Neefie Noodle Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Well I ran well yesterday. I was an "A" runner and got paired up with a junior runner and we completed the 2 mile run in 15 mins. i did most of the running as my legs were taller than my partner. Followed that by taking a dip in the North Sea. Being in the water is not as bad as it sounds. It was warmer in the water than out of it. Next up tonight 800m efforts. As an Xmas present the wife bought me entry into the Edinbourgh Half Marathon in May. Looks like i'll have to put in some miles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reina Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Great race Neefie - I really enjoyed it last year. I'm considering it this year again depending on the job situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kejan Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) Hoping to brave the winds tomorrow and go out . Not been out for a week and after 6 days of booze, chocolate oranges, roses, turkey, dominos pizza - think I will be breathing out of my arse come the chorus in the first song on the playlist.

Reina Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Great North Run ballot is open if anyone fancies giving it a shot: Link I've entered, but not particularly hopeful! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neefie Noodle Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Great North Run ballot is open if anyone fancies giving it a shot: Link I've entered, but not particularly hopeful! I'm bound to get offered an entry so I will not bother with the ballot. Had 2 really intense sessions this week. Tuesday was a pyramid session going hard up the hill and easy down the hill. Then we reversed it running easy up the hill and hard down the hill. Tonight we did a Fartlek type session. Setting off at a normal pace then had 2 areas that we had to run hard on, then another area that we had to run hard up a short steep hill, followed by a hard lap round the running track. Managed 4 of them tonight. The overall lap was over a mile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundermonkey Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 I still haven't ran since the half marathon in Glasgow Hoping to get out over the weekend and kickstart my year of 10K improvement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reina Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I've got a 5k on Sunday in Elgin. I haven't run for ages due to the tonsillitis though. I might do it and just take it easy. Or I might just not bother... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Burton Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I went to the Parkrun on 4th Dec and then didnt run again until New Years Day. Its amazing how much fitness I've lost in only 4 weeks. Really struggled to get motivated to go out running during Dec the weather was horrible and I can see it being the same in Jan. Am going to start going out running during my lunch break to try some different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShakehandsTom - DFC Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Toward the tail-end of last year, I started running home from work (southside to town) which is just under 10k. Times have ranged between 58 mins (worst, and first attempt) and 47mins (best so far). I really enjoy it and I'm going to be running the Men's 10k in June, and my target is sub-45mins. I'm trying lose a bit of weight and tone-up, so hopefully running will help me achieve that, as well as it being great training for the Men's 10k! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neefie Noodle Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Passed my UK Athletics Coaching Course today. Passed an exam. Had to do 2 practical sessions. Then I had to be an"athlete", so I have done 8 sessions today totalling about 4 hours of training. No wonder I hurt like a MF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
