Ur Not Going To Do Much Sitting There

DU.LLAHAN

Ur Not Going To Do Much Sitting There is going to be my motto for the next year while i get into this running lark.

I havent ran in 2 years, i did the 10k bupa run in 2007 whislt i was 14 stone with no training just a bit of football twice a week in a time of 61 mins a time i was happy with at the time. so i want to do the bupa run in a time of sub 50 mins if i can. altough i am 15 stone 10 i think with training and eating healthy i can do that time and lose some weight.

I am goin to start tomorrow in the gym ease my way back into it. I am aiming to something like the couch to 5 k then http://www.halhigdon.com/10ktraining/10knovice.htm Then i hope to do the warriors run in august. Thats the plan anyway at the min.

Good luck with it, and welcome to the logs

If you're planning on doing the Great Ireland Run in April, it might be worth doing the MSB St Patrick's festival 5k in March, a good race and it will give you a decent indicator of how you're set for the 10k.

Yeah thanks for that I'll probably will do this.

Today
I had my first gym session today and survived. I intended to do 60 secs run recover 90 to that 6 times i was trying to follow the couch to 5k training plan but instead i did 2 mins running 100 secs recovery on a 0.5% grad at speed 8 i did this for 21 mins. the reason for the 2 mins was that i didnt look down sooner simple as that. i enjoyed it though its going to be a tough year

Christmas is over time to hit the gym for the next 7 weeks then it will be out onto the road for the 10k training, i have decided to incorporate cycling into my plan to help me train because hopefully this will reduce the risk of getting injurys and also i have heard that cycling helps with running, i'm guessing its with the cardio aspect of it.

Well it didnt go the way i wanted it to, i was meant to start in 1 jan but became awful busy (poor excuse i know) but got to the gym today.I did warmup and stretchs then i did 40 min on the treadmill doing 6 mins at 8.7 km/h and then resting for 2 mins at 3.0 km/h i did five of these and it was just over the 40 mins mark. Then i went on to the crossramp for 20 mins then cooldown, stretched and went home.

On monday i started the 100 push up challange day one and have been sore since workin muscles that dont get much use will do that ta ya. i will start day one tommorrow again and hopefully it wont be as sore afterwards
