YoungParisian_inExile You noticing the booze?

I'm thinking of radically altering my habits.

YoungParisian_inExile

Anchor Definitely, find it easier to run for longer and the times are coming down. Overall ? much like when I quit smoking ... didnt really notice the difference but I get ill less often and when I do it goes quicker.

I barely drink, but my times aren’t improving. Age is against me and drink only makes it worse. Now that I’m only running twice a week I’ve slipped back to around 29 mins on the park run, but it’s not helped by having to go single file through one of the gates and the sheer number of runners. We had 288 this Saturday FFS! I’m just gonna keep going until I can’t anymore. It’s keeping me fit as fuck for now and that’s good enough for me.

90Piesanhour Yes it was busy on Sat’dee, I was walking through that gate, they need to get that sorted if they can.

I didn’t feel well as I had flu last week and was just under 29 mins.

Achilles gone again...

Not too sure how I tackle this.

Sounds like someone already has.
John McGinn?

YoungParisian_inExile

Loose_Lips Aahh... shit man, sorry to hear that. Rest up.

Anchor

Loose_Lips You seen anyone about it?

Mitaman

Loose_Lips Sorry to hear that. Its a bastard of an injury. Feels like someone sticking a knife in your heel for three days, than its gone. But it isn’t, and you end up in agony again when you forget about it.

It takes about 8-10 weeks to fix properly, and that was when I was 16.

Loose_Lips

Yeah.

Lose a stone - start cardio again. Fatboy.

Said the specialist.

I think I have to go serious on this now. It's probably the end of football. Would hate it to be the end of running.

It's not snapped, more fraying round the heel.

I might have to suck it up and lay off the beer until Xmas.

And the bread.

Anchor

Loose_Lips I need to lose some blubber as well - It was the cause of my seemingly continual soft tissue injuries.

Good luck mush.

Anchor

Well 'appy wiv that

YoungParisian_inExile

@Anchor ... nice one D.
Ran past the Clapham Common 5k park run masses this morning, must have been 5/600 people.
Can't bring myself to do it ... waiting 20 minutes to set off ... and it looks like a dating app IRL, gyms must be shitting themselves.

Anyways, keep it going !!! 🙌

Anchor

I get there at five to nine and pretty much just go.

Lots of the 'social' cunts there in wacky outfits and what not.

I like how it drives me on and makes me run faster.

Only thing that matters really 👍

Tbf I've seen vids of that Bushy park one, I think. Where it all started. Fuck me. 😲

(Get) Lost in Music #2
Two hours of music …if you listen to the whole thing you’ll have done a half marathon. Compiled for negative splits … starts off gentle and then Leather by Death in Vegas kicks in and says put your foot down

Any non runners then have a listen, walking, car, commute … not a bad old mixture .

90Piesanhour

Finished in 28:39 today. 118th out of 226. Good enough for now.

Anchor

90Piesanhour Nice one pies.

Skipton?

Any others near you? I might try a different one next week.

90Piesanhour

Anchor Cheers. It was Skipton. I don’t do others, really. Too much like getting up early and travelling on a Saturday morning! My only other run was at Keighley, which is not bad, but there’s Bingley and Burnley (if you want to cross the border). A few mates do the Bingley one and enjoy it. I think there’s one in Saltaire, which is a great place to visit, anyway. Check the Park Run site for further details… 😎

Mrs MAC is well into her Parkrun tourism as are a couple of my managers at work.
If you do get to travel that one at Newby Bridge which I think is called Fellfoot is well worth a visit.
A run across fields best done on a muddy winters day to get that authentic school cross country feel followed by a cuppa on the banks of Windermere.
