4.65k. I think.

Chalk it down as 12 minutes.

Rapid.

[RichC]

Delusional more like it

[Chazza]

He may have undercooked the time by about 16mins.

Got out this morning and dragged my out of shape fat arse round Harrow. Only 3.9k today. But itll get longer soon enough.

Anyway, back on the road

[Rich]

Did 5 miles last night in my Nikes.

God they're so much better to run in than the bloody Brooks. Started to feel my Achilles towards the end and I can feel it still this morning but it hasn't worsened so I'm fairly hopefully that I can go for a shorter run tomorrow night and hopefully the parkrun on Saturday morning. That's the aim any how.

Who runs to music? Weirdly (or perhaps not) it totally depends on my mood, I'm about 50/50 in taking the iPod and not.

I have a nokia lumia 920 which I take with me on every run and I use it with the addidas miicoach app which tracks everything for me. since starting with it in December it has tracked 40 miles, unfortunately I cant use it in the gym though.

I used to use endomondo but now I prefer the addidas app. Im training for a half marathon and you can add a training plan, it gives me some really good stats and some very good feedback during the run.

I also listen to a lot of dance music whilst I run. I have never really been a massive fan of the genre, more of an indie kid, but since taking up running (following a bad break up) I have got into it. I find it helps me run, when a song comes on I enjoy it gives me a burst!

everyone is different though, one of my friends listens to Eminem due to the beat. I tried running to indie music but found it difficult to hit my stride.

Me and Fake are on Endomondo. You can set up clubs and groups on it. Be good to get an est group to see progress on that.

I've got a Lumia 920, find it a bit bulky for taking it out with me.

Eminem - Lose Yourself is a great running track, as is the Training Montage music from Rocky IV...

Updated table:

Pablo: 9.35 miles
Rich: 8.4 miles
Norbs: 4.5 miles

Let me know if I've missed any runs out.

Good work Rich. When I run on my own I almost always listen to music, when I run with others I never do, obviously. I just need some distraction so conversation with others or a bit of music distracts me from the pain.

I think I'll be back out tomorrow, almost over this heavy cold now.

Downloaded that a few evenings ago. I'd be up for joining a group.

Conversation? I'm too busy panting to talk!

Just back in from a very slow very painful run. Put me down for the attached

[Norbs]

That's miles BTW and before some smartarse mentions it, yes I was wearing shoes
