heyho Side by side cyclists on the cut is a big no no. Cunts.

Anchor And on roads, too. Even I remember that from my highway code when I did a lot of cycling.

90Piesanhour

Managed another half marathon today in 01:56:26. Pleased with that.

90Piesanhour

5.64 miles in 49:09 at a new personal record pace of 08:42 per mile tonight. When I first started I was averaging 09:05 per mile. Blimey.

Back on it. Couple of short ones. No ill effects. First outing for the new shoes tonight. Fingers crossed I can get back to some longer ones.

Anchor

Travis_Bickle You been crock Trav? I've rested my calf for six week next monday and going to try again. Just kept going everytime I ran.

Considering getting some of those calf sock things - which I am not keeen on as i'll look like a cunt - but if it means I can run then all good.

I have been hitting the bike and as much as I like it I just don't get that level of fucked up that running gives you.

90Piesanhour

Well, as the young people say, I 'smashed it' tonight. Ran 5.53 miles in 47mins 57secs at a pace of 08:40 per mile. Never thought I would see the day.

Anchor

90Piesanhour Boom! That is ace pies - aspirations - getting under 9 min miles for anything would be cool.

Anchor achilles was fucked. Basically, my back in knackered (disc) and it impacts on everything else. Decent shoes help but I'm resigned to living with some discomfort. I figure that as long as I'm careful the benefit in terms of health and keeping the weight off is worth the odd niggle.

Anchor I'm now starting to amaze myself, to be honest. Just over 3 years ago and I hadn't even considered running in any form, and now I'm breaking my own records. As I've said before, it's really to maintain cardio fitness for TKD, but is now developing in to something that I actually quite enjoy. I do like having to push myself, which becomes more of an issue as you head towards 60 (57 next month!). Nice to hear you're still putting in the miles, too.

Anchor

Travis_Bickle Yes - you mentioned back issues. Mine is almoast constantly in pain of some description so figuring my issues stem from there. I firmly believe it is the amount of sitting I have done the last 18 months.

All my groups are back onsite from 4th May so last six weeks will be back to full on teaching and can eff teams off.

Travis_Bickle Have you considered yoga, or other martial arts? They focus a lot on stretching, core strength, flexibility and trying to warm up all muscle groups to keep injuries to a minimum. I don't think I would be running without the martial arts, or vice-versa, to be honest. Back problems are something I haven't suffered from very much, which I think is down to the martial arts stuff, but I don't want to jinx it.

Travis_Bickle

90Piesanhour I have Pilates stuff my physio has given me. It's getting around to doing them regularly.....

90Piesanhour

Heavens above. Quick 5.64 mile run in the pissing rain in 48 mins 23 secs at a pace of, wait for it, 08:34 a mile! This is getting silly, now. 😃

Anchor

Tested my calf on Sunday afternoon with a four mile walk/Run wearing my compression socks after a seven week lay off - all went well - will try again next week with a full run.

Anchor

Ran 2.5 miles last nigt at 9 min miles. Did not stop and calf fine. Undsure if the twinge was in my mind or not but no adverse affects.

Plan on a gentle re introduction on a week by week basis but a view to running at least a 10 miler by the end of the summer.

Anchor

4.5 tonight. Pain free.

I look like a twat but they seem to be working!

Jon

Give it up lads, get a hot bath.

90Piesanhour

Might try a 10-13 miler today, as the weather has improved markedly.

90Piesanhour

Managed 13.8 miles in 02:02:33 today. Slightly disappointing pace of 08:52 per mile, but it was warm and muggy (for a change!). More interested in completing it rather than completing it fast, so I'm happy enough with that for a man in his late 50s!
