hello all, well I did it, don't really know the time as my watch didn't work right so will have to wait for the results to be posted later.

Once again a huge thanks for all the advice & support that you have given to me over that last six weeks it has been invaluable.
If anyone had told me 13 weeks ago that I would take up running and have run my first ever 10k I would have laughed at them but here I am 12 weeks of running later & the race completed I can't :jI don't have the energy!

:j_party_ Well done, Hannah! I'm really proud and pleased for you! :j_party_

Also...Becky has training plans?! Coo-ee Becky! :wave: Would you be so kind as to share with me, please?! :think: Thanks muchly if you will! :A :cool:

I make them for each person I dont "have" them per se...

As I suspected yesterday - its not my neck its my shoulder thats funny and I have pulled a muscle by the feel of it today - I cant compress or stretch one side without pain - not good for looking to cross the road...it looks like the neck was just from the inflamation - i.e. it was pressing on a nerve - loads more pain today becuase its healing...

Not worried - will take it easy tonight in warm up and see how it goes! Not really affecting the running at all - but its likely I did it reaching for something at home in the top of the cupboard :eek:

Hannah - 10 weeks?

Okay are you running 3 times a week or 4?

Furthest so far is 8 miles right?

Why do I have a nasty feeling that when i wake up on Nov 9th the only thing that will be on my mind is "Must train for Triathlon now"

However i notice its not very MSE... £800 for the cheapest bike :rotfl:... just might make me keep me feet on the ground with that plan mind.. ( Might )

My partner has started doing Tri this year, and if you shop around you can pick alot of second hand nearly new gear up as alot of people buy the basics and then either decide it's not for them or they upgrade stuff quite quickly.
He got his wetsuit from ebay, bike was new - Specialised around £650. And then get a lidded box from Wilkinsons to put in goggles, ear plugs, vas, talc, socks etc for the transition period. We've picked up tips at everyone we've been to this year

Thanks bagpuss its a long way from the £40 last years design shoes, some 4 pound shorts and a 8 pound shirt mind. ...

What about if you want to take part in overseas events must be a pain and costly to drag your bike with you.

Not sure about a UK Trialthon with the swimming bit... but give me the Med and ill be there .

Ouch Becky, hope it feels better soon.

Not run yet this week - really tired but need to get myself out there.

Am in for the Kilomathon so that's something to aim for

OMG just had an email from the charity I ran LM for last year - minimum sponsorship is now £5,000 :eek: :eek: :eek:

Mine was £1,000 and I didnt meet! Can you imagine having to raise £5,000 as well as train for a marathon - that is just beyond a joke!

Ukevas

best get your bucket out now then :P

Idiophreak

I just don't understand that model at all.

"Please sponsor me so that I can raise money to enter the marathon"..."now please sponsor me to actually run the thing". It's stoopid.

Ukevas

There is only one thing more stupid than asking for £5000 and thats doing it knowing you have to get to £5000............. :eek::eek:
