Ran my first run since returning from holiday this morning, only 5km (but then my normal top distance, at the moment, is 7.5km) but absolutely knackered. Didn't help that it started sleeting half way through!!!

13 miles in 2 hours yesterday, not sure how I will get up to matathon distance. Just try and add a couple of miles a month I suppose, easy as that:lol:

Forgot to vaseline yesterday around the groin:oops: I need more suitable underwear I think..



:lol::lol: sorry.

Is it not best to rest the day after a long run?

Find a good training plan mara. Trust it and stick to it. It seems to be the shorter speed runs that help the endurance more than the long runs if that makes sense.

Running pants are essential IMO. An abraded perineum taught me that.

The bit between your bum and balls.

I have been using one from the London Marathon magazine. It is aimed at lazy bastards who just want to get round and don't care too much about their time.

The medical term for that is 'barse' - the bit between balls and arse.

Will look up that lazy bastard one, sounds perfect!

Don't think so. It's an app on my blackberry. Thinking of getting a Garmin. Fancy the 310xt. Hows your 110?

Does everything I need and very simple, very accurarate and locks on fairly quickly. For less than £100 (without HRM) it's a bargain. Apart from time, HR, pace, speed, KM/Miles, laps what else do you need?
 
Did about 13 miles today, with a hill session thrown in at about 10 miles for good measure. Unfortunately the hil is on the route of my marathon in 5 weeks :cry:

Felt a lot better today than I have done for a couple of weeks. Pain in my knee virtually gone.

22-ish miles next weekend will be my longest before the marathon. Bring it on.
 
Just started running with a running club - pretty much all over-40s. And they talk about running LOTS. Shoes, gear, events, training, distances. But they NEVER, EVER talk about times and PBs. Is it a bit like talking about how much you earn? Are you considered a show-off if you do?

No probs, mate. By the way, looks like we would be neck and neck in a race! 1hr25 for 11.3 and 1hr38 for 13.1 are pretty close. You training for anything?
