Not a lapdancer (well not yet, they do teach burlesque at the place that I pole dance so watch this space)!!! Poledancing is a hobby, unless of course things get tough lol.

I'm actually a corporate solicitor by trade

A girl I know did a burlesque class and it involved doing an actual dance in a club. She said she loved it and it was great for her confidence! Not sure lawyers need any more confidence, but then I only really know barristers who are bulldogs by nature :rotfl:

Love the way your blush was after the "lawyer" reference! How is the soliciting business anyway?

Uh-oh gonna get my a$$ sued now!

Thanks Richoneday! That's really helpful. I will look into getting those insoles. The knee injury was a torn cruciate ligament (at mile 22 in the marathon - great!) which involved a very painful hoble to the finish line and 3 months total rest. It only really plays up now at about the 10 mile mark but still is very annoying.

With the intervals, what sort of speeds would you suggest? I do intervals on the treadmill as I have no spatial awareness whatsoever (just ask my oh about my parking). Currently the 400/400 is done at 9Km/h and 13.5 km/h. I seriously doubt that I would be able to keep that 'top speed' up over a mile?

Thanks again!

You do the intervals hard but not quite at the limit - you've done reps so you know what that feels like. The intervals should be done with 1 min rest between reps (you might argue with that but I'm sticking my fingers in my ears ).

The speed of your reps will tell you very accurately what your potential race pace is:

400m reps 1500m pace
800m reps 3k pace
1mile reps 5k pace

Add 15 secs per km to the 5km pace to get 10km pace..

So you do the reps to the way you feel and then record the time, not running to the clock.

OK a rare serious post from me. No matter what injuries you've had to knees or ankles, it can never do any harm to take as much strain as possible off them e.g. by using Dr. RichOneday's medical insole support device.

OK that kind of went from serious to frivolous in one paragraph. guess I'm in one of those moods.:rotfl:

A bit giddy this afternoon aren't we? Its a good job my endorphins have put me in a good mood too - I'm immune to taking offence!:p

Thanks, that makes sense. I know about the rest (but you're right hate it), just feel like a turkey stood on a treadmill going nowhere in the middle of a gym :cool:

Will change my intervals after Sunday, and get some of those insoles to help the long runs. I've actually (foolishly) put in for a ballot place for London marathon next year so that could have a BIG impact on my long run lol!

YAY!! I love what you have done with the place... It has been months since i've been on here... sulking after a long and complicated medical problem... booooo! medical problem is half way between the "stuff it I just want to run" and the trainers "ok you can run, but GENT-LEY!!!" process... so thought it wise to make a comeback. also as i need some motivation to get my sorry arriss out of bed and to the gym at 0630!!! I'm looking forward to loosing the lazy weight that seems to have accrued too!!!!

I honestly can't believe this has kept going so long and it is all credit to you guys for doing it. xxx

Thanks pania! BTW Sorbothane insoles might be good for you too, depending on what your medical problem was. Mind you they can't do any harm even if you haven't had that kind of problem.

Yeah, that's right rich, I'm muscling in on your territory :rotfl:

Soliciting is great ta! The blush is more out of habit really, we don't have a good reputation generally. Most people only need a solicitor when things are going wrong so associations are not good normally .

Dancing (be it pole, burlesque or any other type) is great for confidence and is a totally different workout which is nice from a variety point of view. I recommend it to anyonw.... apparently men are generally very good at it :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I can advocate sorbodoodahs as have been using mine and have found them to be very effective in lessening tired lower legs.... i only do wee runs but due to my considerable weight my legs are under pressure... i like to think of it as 7 odd stone down each leg!!! sounds better that way!!

Go thru Quidco and search for Mobilis healthcare and you'll get cashback too.... see we can do MSE as well!!!
