Reina Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Nice one! (I’m female btw) I’m still taking it easy after injury but did a couple of mile efforts on Wed and they weren’t too painful so hopefully start getting my speed back once I get this Runuary nonsense out the way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reina Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Nothing to apologise for, it’s a reasonable assumption to make 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Well done Reina Had to send my new Brooks back as they were killing my feet even though I only wore them around the house for a couple of hours. Running the following morning in my old trainers probably didn't help - ankle is still agony! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ghost 8's are available for less than £60 just now on sportsshoes if you fancy sticking with what you know. I'm now the proud owner of some Hoka Arahi shoes in addition to the Guide 10s I picked up through the week. My old shoes are relegated to trainer status at last, after way too many miles... Day 13 of the January challenge conquered with my quickest parkrun in yonks. Plan's for an easy 10 miles tomorrow to build up the distance gradually ahead of London. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Material is completely different to the Ghosts which may be the reason I had problems. I found some Ghost 8s on eBay for just over £60 (the sportsshoes ones are the wrong size) so hopefully they'll be OK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reina Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Just over 23 miles for this week. Very pleased with that. It’s also becoming less of a thought to get my kit on and go, if that makes sense. Definitely getting back into the routine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiemunster Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Good on you Reina, like you I am starting to get back into a good routine where running isn't really a thought. Another 10 miler in the bag today, takes me up to 41 miles for 2018 so far, only 951 to go. Ooft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-r-cfc Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 First run in almost 3 months on Friday! Have hardly exercised at all since I started my first placement so need to find a better balance this year.Was tight for time and in my lega so just managed 3.5k to get myself back into things. See how I go from here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Instead of time, went for a traditional 5k. Took me just over 26 minutes, a far cry from my sub 23 9 months or so ago.Worse still, trying out the Bluetooth earphones and they kept falling out, fucking hate them. Also ran my TomTom in demo mode so it didn't register my run. Fucking lousy day 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I might shop for better ones, the sticky in nib style never sit for me, prefer the rounder type. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with mine is they cut out far to easy. The battery life also isn’t the greatest 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netan Sansara Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I got a pair of Taotronics cheap ish earphones and they do the job, first time I’ve ever really actively listened to music/podcasts while running and quite enjoying it. 7 miles in the rain for me tonight, felt really good. Longest run I’ve done for a fair while as well. Takes me to 20 odd miles for the year which I’m happy with considering how the weathers been on the west coast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Would really love to visit the world's tallest bridge at Millau in France. And I've just found out there is a race over it ... looks like it's just over HM difference which is fine by me, although it is somewhat hilly as one would expect. Anyone here done it? Some folk are saying it's balloted, but on the other hand, it seems I can register nae bother. https://www.course-eiffage-viaducdemillau.org/race-pictures/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reina Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Wow, looks amazing! Don't fancy the climb up to the bridge much though! You'd need a doc's certificate for a race in France. They're pretty strict about it I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the bridge is a bit of a steep one but at least it's at the start, and I'm sure the views are something else once you're up. And like the Kingston Bridge, it's the only time of year where you get to walk (well, run) over the bridge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
