Not in Crawley Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 Saw that - bloody impressive. Anyway, signed up to my first half marathon in Richmond in sept. Nice and flat around Richmond park and Kew Gardens. Things going ok, done a couple of ten miles, slow time at around 1hr 50, but just looking to finish on my first one... Any training tips from the more experienced, and on the day tips most welcome. Quote

Casino Posted April 25, 2017 Author Posted April 25, 2017 Got my 10km a week on Sunday....gonna be a long day....reckon that gorilla doing the marathon may finish before me Good luck, pinky I'm not ready for that, yet Sure I could get round but I'm not doing one til know I can run the whole way My weight is steady at 14 Might need to stop supping to get the weight loss moving I put 7lbs or so on each weekend then spend the week getting it off Quote
Whites man Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 I put 7lbs or so on each weekend then spend the week getting it off Are you forgetting to take out the pint glasses I see you put in your pockets in pubs at every away game before you weigh yourself or something? That's a lot of weight to put on over a couple of days, are you having a few pints on Fridays before the Park Run? Quote

Hard graft and I am very slow. Hopefully I complete it that's my main aim Quote
Sweep Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 Run 10k in full about 8 times now. Hard graft and I am very slow. Hopefully I complete it that's my main aim Doesn't matter how slow or fast you are, just getting around is an achievement. Keep it up. Quote

The 7lbs is between getting home Friday and Monday morning I do wonder if I'm a little dehydrated during the week And one glass this season A nice erdinger number Pity chesterfield is off the agenda next year Quote

If somebody wanted to bum the placcy Scouser, he'd defo not be speeding up He'd reverse quicker than an eyetie tank Quote

Comparison between 7pm Friday and 7am Monday is not a valid one. Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted April 26, 2017 Posted April 26, 2017 Either way, seven pounds over a weekend is some going. Don't know how that's possible- unless dehydration is indeed an issue. Quote
DazBob Posted April 26, 2017 Posted April 26, 2017 Got my 10km a week on Sunday....gonna be a long day....reckon that gorilla doing the marathon may finish before me ???????????? I've not done more than 5km in one go yet. If you beat me in a sprint finish I'm never running again. Quote
MalcolmW Posted April 26, 2017 Posted April 26, 2017 I've not done more than 5km in one go yet. If you beat me in a sprint finish I'm never running again. Never say never. Quote

L/H White Posted April 26, 2017 Posted April 26, 2017 knocked a minute off my mile time last night getting near to where i was 2 years ago again now might book a 10k soon Quote
tarian1979 Posted April 26, 2017 Posted April 26, 2017 21 23 best 5k. Did a 13 21 2 like other day. Need to try hold that speed over the extra mile and a bit in quest break 21 mins. Knees and shins dont feel ideal for this running like Quote
Big E Posted April 26, 2017 Posted April 26, 2017 I've not done more than 5km in one go yet. If you beat me in a sprint finish I'm never running again. I am thinking you have to run with me all the way round.....you are only as strong as your weakest link Quote
mannyroad58 Posted April 26, 2017 Posted April 26, 2017 I wonder what full kit Pinky will be wearing when he runs his 10K Quote
Sweep Posted April 26, 2017 Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) I am thinking you have to run with me all the way round.....you are only as strong as your weakest link Dazbob told me he was going to give you a piggyback if you felt knackered at any point Edited April 26, 2017 by Sweep Quote
DirtySanchez Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Triathlon for me this Sunday Start time means I'll miss the match (shit fan). Thought we would have either sewn it up or fucked it up when I entered Might make it down to pub for second half if I can still walk Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 That's unfortunate- how long does it take you to complete one? At least ale has some isotonic properties. Quote

Thought we would have either sewn it up or fucked it up when I entered Might make it down to pub for second half if I can still walk Horwich Tri I assume, good luck. Little Henri's and my club Tri- Rivington are having a piss up on the back off it staring at the Crown 7:30, will may go straight through after the game. Quote
only1swanny Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 tempted to do another 10k, or a half, give myself the motivation.. I'm now tipping the scales at 19.5 stone.. Body fat has come down massively to 28% from 36% (when i was 18 stone).. I'm having issues with energy levels and stamina when training, if i can manage 10k i'll be happy, no time limit for the half just go out and do it Quote

That's the one Did the cycling as part of a relay last year so know all about that and done it a few times since Using the swim as a warm up given the amount of time you get though it's the uphill run that's a killer Never done a triathlon before. Individually can do each but putting them all together is a brave new world! Quote
