Delhi Marathon is week before I go there in March. Might have entertained it!

[Zico]

Having been to India I can only envisage a marathon on roads with massive pot holes everywhere, folk zipping round on motorbikes zig zaging in between runners, and cows that just stand there in the way

He did an ultra out there a few years back. Not  right is he. Doing well for  a 56 year old grandad though

Psoas muscle convert here too.

Had abdominal pain from a sprint workout sustained in August.

Pain wasn't going away. Saw GP, had ultrasound in October. Hernia ruled out.

Carried on resting, told to use Voltaren! 

Every time I ran same soreness.

Anyway saw Gonzos post, researched some stretches. Carried out before and after runs, world of difference.

Tried a zone 2 run yesterday. Ran much slower than normal - flat roads, no elevation. Heart rate needed to be between 108-126. Averaged 138 over the 13+ miles. 
I would have to walk I think to get into zone 2. 
Will try again soon.

As for weight loss. Had ballooned well over 13 stone end of the year. Weighed in at 13at 4.6lbs on 12 January. 
Weighed in at 12st 5.2lbs this morning. 
Still not drank since 13 Jan.

How's your prep for the Amble going? I am nowhere near. Did a 15 mile route which included chunks of the course and it was tough and bloody painful.

Whilst in benidorm me and MrsD walked from hotel to far end of Pontiente Beach then to far end of Levante Beach then back to hotel. Legs were fucked after

Still not really put any effort in and not changed the drinking habits

I fear at 210 its going to need exercise but i feel 14 stone is achievable

[Big E]

Still very much overweight and my sugar is a bit high however finally made it back running tonight and touch wood my back has held up. Hopefully it will last tomorrow ready for spin 

[Not in Crawley]

Now a bloody stomach bug - almost Paula Radcliffed on my run on Monday.

[fishbulb]

Good that you are following through with the training though...

[Not in Crawley]

6k this morning and just done the gym.

Still don't get/enjoy weights but helps with the running it seems. Tried one of those skiing machines tonight - could quite get into that.

Weights burn calories while you sleep.

Running doesnt.

Just prefer cardio. Do like doing my kettlebells though.
