The Running/Keeping Fit Thread

Still on with the running, ran 8 miles on sunday. Averaged 8:09 per mile, last 2 miles were a lot slower than the previous 6. thinking about signing up to do a half marathon, anyone got any tips? Iv never run in anything before, not even a 3km!

You'll cruise a half marathon no problem at 9 min per mile. Do it.

I've just quickly added up my miles ran since I started recording my runs in 2009 (combination of Nike+ and Endomondo). It works out as the equivalent of running from Liverpool to Florence, Italy. Nearly 2000 miles. I know some on here probably do that in a year, but I'm pretty proud of that

2,000 miles

I've covered 150 since I started running in May, aiming at 500 miles this year, done 8 so far but only started running again this week 10 miles a week is well doable

Sounds a lot, but spread over that amount of time it's not really that much. I'd like to see what others on here have done, I'm sure of the loons on here will have dwarfed that.

I started back to teh gym on Friday there after the xmas binge, only put on 5 pounds overall so happy enough given what I ate over xmas

13 stone 4

I put on about 6 KGs and about 4 inches on my waist over December FFS.

Went from loose fitting 28'' jeans to snug 32'' jeans. I was so close to throwing out all my 32 jeans and medium tops a few months ago, so lucky I didn't.

Ahh well, it will be easily shifted.

I actually didn't even do that much TBF. Years of drinking heavily and eating **** with no exercise and I never once topped 65kgs, now that I'm exercising regularly and dieting, as soon as I stop the weight piles on.

70kgs now, the heaviest I've ever been, just a few months after looking the fittest I ever have.

Ha ha, despite being 31, I still don't consider myself a 'grown man', I've a few years of maturing left to do yet.

I was looking great BTW.
