Running

I think the idea of a GAABoard race, raising money for charity is a superb idea. I'd definitely try to make it at the very least.

Back on the capall after an indifferent couple of months where I didn't get out running much. I'm getting out for a couple of miles at lunchtime a couple of days a week and then trying to do a longer run at the weekend. Looking to try to do my first 10k but struggling to find one close to Sligo or in Dublin the weekends I'll be there. Would like to get a 10k done before the end of the year but might have to settle for Jan/Feb.

This thread has been a godsend for me. Provides loads of useful information as well as the bit of motivation. Great stuff.

Nice flat 10k in Ballina, Dec.8th. 2 miles of it through woods (level paved surface though) along the river. Very good times weather permitting. Proceeds for Mayo/Ros hospice, as well as a donation to Belleek woods committee who are doing a great job including the introduction of red squirrels recently.

Does anyone own a treadmill? I am looking to get one for a family member as a Christmas present. Budget is around £500. I was looking at Reebok zr9 treadmill.
Any recommendations?

My brother has a reebok one, be careful as to how wide they are - his is extremely narrow and I am never confident using it in fear of falling off the side!

Moysider - thanks for that. I had seen that advertised but I'm in Dublin that weekend and won't make it back west in time. Raging cos it sounds like it would be a lovely one to do.

Anyone doing the Seeley 10k tomorrow?

What a lovely morning for a run. Went of at 8am down the canal towards Inchicore and back to Lucan.
Apart from a Swan trying to attack me somewhere around Bluebell it was a very enjoyable run.
The weather was great.

Slow motion capture of elite marathon runners of  2011 Boston marathon. Final 800m.

Look at the amount of hip extension - ie leg going backwards. Strong glutes and loose hip flexors. Real eye opener on how to improve technique and the importance of stretching.
