deane koontz Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Anybody here tried these diets ? Quote
Moderators Casino Posted February 19, 2017 Author Moderators Posted February 19, 2017 Reet, this 5k I've lumbered myself with I'm getting through about 4k now on couch 2 5k - just finished week 6 Do I need to be running over 5k before I take a park run on? Also, as it's while I'm usually in bed, can I eat a bowl of cereal an hour before? Quote
birch-chorley Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 You could tackle a park run from scratch, no need to build up Hundreds take part each week (thousands on some of them) with a wide range of abilities from lads at the front doing sub 20minutes to old timers at the back at a brisk walking pace. A fella on the cuerden park one tips up with a double pram every week, he's still got a reasonable pace to be fair to him Quote
Moderators Casino Posted February 19, 2017 Author Moderators Posted February 19, 2017 OK, cheers What about the eating, any thoughts Quote
Whites man Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Reet, this 5k I've lumbered myself with I'm getting through about 4k now on couch 2 5k - just finished week 6 Do I need to be running over 5k before I take a park run on? Also, as it's while I'm usually in bed, can I eat a bowl of cereal an hour before? There's no need to run the full distance prior to the day for any event. "The occasion" and having people around to pace you makes the run different and I find easier than the training. If you are doing Bolton Park Run practise a couple of hill runs so it is not a shock on the day. And no problem in having your cocoa pops an hour before. Quote
Moderators Casino Posted February 19, 2017 Author Moderators Posted February 19, 2017 Aye, I've got a nice little route that has some gradual climbs but pretty flattish I'll test myself by the red bridge and nab gate, this week I did think being able to run with other coffin dodgers would drag me round Can't do this Saturday, so week on Saturday it is Quote

Try and up the ante? If possible give yourself a calorie target in your gym session? 500/600 in 45 then try and shorten the time. Keep setting yourself goals or you'll naturally find a comfortable level find yourself sticking to that. Quote
no balls Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Going on the 5;2 has given my body the jolt it needed to get back in the swing of losing weight again as I'd proper slowed down. My 5 days are still only a 1000-1200 though. It's sad though some the creative things you have to do to only have 500 calories and not be starving on the 2 days. Quote

Yeah I know I can run further Gone up 0.5m during the week last time out and will prob stick with thst route for a bit Thinking I need to do a 10k run on a Sunday instead of the gym where I just do 30 mins steady cardio for the sake of it, I'm really only going for the sauna Quote

I tried to close the gap up a long hill, but made no impression. The next week saw the honours list published, including his father. The lad turned out to be the reigning English Schools' under 17 800m champion. Quote
Moderators Casino Posted February 22, 2017 Author Moderators Posted February 22, 2017 What's the Red Bridge 5k route love? I started at Harwood meadows, up to top of sml, quick left then right and around that first cul de sac then back to baci and onwards down and up the dip Turn right down to red bridge and up other side Right at crossroads back towards mine, but around Dove Dale for the missing yards, back out and home Guess baci to baci Inc dovedale wouldn't be far off or finish at yours giving a nice downhill end Quote
Moderators Carlos Posted February 22, 2017 Moderators Posted February 22, 2017 I'll try it out, thanks. I've done Ainsworth bus stop and back for about 3.5k. Quote
