I think I'll go for the cages and work my way from there!
your helmet should come between you and the ground....... helmet!!!!
Just as a thought if you are using SPD's you could also open the locking part of the cleat (on the pedal). Quite wide so that, if you do need to get your foot out of the cleat quickly, then they are not being held so tightly. Should be a grub screw at the back of the pedal.
Yep back to the running club tonight for a session of intervals. Should be interesting after my half at the weekend
It'll all go up again in December.
Scrub that...forgot it's Tuesday, I'll be doing 5 miles on the treadmill when son is at running club.
Just got back from first spin class...ouch. Went to swim training last night as well. All a bit of a shock after sitting on my *rse for three weeks, but I've got a dress to fit into by Saturday!
So....Pilates tomorrow, Body Pump thurs or Fri....
Still no running, the swelling on my foor seems to have taken up permanent residence....but maybe that's cos I ran a marathon on it.....hmmmmmm........!
That means I'll have run about 20 miles IN TOTAL in the 4 weeks in between my 2 marathons.I've been to the gym a few times but not sure if I've cut the running back too far or done the right thing in just keeping my general fitness levels up.
Any advice folks ?
DTB - what's spinning like? I'm tempted as it's supposed to be fun (but tough).
GFB - can't believe you're starting a training schedule at start of Dec. Already! Before Christmas! Wow!According to Paula in this month's RW mag, she takes a complete hol for 2 weeks every year - no running at all. Point was made in article that lots of recreational runners don't take a break at all and prob'y suffer for it. I just can't imagine doing nothing and letting it all slide.
I honestly feel like such a slacker! It's because for the last year I've been on either a marathon schedule or the couple of weeks in between and presently am on the inbetweeny bit!
(Besides, I think PR runs twice a day so she probably can afford to take a fortnight off!)
i cheated and wore padded shorts so my behind lives to wiggle another day :-)
Anyway, it all came out fine apart from the front in the middle where I got distracted and I cut a slit through the top just below the neck hem....
:-( boooooo hoooooooo!
I know it won't last so long now, but anyone have any ideas how I can repair it so I can at least use it a bit?
it's that clima cool material. was thinking maybe clear nail polish to stop the hole enlarging, them some attempt at darning it!
can't believe it - I normally get running tops for peanuts in TK Maxx, and finally I buy one at full whack, and then I mess it up before i even wear it once! grrrrrrrrrrrr!
Mr H, you're a fabric expert - is there some glue I can use on 91% nylon, 9% elastane?
Now, I have to confess to being better at the socialising this year than the running (although I did manage Prague and Connemara, so not all bad) - But with all teh upheaval going on, I have a hell of a lot of work to do to get fit for 2007.
I've entered Connemara, would love to run Cork in June, and have been invited to the US between those two marathons for the Flying Pig Marathon in Cincinatti - If I have any energy left, I will try and drag myself around Dublin - or maybe I will head to New York for that one a week later. Either way, I'll be around the City anyway.
All I have to do now, is start running properly. 200 lbs and counting DOWN !!!!!
off to bed in a huff - note to self - do not buy self any nice things cos she just ruins them :-(
Hi Liam, hope all is well with you, sorry about the rant, just depressed at messing up the special souvenir I treated myself to!
Hope you're able to salvage it!! ;o)
found some gunk on the net called Fray Stop, is only a couple of quid, so ordering that, and will then try and sew it up around the gunk. shouldn't be a problem with chafing as I have a sports bra underneath. Might last a few washes in a delicates net bag.....
sigh....you finally find a flattering running top.....maybe I could claim I'm going for the eighties slashed aesthetic?
off to bed now, pilates in the morning. although, if I'm still annoyed about the top, might do Body Pump instead as self-punishment....
Could someone do me a favour?
I am after the 3:15 schedule off this site, but you can only get it if you pay the subs (ok, being a cheapstake and don't want to pay)!! Could some down load a copy and mail it to me????? Pleassssssssse.
I have the sub 3:30 one and just want to compare them and see if I can really take it on, and go for a really fast marathon time in Saville.
Thank you
Anyone in here today?
