Running/Jogging/Speed Walking

fulmine good luck. I've done a fair few halves.

I'd also suggest trying to enjoy it and make sure you do a couple of thirteen mile runs before the big day. Think about some hiit training as well to help the core.

fulmine

Anchor Thanks - yeah, I need to think seriously about where I can do a longer run. I’m in Shepherds Bush, so bit limited running the streets of west London (can also quickly get boring), be good to get out in the country or sea air.

fulmine Get to your nearest park, or canal, or move out of stinky old London!

Anchor

fulmine Any canals near you?

fulmine

90Piesanhour Hahaha, a move may well be on the cards actually, but probably not this year…

fulmine

Anchor Paddington’s not too far, thinking about it…

I bashed a five out earlier. Thinking of trying three a week. Mon/we'd/sat. No more than 10k.

It's years since I ran any proper distances but I'd try and find someone to train with.
I used to get bored as hell running long distances.
I went to see a physio as well as the warm up/stretching exercises they suggested probably prevented me getting injured.
And good luck.

fulmine

Mega_Armageddon_Chickens Yeah, the boredom thing’s worrying me a bit. Thanks mate, I’ll keep you all posted!

I like running solo. I have some music on but get lost in thoughts - work things out, come up with ideas for work, think about issues in my life and what not. It is why I do it and love it so much. And hate being injured.

I ran with a club for about ten years and enjoyed the benefits that afforded but still prefer solo.

Get a fancy dress outfit and shuffle round slowly.

Long run? Take music. My iPod shuffle has died and I've just got a new MP3 player that I'm hoping to get ready for Park Run tomorrow. I can run miles with music on.

Anchor

90Piesanhour My iPod shuffle is hanging in. The only laptop I have with iTunes on is in a worse state though.

Park run. Well happy!

No park run today as I get over the chest infection. I fell over for the first time last week, negotiating a tricky bend on wet leaves, did a number on my right knee and gave myself a bit of a dead leg in the process. Hoping to try again next Saturday, but I'll be slowwwwweeer than ever. Still, it's the taking part that counts.

Anchor

Another park run.

Was great. Laps of a running track, the cut and some woods.
