bgoefc Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 I'm going to start drinking gin. Strange but I've started to imbibe a long cool Gin and slimline tonic with loads of ice and a slice of lime. I find one lasts an hour whereby before I'd have sunk a bottle of white wine in the same time. Quote

madthatter Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 It's a fucker, unless you run to Aimsworth, even then I'm blowing going up the dip either way. I used to run a loop from LL, up to Ainsworth, down by Bmet golf club back onto Bury rd near what was a Bingo hall (used to be sainsburys?) back along and then down to LL again. That run up to Ainsworth was always a killer. Just thinking about it gets me sweating. Quote

Get on't whisky! fook all calories in it and no mixers needed Makes up for the summer when It's all about the cider - that shit puts weight on you just from looking at a pint . . .

Just thinking about it gets me sweating. i once did, note ONCE, from here to crompton way via thicketford brow, on to bury road all the way back to bradley fold road, up to ainsworth, left around arthur lane and back home daftest thing i ever did and didnt run again for two years Quote

Its hilly as fook where I live now. Went out for a run round the block (3 mile or so) when I first got here and was always going up or down a hill. Not much fun and whilst I like to blame my back, which is knackered, I think one of the reasons I've stopped running is because the hills nearly kill me My calf muscle 'popped' about 2 years ago running up one. Could barely walk for 2 weeks and I always warm up and stretch! Must be getting old ha! hence my taking up golf - snort all you want but I walk around 5 miles up and down a valley carrying about 10 kilos. They reckon you burn about 1500 calories . . .

Once in ainsworth, go past duke William and follow path into Georges wood then past the cottages, up the hill adjacent to the old hospital, down to the bridge, around the lakes and back. Nearly all cross country so kinder. Less pollution so better for you and greener too. You will develop trench foot though. Quote

Moderators Casino Posted February 15, 2017 Author Moderators Posted February 15, 2017 i said 25 minutes, nobody mentioned a mile Quote
birch-chorley Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Just done 7 miles in 58 minutes Still off my race pace but getting there Was blowing out my arse on January 1st having not run for at least a year Dropped a stone as well Progress Quote
Members DazBob Posted February 16, 2017 Members Posted February 16, 2017 14st 8, so 22 pounds gone And today's run 25 minutes Looking good for finding the flattest park run in the country in 5 weeks Worsley is a flat one but it's dull. Heaton Park is a good one, flatter than Bolton and a 'nice' run. I'm doing it this Sat and hoping to get under 22 mins for the first time. I'm sure Malcolm will let you know if I did it. Quote
Traf Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 As someone who can't/won't run, is 22 mins good? My mate did 17 something last week. Quote
Site Supporter Alf Hartigan Posted February 16, 2017 Site Supporter Posted February 16, 2017 22 minutes is very quick indeed for your average runner. 17 summat and your looking at winning depending on quality of field. Quote
