The Running/Keeping Fit Thread

Well done Will, how was it? Always wanted to do one for a laugh, but I refuse to pay the insane price to enter.

Thanks Pabs. I actually enjoyed this one Didn't feel as tough as the first one we did last year, so rather than ****ting myself at the start of every obstacle I just got stuck in and enjoyed it. Hopefully doing a couple more in August/September.

Have you had a look for deals? They do 50% or 25% off deals every once in a while, which is still expensive to be honest but worth a look if you did want to do one.

Excellent, superb cushioning and very light too (which I wasn't expecting). A favourite of ultra marathon runners apparently.

Interesting. I think I'd have to give them a try before considering buying them though.

Did a Tough Mudder on Saturday, don't know if that counts as running but i'm counting it. Was nearly 11 miles after all

My target is to break 100km this month.

I went completely the other way and ended up with these. Took them out for the first run today

That's got to be pretty close to a Boston qualifier. What's it set at these days?

Think it'll get you back in next year too

Annoyingly last year they changed it to 3:05 or else i could have got in under 3:15! I've entered the ballot so fingers crossed, although i wont hold my breathe as i got in after about the fifth attempt!

I've been alternating Saucony Kinvaras of late. Love them

Has anyone tried these minimalist type trainers? I'm in the market for a new pair, only jog short distances, 40 minutes, mostly road and occasionally some dirt trails.

I've always worn your normal style runners, but want to try and get away from heel striking/running flat footed and these apparently encourage it.

Don't want to spend anymore than £80.

Managed to do the London Marathon in 3:10 so was well chuffed, was aiming for 3:30 and just kinder kept going.

The crowd support is unparalleled, haven't experienced anything like that anywhere!
