Well, Pania and I ran the Ipswich Half today.....it was very blustery and rather "undulating".....but we did it!

My time was 2 hrs 17. Pania struggled a bit with the hills so was a little behind me, but we both agreed that it is a good base on which to build for those Spring marathons, so all in all very happy with our efforts!!

But boy do I ache now

Fantastic news Hypno and Pania :T:T:T Well done!

Well done to both of you for achieving your half marathon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As for me I did L1 of Shred today and it felt like I had never exercised before with how I felt afterwards - good grief! That workout is tough but I'll stick at it and see if it works!

Morning all, this morning I ran 12.15 miles :j
It's my furthest run ever, so I'm very pleased with myself and looking forward to the Great North Run now!

Hope everyone has a good day

Hi there,

today was my first long(ish) run for some time - the longest I could do in Sofia was about 5 miles I think. So today I did 6.3 miles on hills and loved it. At least I have not lost much fitness; if anything have regained some.

I also registered for Lausanne Marathon today - it is 50 euro but running is one of my protected wants.

Out on Weds - same distance as last week, but 2 minutes quicker :j (and a LOT more tired at the end of it :rotfl:)

Another next week, then I'll do a PR on Saturday, providing I don't overdo it at the Muse gig on Friday

Good luck Lurks

I am pulling out from Cardiff half. There is no way even if I was able to run on Monday that I can build up my mileages for it. Pah Pilates today, two days of rest and then I will try running. Failing that it will be back on the exercise bike or shin allowing x-trainer (which I prefer). And of course need to dust that Jillian thingamy.

Sorry to read that, marru.....but better to get yourself repaired properly than to risk doing longer term damage x
