The Running/Keeping Fit Thread

[Slinky Skills]

Probably fatigue setting in mate after being such a lazy get for so long. Take a couple of days off and then you'll feel much better when you get back out there.

Do you think that's what it is, fatigue?

Just don't seem to be getting any fitter, constantly have to pull up with aching muscles all over my body.

Having lots of problems with my gammy joints and neck at the moment, feel very achy all the time. Nightmare it is.

Supplements - Does any one take any for running? Is there anything that really helps with muscle recovery and fatigue? I've recently started taking l-carnitine which does seem to have helped, but I'm not sure if it's the placebo effect

Anyone got any suggestions?

I've been trying Beet It shots before runs and I think it's making a difference. My system can't handle much Whey but I really, really like For Goodness Shakes for post run. The berry one is awesome!

Other than that... Nowt!

New 10km PB for me (well for the last few years anyway) of 51 mins 40 seconds . Still got to find a bit to break the 50 min mark, but again this was such a hilly route. I'm sure a flat 10km event with crowds and the adrenaline pumping would see me do it.

Yeah whey shake post-run ftw.

7 mile run followed by a 30 mile cycle... Followed by a big ****ing ice cream

Just gotten in from an eventful run with the dog.

Came around a corner down a lane and a farmers trying to walk a bull out into another field. The bull got a little spooked, the farmer started shouting abuse and another farmer said to go down a side lane until the'd gotten passed.

10 minutes later the calmer farmer came down and said that the coast was clear so off I went and bumped into the other one. He started mouthing off and we hand a big shouting session with him threatening to shoot my dog if he see's me go passed again! It was at this point I lost it completely which resulted in him getting behind a gate and refusing to come back over.

Bloody assholes farmers are. I had the typical "get back to the city" ****e, he tried telling me that I wasn't allowed to run down the public road with a dog and then the threat. Asshole!

Great work again everyone. Going to fall just short of 100km this month as I only have one more run planned in before Thursday.

Alex - What's going on dude? Still ill?

[Pablo]

Combined totals for Est each month:
Jan: 292km (half month only)
Feb: 672km
March: 755km
April (so far): 688km

Another 68km to clock before we can beat last month's total lads.

[Alex]

Still cant shake the chest infection. Been 3 weeks now. Coughing up my lungs every day. Its getting better though. So I will try for a run later this week I think. I tried on Saturday, but it felt like someone was standing on my chest and I couldnt breath well. Horrible.

I guess its my fault the monthly total is down.
