoping for a sub 90 too!!
Porlock Hill!!! Jesus thats scary walking it!!! It was even more scary when I drove down it with my old VW van...! R - E - S - P - E -C -T
Thanks RafikiD,
I dont think I will be able to achieve that but I will try my damn hardest... I might try to cycle to work ... its a 15 miles journey (a very hilly one too). How often should I do it to gain the benefits...?
If you are referring to FInks book then I would read it in bits and pieces, its a bit heavy going
I tend to use those kind of books more for reference than anything..
The thread moves really quick at times. Half the posters are ladies of leisure so they have time to be on the Internet all day, in between Jeremy Kyle that is
If theres tons of posts i open two windows, one with the reply box, one with the thread, read & update as i go, then submit at the end
I read the book up to the training plans were then began my adapted for my August half IM plan, still got some of the book to finish off.
SD
that's a good plan ... never thought about that. OK, I am going to read the book as long as I can cope (its really interesting already) and see... Now, which programme to follow... probably the 'just get around' ...?
Thinking being if i train that bit harder i will find the day a bit more enjoyable.
Full

Will swim it off tomorrow
My second wedding was probably the best of mine
Liking the sound of IronDog
gastank,
I would go for outlaw as it appears the best value for money + being my first one I like the sound of 'flat and fast' ... BTW where is it held?
Razor51
I see what you mean and I understand more now having started the book - thank you
Holgs,
brilliant pictures there!
All just took me an hour to catch up the weekends events... have missed anythin else...?
evrybody gone to bed...?
sounds like a plan.... jeez it's after 10 pm already working really interferes with my forum time!
which you will of course pass on to us, being our mentor!
Good going Razor, personally I was looking forward to you swimming with the cast on!
and don't forget you've got us to coach and mentor next year.... bet that excites you!
I thought so, might have to go a bit faster on Sunday though or i won't make cut off
hope you're not referring to me Muckee...
OWS to look forward to tomorrow. A sunny 22 degrees & little wind so should be one of my nicest open water swims yet
