Running Thread 2015



Right here's the dilemma, doing the GNR in a little over 2 months and to be honest im in not good shape, was hoping to have my fitness levels right up by now after embarking on a fitness crusade in March, which fell at the 1st hurdle as I then got 3 months work in US, and didnt keep it up, anyway I done the Park Run yesterday which was a struggle so thats an indication of my fitness levels, so should I now try & get out for some sort of run every day or go 3 or 4 times a week & progressively build up the distance, or something else?

Entered the Washington 10K trail and it came up that I'll be a V40 as it's after my birthday. Was gutted :(

Best of luck to everyone running in the Gateshead 10K this morning. Just hung the washing out and it's warm out there already. Drink plenty of water!

Hope u enjoy washy i'm undecided on weather to enter. Think there are a few in same week or so. Is warm in gateshead but no warmer than the last week so anyone who runs regular should b ok. Fast course this one. Gotta get round quick as car park shuts early :eek:
 
Just seen someone running it dressed in a plastic Storm Trooper costume :eek:

He's in the wave behind me. If I get overtaken by a Storm Trooper I think I will cry :lol:

He was parked next to me on Bede school field. Saw you pulling in there but decided that distracting a driver in a crowded car park wasn't the best idea so I didn't shout or wave.

Saw him going the other way when I was nearly back to the Swing Bridge so he didn't catch me :lol:

Ran it in 1 hour 7 minutes. Really pleased with that and I ran all the way up that horrible hill just before 9K. Could hardly walk at the top but I did it :D

Ran past the photographer doing 5 in a row hand signs and he was grinning like mad. I think he was one of us :lol:

Cant blame u for that. Wsd knackered til I got water. Didn't think heat would get to me but I over hydrated before start. 2nd half was easier I thought. Spent more time lookin for her in doors at finish than it took to do half of run as she sat in wrong area for meeting. Pleased u were happy with time and hopefully it'll only improve as the year goes on :)

My past PB was 1 hour 10 mins over a year ago. I was really poorly last year and I'm still not 100% well yet. I only started running again March this year, so that's why I am so pleased with my time :D

Drank plenty water yesterday and had an isotonic before bed last night. Had 2 mugs of coffee with breakfast at 7am then a pint of water before I left home. Drank a bottle of water in the starting pen but I was still gasping by the time we got to the water station!
