die hard doonhamer Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Yeah there is! P&B Strava Club Get quicker [emoji14] That's at replying, not running. As my strava attests, I cannot tell anyone to get quicker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reina Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Running quicker would also be good, though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Don't know if anyone on here used Bounts, but it was a scheme that got you vouchers in exchange for doing at least 20 minutes of exercise. I was a bit skeptical about the whole thing, but my sister received over £100 worth ... anyway, I'd just walked / ran my way to cashing in £40 worth, when it appears the whole scheme has collapsed and nobody is getting anything else. What a monumental waste of time that was! (Still, I'm probably a bit fitter and thinner than I would have been). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Horrible feeling I've got shinsplints. Felt a pain towards the front bottom of my right leg towards the end of yesterday morning's run. Still isn't going away. What's the best treatment for it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrison Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Your Strava route was impressive morrison! Cross country was superb today, absolutely loved it. I wasn't last! Yay! Thanks! I can't walk properly yet...hopefully soon, doing Southside Six on Sunday!Glad you're enjoying the cross country stuff. Night & day compared to road running, so it's a refreshing change of pace (in every sense). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I luckily was able to cash out about £35 worth of vouchers a few weeks ago and was about to go for another £5 when it was changed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerton Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Thanks! I can't walk properly yet...hopefully soon, doing Southside Six on Sunday! I'm doing this as well. Is it a case of get your number etc on the day? Not heard a thing from them in months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrison Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I haven't done it before, but I imagine so. Bishy will let us know if it's any different I'm sure! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerton Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I haven't done it before, but I imagine so. Bishy will let us know if it's any different I'm sure! It's meant to be quite stop start isn't it? I've never ran more than a half in a race. Got up to just shy of 15 miles in training, but taking it easy this week after picking up a wee ankle knock running up the hills behind Greenock yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenzie Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Everytime I've ran the Southside Six before the race numbers have been picked up before the start in the glasshouse. Hope you like running up a load of steps after 16 miles of punishment! Great race/event, gutted not to be running it this year but also releaved as I would've been setting a personal worst. Every run feels like a comeback at the moment. This sums up my running the past year or so: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reina Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Both of mine are bad at the mo, Kenzie! I see there's been an addition to the Great Run series: Great Aberdeen Run link 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 The problem with Aberdeen is that it won't be filled with exciting landmarks and it looks like it'll be a drag going along the beach. BUT happy that it's finally getting going after a few years of hitting heads against the wall. Must have convinced the council that itll be £££kerching or there'd be no chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorge Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Yeah, I've signed up for the half - it's not the greatest route but I suppose they need to balance the centrepiece of having it start/finish on Union Street against how much chaos they cause with traffic elsewhere (Aberdeen has a road network design barely fit for the 18th Century never mind this one) so they've probably done as good a job as they could. The 10k is very pricey (even more than the Baker!) but the half is fairly reasonable. Actually quite looking forward to it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossi1990 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Good into the London Marathon through the SSPCA. The Mrs does a lot of work with them so thought it was a good idea to raise money for them. Been running a lot since the summer and done a few races. Done the great Scottish half at the start of Oct and got the men's 10k in Edinburgh on Sunday. Hard work begins again in earnest for the running and fundraising. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
true_rover Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Back from Dublin and my first marathon over the weekend. The target was 3:20 and for nearly 20 miles was bang on it. Hadn't really felt any pain until I got to the top of the hill to get to the 20 mile mark when I got cramp in both legs. The remainder of the race was a mix of running a bit, stopping to stretch and then walking for a minute, apart from the last km - knowing that me crossing the line was automatically being posted to Facebook was a great encouragement to cross the line running! - to finish in 3:41.Still pretty happy with getting through it and Dublin is a superb place to run. The crowd support all the way round was incredible - at some parts was so loud that you could barely hear yourself think! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reina Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I've entered the 10k. Bugger it. I'll probably do Aviemore Half Marathon 2017 and this will be a nice race to do during my training. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
