The Running/Keeping Fit Thread

[Alex]

I have actually just brought (before seeing your post) a Zip Up Adidas running jacket.



So good tip Norbs

I ran last summer with one of those under armour tops under my tshirt. So I guess they are similar.

Now, got home tonight and like Norbs had a mountain of emails to sort through. My Mrs had kindly made me dinner and had a bottle of beer ready for me. So I will be doing it tommorow morning instead.

Thinking of getting into work early and running then. I prefer getting **** done in the mornings, as it feels like its free time. See how that goes for a bit.

On the straight to 5k. I did that last year, and I ****ed myself. Which totally knocked my confidence.

I have also been told by a mate of mine who is a running nut (runs about 6 marathons a year all over the world) that I should ease into my training. Which is what I did last time and it worked for me.

So ill take it slow, it frustrates me. But apparently it builds a good base, as it lets the body get used to it.

[Alex]

Thats what I did before, and will do again. It defiantly works eh.

Welcome to the thread

Alex, you could well be right. I'm nothing but aches and pains, someone told me yesterday to focus on distance rather than time and to start off more slowly. It's hard not to just go for it though

[Norbs]

1/10 for spelling

[Assassin]

Facking car correct

[Lee]

4.65k. I think.

Chalk it down as 12 minutes.

Which one is the official couch to 5k app on Android? There's loads here, does it matter?

[Assassin]

12 mins a km?

[Alex]

Just get the pod casts. If you can find the NHS one, that worked best for me. The lady talking you through it sounds like an angel. Which helps
