Weights bore me to shit now Also I've never wanted to be hench or whatever - just want to never have a gut and be reasonably healthy. Basically I just always want to look like one of The Replacements or The Dead Boys which is more difficult in your mid 40s! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I also work at a desk all day so going out for a run is good - so many of my colleagues have said since working from home you can work for 8 till 8/9 and you look up and you've not been out of those in two/three days. Gym doesn't really help after the busy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse still, I went over on my ankle half way though the trip, so have a tennis ball on the side of my foot! Managed to walk ok and have done a few spin sessions since. Just need the fucker to heal very very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking like a stress fracture to the shin to add to everything else. 🙄 Wow! I finished with a severe pain at base of my shin - a new pain for me. Still not gone. Coincidentally the same leg/ankle that I’ve since gone over on. Good luck with the rehab. Edited February 21 by Smiley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbulb Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Well done. 4:33 is not too shabby at all. A minute in front of a lad from our club who is decent. I had a word with Hopey at the start, first time I've seen him in a while btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Faustus Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Anyone done an ultra marathon? Can you walk these things, or still have to be at pace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most tend to walk/run There'll be cut off times at various checkpoints, I'd imagine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not in Crawley Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 The problem with marathons for me is comitting the training time. Just can't be bothered. with a nice half marathon, but can still do decent training without it taking over your life, and you're finished within the morning to actually enjoy the day out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
