Running thread

Cheptegui just never seemed in it, suspect he may have been using it as a taster as it was his first one, he dropped back after halfway and looked destroyed at the end.
A few of my running pals did it, and all PB'd such a flat and fast course, think if I don't get berlin for next year I might give it a go

Yes I think Valenica is on my radar also. Great way to round of your running year, with a possible PB, or at least a faster time and with half decent weather also.

I was booked on Malaga in December last year, not realising Valencia was an option. Injury prevented me racing but from watching it never looked a great event.
 
Not posted on this thread before, but I've done a few HM's and lots of 10Ks.. but lately I've just lost any motivation to run. Drink far too much at night, (bottle of red most nights) and then make any excuse to myself not to go for a run. Anyone got any tips on how to get out of this 'funk'?

I've been in that exact 'funk' loads of times, to be honest I don't think there's an easy way out of it, especially at this time of year when it's pretty grim outside and it seems every other fucker on the planet is getting pissed every night.
My "tip" is to start a run streak, I'm up to day 116 today and would be totally fucked off if I had woke up hungover and had to miss one, just get the ball rolling and it does snowball, you don't have to run far at first, but give yourself targets and the longer it goes on the better you will feel. Good luck with it

Easier said than done, but you've just gotta do it. Getting out the front door is often the hardest part of a run.

Just don't make any excuses. Get your running gear on and get out there!


....With the wine, that's clearly not a great amount to be drinking. Can you not challenge yourself to forego it tonight? If you can get out and do a run, and stay off the drink tonight you will feel 10x better for it tomorrow morning.

The fact you've posted on here is a good first step so well done for that!
 
I'm a bit gutted the frosty weather has gone. It was like running in a winter wonderland. Now it's back to dodging puddles and getting splashed. :')

Its absolutely awful unless you like looking in the mirror. Tried everything, music, podcasts etc but not only do I hate it but I also struggle, or feel like I do, physically.
