Not sure what it was about this bit in bold that I read this morning but it prompted me to get off my arse as I hadn't ran all week whilst eating shite and consuming gin like oxygen.I managed 12k on Saturday, and 11k yesterday, and I'm pretty tired now.
Whilst running, I listened to The Railway Children by E Nesbitt - a throwback to bygone times, when life was simple, innocent, happy. It was also about to be disrupted by WW1. A very enjoyable book though.
Out of curiosity what is you conversational pace per mile?Another hour at conversational pace this morning.
Felt good.

Yeh I am gassed all the way round to be fair - think I need to vary my speeds to try and improve my overall stamina.I did 8.5k in 60 mins mate.
So, pretty slow. But I was focusing on keeping the pace steady and breathing properly.
Well done. Don't give it up, but don't get too hung up if you miss a day or two.Not sure what it was about this bit in bold that I read this morning but it prompted me to get off my arse as I hadn't ran all week whilst eating shite and consuming gin like oxygen.
Much obliged.
Done the same 11k course that I did last Sunday in pretty much the same time. I am especially pleased at this as I was ready for jacking it in after the first couple of miles as I was fucked on the uphill and not feeling it.
1:01.44
Well done. Don't give it up, but don't get too hung up if you miss a day or two.
I'm covering 10k in about an hour at a gentle pace. I find the longer distances much more comfortable if I've got something good to listen to. More often than not that's an audiobook, but can be classical music, especially early in the morning. I was keeping pace with Bittersweet Symphony the other day.

I annoyingly might actually phone someone so that I am forced to have a conversation (lucky people).........
Edit: Just re-read it, not that slow though?
You should try your top 100 playlist... sign up for Western States or UTMB next year, it would numb all the pain ;)if i do a 6+ mile run .. i tend to go for... nothing for 2 miles...then LBC for a bit... then radio X ... then capital

Lesson learned haha!I had a playlist for my first marathon, Dylan and Coldplay included in my play list was a huge mistake - chucked my £100 headphones at 16 miles.
Sounds like a great place to start mate. Just remember the golden rule of running for fat loss: run slowly.Proper fat mess at the minute and really unfit. Would the couch to 5k plan be good to start? It’s 9 weeks building up to 30 mins of continuous running. First weeks are stop and stArt like 1 min run 1.30 walk etc
Another hour at conversational pace this morning.

I've tried this but I feel like I might as well just walk. I know the science behind it but just really struggle to run that slow
It does...it's a tough but to crack (it took me 3 years with three attempts) until I got it (and I've historically hated running even though I grew up doing sports pretty much every day). Still have the occasional down day run but lately I've really enjoyed it. Gyms being closed has pushed me back on the pavements. An evening run can be massively blissful especially if you don't hammer it and find some great tunes to run with.
