Running

[take_yer_points]

Good man just puck it, I was certain there was someone else on here doing it. Great time as well - some going. I'm coming round as well - would love to do one in better weather and hopefully the improved time will come with that. Maybe next year

Well done Seanie & JPI, it is great motivation to read about that sort of stuff.

Running is a pretty solitary hobby so this thread is a Godsend.

Fair play Seanie, hard to beat the warm fuzzy feeling of a PB 

[andoireabu]

Started on the streets the last weekend in April and ran 4.2km in 29mins and 4.8km in 28mins.  Legs were stiff for a week so copped on a bit and slowed down.  Found it very hard to get a consistent pace plus dodging people and traffic in the city are annoying to do.  Went out again last weekend and ran 3.6km in 23mins and 6.2km in 38mins.  Not as stiff afterwards this time and found it easier to get the air in.  Normally I find that I get a stitch early when I run no matter the pace but it goes away soon enough.  Went out this morning and ran 7.3km in 46mins.  Felt very good after it with little to no stiffness and had it in my head that I could do more.  Hoping to be consistent on this for the week and then try and run 10km at the weekend.  Never got near that distance in my life before but I reckon it's doable.

Unreal Seanie to do a PB in a darkness into light race, crowds and early morning wouldn't lend to a quick time but might stuff!
Unfortunately not Moy, had it penciled in but am taking a break until June 16th..18 week schedule for Dublin starting then. Brilliant race though, would recommend it to anyone if they are around!

10k definitely doable with that 7.3k behind you. Good man, keep it up.

We'll done all, great motivation, to the point I have been embarrassed coming on to this thread for the past month or 2. Have been very slack since the 10k in March.

Finally got off my ass and out yesterday for a slow (tough) 11k. Started the Hal Higdon program for the Brisbane half on 3 August so hopefully that's me back on track! Today was stretching and strength only so handy day to get started, looking forward to getting back in to it!

Almost a sense of relief from posters on the board when they get out on a run, whether it goes well or not! The traffic on this thread is certainly growing which is great to see - more and more people getting out and getting moving. As well as the obvious physical benefits the knock on effects are fantastic. I've started thinking more and more about my diet, our mad house is now functioning like a well oiled machine as both Mrs CD and I try to organise our running around the wee ones (our four year old is mad to come with us), and I actually have way more energy. As a few lads have commented recently, it's really good for the head as well! Nothing feeds the soul like coming home after a tough 10mile or setting a PB at parkrun. Its all good!

Many thanks to the experts on here who constantly dole out great advice and tips and the motivational stories of your marathon endeavours!

Next in the pipeline for me is Les Jones 10k then Lisburn - still not sure if I'll tackle the 10k or the half marathon. Anyone else up for these two?

Thanks BM. For good measure I played a full hour in a club junior match last evening. It was 13 a side too. Such a sleep I had last night!

I don't understand foreign money....
There is one for €599

One thing to watch out for LL, is switching between the threadmill and the road is a b**tard for the shin splints....

Really?

Do you mean using one for a period of time and then switching, or switching back and forward regularly?

The problem is when you switch between one or the other, it has something to do with different shocks to the shin areas, I know one girl who stopped using the T.M completely and the condition cleared up completely

Looking to do the Lisburn half, calf injury at the moment and have Triathlon at end of month so need to have a look and see whats best. Probably settle for the 10k
