Running thread

I only buy what ever is cheaest in the Nike outlet store, suppose each to their own, but i haven't paid over £30 for a pair yet and have been getting over 500 miles out of them. Currently running in a pair of...

Comfortable and sturdy.

Yep. Very nice.
It help my mate works in a sports shop and knocks the price down for the ones I buy.

I'm going for under 45 minutes!! I know what you mean about times mate, can be obsessive though.

I’ve just started to run regularly under 50 minutes so will be chuffed too bits to get around that time mate.

50 minutes I have always found as a good benchmark time for when I know I’m getting fit. Currently at about 52/3 minutes but only really been back training for a month after 3 or 4 months of doing bugger all. Once I get to under 50 mins I know I’m getting back into ok shape. I think my days of pushing myself under 45 are gone, just don’t have the motivation now to run for fast times.

I’ve worked really hard this year to lose weight and I’m starting to really push myself but I reckon sub 47 is beyond me-just hope to stay injury free.

Did my second run yesterday. It was a bit harder than the first, mainly because I'd been climbing the day before and everything was still aching, but also because I'd been on my feet at work all day.

Still trying to work out a decent route, but I'm working at a sports uni at the moment, so I might have a look around campus. The only problem is that everyone is much younger and fitter than me.

I’m tempted to do the Bury 10k next weekend, however never ran a 10k in my life. Have racked up nearly 150 parkruns of 5k but that’s the furthest I’ve ever done. Couple of people I know have said I’d find it easy enough without any additional training, that I’d just need to take it a little bit easier than I do the 5k’s - I do parkrun in Heaton in about 26/27 mins.

Thoughts?

Just go do it mate, I’d guess you’ll be under 1 hour, it’ll be flatter than Heaton Park I’d guess too. You’ll enjoy it mate, always good support on them.

You will be fine and the crowd motivates you to get round.
