Shhhh I have a half in three weeks at this rate there is no chance of me running it

How long are the roads closed for Rich?? Might have to run some and walk some

Yep, its looking unlikely!

They have to open the roads again ready for letting people get to work on Monday morning so you may be scuppered!:p:p;)

Cheeky beggar

You'll pay for that later (well in a few weeks anyway )

This might cheer you up though. Just read a quote from Mike Gratton:

"Hi Folks, I'm back - fantastic time in Kenya. Did a PW half of 2.05 (exactly twice my PB time!), but running past Elephant and Zebra made up for the altitude, hills and heat. "

So you have actually run a half quicker than a London Marathon winner!:D

HAHAHA thats great (although he is old now - I bet if you WAVA that its impressive )

Thats not a bad article for the Runner's World 'one size fits all' approach to advice.

In particular:


Avoid fad diets Weight-reducing plans that have you radically changing your eating habits usually don't work - at least in the long run. Sure, you can lose weight quickly, but most of the time it just comes right back.


But do people listen? Usually not!!!:rolleyes:

Not really! 55 years old now, so WAVA is 54.95%.

More importantly than his age though, he is 3 1/2 stone heavier than when he won London.:p

I saw that and was gonna post a link but I thought you would just think I am obsessed with diets...(I am a bit but only cos I am interested in the whole theory of it)

I originally took up running cos I wanted to lose weight, which didn't happen....because I just ate more! What WAS interesting was that programme last night about 10 things you should know about losing weight. Especially the woman who exercised and ate healthily but couldn't lose weight. Her theory - slow metabolism. Tests showed that she had a normal metabolism but underestimated/recorded the amount of calories she ate by up to 63%!!!!

Also had interesting bits about eating more protein for breakfast and mushing food up into soup....makes you feel fuller for longer apparently..
