Reina Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Yup agree with boghead ranter. Compared to you lot, I am most definitely a plodder. But I'm still lapping people sitting on their fat arses on the couch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

young_bairn Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Not sure what a plodder is but I find it hard to run long distances slow. Just ran 13km just under an hour on the treadmill. I will need to run slower to build for a half marathon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 My first 10k on Sunday with the baxters 10k in Inverness. I'm hoping to do it in sub-55 mins. The course looks pretty easy going by the route and it's profile. The forecast is sunny and no wind. Wind is a fucking killer when running. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reina Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I'm doing that too, Scarf. I think it could be quite crowded to start with, which will make getting a quick time fairly difficult. I'm hoping for sub-55 mins, too, but wont be too disappointed if I don't get it due to the numbers taking part. I hope it's not too hot on Sunday! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather run in a fucking downpour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundermonkey Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 I just read that on Facebook. It really an appalling decision. It's one of the very greatest sporting achievements of all time in any sports. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neefie Noodle Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Good Luck to all those running at Loch Ness this weekend. Remember to pace it from the start and not get carried away with the occasion, or the field. As for the World Records I agree with the case that a World Record is a World Record regardless of who you are running with or against. The athlete will still have to run that time. Done 2 hills sessions this week. First one was a basic up and down as quick as possible. Second one was a run, then up the hill hard, round a marker, back down the hill hard and then easy back to the start. 25 mins continous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 What do you all think of this? To me that's no different to any athlete that sets a record using a pacemaker or pacemakers. Indeed Radcliffe's record is more honestly achieved, the men in the race weren't only in the race to get her along at WR pace, unlike the way a lot of track WR's are set. Now, I must go and knock back Usain's texts again, I keep telling him I'm not gonna pull him along to my sprinting pace.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reina Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 What annoys me most about the world record thing is that the reason she used male pacemakers was because NO WOMAN was capable of leading her to set the pace! Just ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kejan Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Just did about 8k in the rain there. Fantastic! Soaked right through, passing steamers on their way to getting drunk probably thinking I'm insane running in the bucket rain but god I love running in the rain! The sereotonin must be released right now! Woooo.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Just got my official time there for the Baxters 10k this morning. 53.30. Not too bad for the first one I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
