Thundermonkey Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 I stood on a plank of wood with a nail through it that sunk deep into my heel on Saturday so any thought of running's gone right out the window. The prospect of a marathon place and the renewed interest in the Nike+ stuff should get me back out running as soon as it's healed up though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundermonkey Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) fook! It didn't hurt until I looked down. I was faced with the decision of sitting at Stirling A&E or sitting at TFS. Either way I was going to end up miserable Edit: My spelling is dreadful today. Edited May 4, 2010 by Thundermonkey 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I've signed up for a 10k race in September, my first ever 10k race! It's the Moray Marathon one. Nice one! I'll be doing the Stirling 10K this September. It's quite a flat course, I did it in 2008. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Napolean Dynamite Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Nice one! I'll be doing the Stirling 10K this September. It's quite a flat course, I did it in 2008. that sounds quite good. I'm going to be doing the black rock run next month. As long as I cope ok I'm hoping to get stuck into a couple of 10k runs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reina Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I'm hoping to build up to half-marathons next year. That's the plan anyway! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kejan Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Anyone on here do the Bleep test often, or at all? My brother gave me a download of it and went out earlier tonight, and I did it twice - First time I score 10.7 and second time was 10.1. What's a good score to be getting on this? Is it a good break away from HIIT? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud131 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Went out for a run when I got home from work there, start of my new fitness regime (just hope this one lasts). 2 miles in 19 miles, didnt think this was too bad fr my first time running in a while. Also used my Nokia sports tracker which is similar to the Nike iPod thing, think anyone with a Nokia phone that has GPS can download it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud131 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 (edited) Just done another 2 miles there....I think I'm turning into some sort of human running machine (but with a 2 mile limit) Edited May 7, 2010 by spud131 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Is that my @rse? Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Anyone on here do the Bleep test often, or at all?

Is it a good break away from HIIT? Level 10 Shuttle 1 should be about 47 VO2 max (the volume of oxygen you can consume while exercising at your maximum capacity) which is what it's actually measuring in relation to your fitness. Go to http://phoenixmartialarts.tripod.com/id19.html to check the level you want to be at for your age, fitness level, etc. Might give you something to work towards. However, just make sure you're actually running the correct distance measured out or you will be getting inaccurate results. I wouldn't necessarily use the bleep test as part of your programme, it's great for fitness obviously, but it's probably more effective used as an every-so-often measurement of your progress. If you use it too often you might become disengaged and lose your performance. It's hella boring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you can't. Fat loss occurs where your genetics say it will occur - you can't spot-reduce fat in a particular area of your body. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reina Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 4 miles down this morning. Has anyone got any tips for running into the wind - my 2 miles out were great - turned around to come back into the wind to get home again and struggled the whole way. I struggled to breathe which is really no use for running!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamonds2002 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Cumbernauld 10k in September anyone? Missed it last year but looking to get back in the swings of things soon I did this 2 years ago - decent enough course (although pretty bleak surrounding for some of it) - one gripe about it was they piped in the north lanarhshire provost - Tom Curley - which held up the start and was a bit of a waste of money! Too close to the Glasgow 1/2 for me this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just a case of close your eyes and hope for the best (I find the eyes watering more of a problem than the breathing). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
