5k parkruns
I know this group seems to have fizzled out, but just in case there are still some active members.... Any parkrunners? Where do you usually run?
Motivational words from Ali ...
The following are quotes by the greatest boxer to live Casius Clay aka: Muhammad Ali “I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion'.” 'I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was' 'It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And…
Half Marathon
For those of you that have completed a half marathon do you have any training tips? My furthest run so far is 8.5 miles. Before my knee issue I was consistently running 6 days a week, generally 5-6 miles 5 days a week and then a longer run or what I considered long one day a week. How long did it take you to build up to a…
'The Wall'
Right guys for the first time since I've been running I hit 'The Wall'. I think this was down to dehydration, running with old aches and pains and the question I wanted to ask not enough food. So if I'm planning in doing say 18-26.2miles, how much should I really be eating before hand and how long before the race should i…
First 8k!
Yesterday I ran my first 8k race!!! I'm slow (1:03:37), but it was a bit faster than my pace during my training runs. I feel pretty good today, just a bit stiff and one knee is a little achy, but I'm sure it will be fine in a day or two. I have already started looking for a 10k (or 2) this fall!

why am i slower on dreadmill??
First, I am not a fan of it, but I use it as needed. I have a hard time running a 12 minute mile on it, inclince is between 1.5 and 2. But when I get outside, no problem with a 10minute mile, today was averaging 9:33 miles. So why? Is it a mind block, is it my treadmill? Thinking I may run with my app to see how it…
Back hurting- large chest
I have this issue that I have a large chest for my small body. Never did I used to worry about it because a sports bra always helped. I ran 7 miles last night and boy does my back hurt. Any suggestions on how to help with this issue other than surgery please?
Wakey wakey....
Come on people let's keep this group active. You must all have something to share, whether it be running, life, food etc etc get it said. I've got 5 months until my first marathon and over the weekend my local football team got promoted to the English Championship, so that's 2 from me now over to you .....
