When you just feel so much fitter and faster and you can tell all the training is paying off, before tonight my quickest 6 mile was 59m 55s tonight i did it in 56m 48s so knocked 3 mins off it.

Theres 4 or 5 hills in my route bet i could knock a few more mins off that if it was all flat but the hills give you a better run.

Well done mate.

I done about 4 miles tonight in around 35 mins. Was rock hard to start with (wasn't in the mood) but once you get a rhythm goin it sorts itself out. Don't think i am pushing myself enough tho as it was an easy route.

3.6k for me, in 30 minutes

Felt easier than at the start of the week though.

Haven't run in the last 2 days because my foots been a bit funny after a run on monday. Was spinning yesterday and played footy today though, so not all bad.

Finally found my rhythm and proper breathing on the rowing machine tonight. Makes a big difference. Carried on for a lot longer than usual.

At the moment I am doing my running on the treadmill, is it easier on them or what ?

I think it's loads easier tbh. You can almost skip on a treadmill and i've definitely found i'm less knackered doin 5 miles on a treadmill as opposed to out on the streets. Just my opinion like.

treadmills are easier.

safc_graeme · 31st May 2012, 09:24 AM

Like already said treadmills are easier, but they're also a lot better for your knees. Maybe step up the pace on the treadmill a bit as some sort of compromise?

To be honest though, when training for the great north run last year, I did a lot of treadmill work to start with, then when I knew I could run 10k I got out on the roads. Now I never run if it's not out on the road
