The Running/Keeping Fit Thread

[Saveloy]

Ah that sucks mate. Next month! I've a couple of halfies in September but after that it's full steam ahead for marathon training 18- 20 milers every Sunday are going to be mega.

Didn't mind the Nimbus but I must do some weird toe curling when I run because I always rip through the fabric on the top of Asics trainers at about the 200 mile mark so can't justify the expense for something that I only get 2 month from. Pegs seem to last me ages. Thinking about trying hokos out for my next pair though. They look awesome

Are they the trainers that look like Skechers?

Did another half hour or so today, very slow paced though.

Good man Slinky.

Pace doesn't matter unless you're racing. Most of my runs have been slow but it feels good to build up the distance.

When you going out next?

[Slinky Skills]

Hoping to get out tomorrow if possible, if not it will be Monday.

Good man. I too need to commit to a run by the end of Monday. I have Monday off and am running out of weekend time before I have to do my half marathon.

Let's hold each other to account and check in on Monday evening.

My gf is doing the London marathon next year. She's keeps herself fit through dancing but doesn't do much running. Most she's ran is about 4 miles.

Am I right to be a bit worried? She intends to starting training next week. She gets a mentor through the sponsor charity around October I think.

If she's got a good base level of fitness you'd think she'll be fine to start training now, surely?

That was painful. Had a shooting pain in my hip that gradually worked its way down to my knee. Anyone know what might be causing it? Could it be posture or gait related?
