Running thread

Just been out for a one hour run. Had to, nerves getting to me.
And a few points in credit for a couple of Superbock later.

Settling down for the mammoth climbs of the Giro for next couple of hours now. San Bernadino about to start - 24km, 12% gradients.

I want to start running but have no inspiration, what to do?

Try that couchto5k mate, at start of covid I couldn't run 2 minutes for a bus. Now running 2 5ks a week plus a longer one. Never going to win any races but just happy getting out. Lost over stone, dropped size in jeans and feel much better, helped my mental health as well

BOAST POST! New 5k PB of 20.49, barely 2 months after I could hardly run at all without fairly significant pain in my heels! I'm amazed really.

Ah, that's great news mate. Nice one.

I've had 5 weeks of very little running cos of major work-related stuff going on.

Got out this morning with a massive hangover, absolutely seething at that shitshow from last night.

Without realising it, I ran quite a bit faster than I intended. I guess that means a few extra calories burnt (not that it will impact on all of yesterday beers but still...). Just wanted to try and clear my head really. Anyway, just thinking ahead to next season now and how Chelsea are probably gonna be giving us a good run for our money.

Cracking time mate.

Cracking time mate.

Thanks! I knew it was going to be a fast one when my first 1k was 4.25, im about half a stone overweight so I reckon I can crack the 20 minute barrier, if I stay fit!

And keep checking on this thread for free advice, plenty of encouragement, and lots of support from experienced runners who are also City fans. (Plus one United fan).

Who is the United fan?

Superb time mate, to get a time like that, with what sounds like disrupted training, shows a fair amount of natural ability. Hope you stay injury free from now on.
