I love walking around with my shins feeling like they have cracks in them.

See how i feel tomorrow, want to push out another long run, but know that i need to put in a fast 10k for wednesdays 2nd to last 10k road race..

GNR in 4 weeks, so some choices.....

Fast 10k for the 10k on wednesday or some nice long distance for the GNR prep...

Wow krider - a new longest distance and highest weekly total - great going! :T:T

Sorry BoS - I can't offer any advice either - I'm still learning

Ouch to shins Alias; that sounds painful. :eek:

Right you seasoned runners, bearing in mind that the farthest I've run is 8 miles, I need some top tips to help me prepare for the Great North Run in 4 weeks time

Go on the GNR website - it has a free training plan called take to the streets!

And also get saving - you owe me £42 entry fee!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Well done krider on the 14 miles, and to Rich and Becky for hangover runs (are you mad!).

I managed to get out for some hill running today as my parents looked after the kids, I went up a road nearby which is a long steady gradient. The first 2 reps felt fine and I remember that only a few weeks ago it was hard going. I then decided to go further up the road where there was a short steep hill to do some extra reps and because I was annoying a dog in one of the gardens. I did 5 reps of this hill then went back down to the first long hill and did another 2 reps. I didn't take my GPS or MP3 with me so it was nice to just run.

evening all

i was expecting to be working but managed to get the weekend off so did my 2nd wimbledon park run.

i felt like my legs were heavy but i did ok....25:42 my previous was 26.20


it caps off a good week running. will rest up tomorrow but i am hoping to get out for a long un on tuesday.

funny enough i was running with the same chap as last time, but this time I stuck with him and sprinted off to beat him.....(and then nearly passed out!)

i will be there next week I hope too...

Well done mascott, I wish there was one of these park runs near me they sound good.

Evening all, have got myself booked in for a 10K end of Sept (20th) and MUST remember to keep an eye on the time......whoever on here suggested checking the results- I must have been being a complete muppett and forgot I could do that :rolleyes: (hangs head in shame), I will be trying for a sub 45min- please people will you nag me.

evab_2

consider yourself nagged, and let us know how the training and run goes.

Morning everyone. Sterling working going on here. I'm very impressed :T

I had planned on getting out there early this morning but I have my brother's kids over so didn't think it right to leave them to do an 18 miler :rolleyes:. Given the sunshine out there now, I'm going to do it this evening instead, at around 5pm and hope I do better than last week, when I faded towards the end.

Friday's 5 miler was great though as I did it under the planned time so I was very happy.

Oh well, I've fed the kids so I think it's my turn. I'll report back late tonight.

Happy running anyone who's going out this morning
