  • Hi!
    Just thought I would pop by and see if people could give me a bit of advise. I've set myself the challenge of running (albeit maybe jogging!) a half marathon on Feb 21st 2010. Currently I cycle quite a bit -maybe 5 miles per day. Apart from this I don't do a great deal of exercise. I have found some training plans which look quite good but wondered if anyone here had any advise? Also what is the best sort of diet should I be sticking to to make this achievable? Many Thanks.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
  • After a bad run, I can thoroughly recommend a large glass of chablis - it's making me feel much better - I love you all! ha ha!

    Ooh, that calls for a glass of chablis Hannah! I hope my race pack arrives soon for Inverness.

    By the way, one of our crowd has dropped out for the Baxters Marathon 10K run in Inverness, 2nd Oct, so if anyone fancies running it? You'll have to be called Marina that day though!

    + Yeah..... simply is in the house... no doubt to tell us about a 10.XX mile pace run :P

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I can only run at one speed!!!!!

    No 10 miles for me today - a nice rest day instead. Went up to London yesterday, dinner and a show last night and retail therapy today!!

    I'm currently resting by researching and booking runs for post Abingdon - all to be run at 10.XX pace of course. :D:D

    How's your knee now Uk?

  • Being good here too (won't mention last night's consumption though) :D

    Rich when you've recovered from your pop would you please add a couple of races to the list for me?

    Halloween 5k Nite Run - Saturday 31 October 2009 - possibly a bit ambitious so soon after Abingdon but I'm hoping I might be up for a little plod by then.

    Somerley 10k - Saturday 3 January 2010

    ............. might be back with some more later :D

  • Simply - have a glass of wine, I'm on my third, and all gloom of this mornings run has faded - in fact, in theory, from the comfort of the sofa - I reckon I'm running 8 min miles now!

    Rich, Becks - cheers - anyone else for chablis. Linda, have a drink hun!

    Be careful though, these are the times folk talk you into agreeing to challenges - like 10ks in inverness!
