Tomorrow is the last day for signing up for the Lisburn half marathon, there could be more entries afterwards depending on numbers.

Looking to do it in 1.44 or below if I can, think that's achievable providing I don't go too fast at the start or pick up injury (touch wood)

Which is basically 7.7 minute miles (I think) should be grand, will keep to that for as much as I can and if I have anything in the tank will push on

Just registered for the 10k. Struggling at the moment. Ran/jogged 10k after work and then had 25 minutes on the roller but feel really uncomfortable. Was flying three weeks ago! Fed up

Have done my first plan for another person a couple of weeks ago. They want to do our 10 miler at end of July and wanted a plan. They'd have been quite fit a few years back but haven't done much in the last couple of years while enjoying themselves a bit too much (if you get the picture!).

Its basically a couch to 10miler in 9 weeks. A big ask but I know if they stay at it they'll get a decent level in a few weeks and can build from there. The target is definitely to get round the route.

So far, so good for them. Hit 6.5km last sunday and managed this weeks runs off the back of it.

Peer pressure is a wonderful thing, with the rest of the lads hitting their goals you've finally done it, though in fairness having another little one to look after can have its drawback for PB's. And with 20secs of that you've more than smashed it. Well fecking done ya moany shite

[Bingo]

PB's smashed all over the place this last few weeks.

Fair play LL, it was coming!

[laoislad]

Thanks lads. I was delighted.
Had planned on giving it a good rattle at the park run in the morning and only went out today for a quick jog. I knew I was doing well after a couple of km so said fcuk it to myself and just went for it.
I collapsed in a heap when I got to 5k!
Think I'll give the park run in the morning a miss now,my knee is paining me since I came home after today's run.

Sub 50min 10k next on the list!

Bought a new pair of trainers today, GT 2000 Asics. Haven't had a run on them yet but they feel grand.

How do you like them?
Gonna buy a new pair of runners today and was reading these are suited to overpronators.
