Hiya Pocabella!!!
Do you know what I seriously think it's since I quit smoking that I could even run that far! I wasn't even puffed out after it today, but my legs were killing me from the weights session in the gym a few days before.
You're doing really well, I've a lot to catch up!!
Fingers crossed for nice weather Saturday!
See you then

Went out for a group run with the fellow boards runners.
We did the top part of the mountain again today.
It went so much better then the last time I went there.
We jogged a mile down the road, I just walked for about 10 seconds once. Fitness really is improving!
Walked most of the mountain climb, managed to jog a little bit during the flat bits.
Ran around the Cairn & down the whole decent to the car park.
Thanks to Hail 2 da chimp & T runner for the motivation to get me through the tough parts!
Didn't need a piggy back either!! :cool:0 -
I've decided to enter a 3K race this week, this will be my 1st ever race!
So I just decided to run the course instead of sticking to my training plan.
I wanted to run as much of it as I could without stopping and I didn't do too bad! only had to walk for 5-10 seconds 3 times
We ran approx 4 miles in 40 mins and at the end I threw in a massive hill again, just for the craic 0 -

Well, got my first race finished! Don't know the time yet, they're emailing everyone in a couple of days. I would say about 15-20 mins for the 3km (I hope!)
It was p*ssing rain, got soaked & cross country too, so really mucky!
I was hoping to run the whole thing, but was forced to walk about 3 times as my dinner was trying to make an exit!
Felt great with the run apart from the food lying in my belly, bit dissapointed with the walking thing, but it was necessary, I think I could have ran the whole thing.
This is 5 days of running in 6 days! Think I need a day off & a big night out 0 -

Well done you! You're doing great.
Did you find the mucky race a laugh? I think I must be crazy because the muddier I get the more fun it is.
Aww thank you!

How long would be recommended to stretch before goin for a run? And would ya notice a difference if ya drank a good bit of water/stayed away from junk food the hours before goin for a run? Sorry if these are stupid questions, was just wonderin!:pac:
I find a good 5 minutes to stretch overall is enough for me, but others need a bit longer. Holding each stretch for at least 15 seconds. I repeat it a few times.
Would you notice a difference in what? Not sure if I know what you mean?
I can't drink a whole lot in the half hour before I exercise because I'll get a stitch, and you're better off not eating too much junk food, eat plenty of rice & pasta instead 0 -
