Good stuff. Personally I find the hardest part between 1 and 2 miles when the old body realises what's happening and adjusts. After 20 mins though I just get into a rhythm and its fine.
Talking of Shoreham Beach earlier, that's a great half marathon to Goring and back. Apart from a good path...
This time last year I went running for the first time in 25 years. I couldn't even manage a mile.
In April last year I was so impressed with people completing the Brighton Marathon I said (rashly and drunk) that is do it the following year.
A year on and I can run 20 miles and fancy my chances...
Exactly my first excuse. My asthma was an issue and I told everyone I just couldn't physically do it. Would you believe that the more I try, the more my breathing improved. Keep it up and your body adapts for the better. Trust me.
For beginners, ParkRun is just awesome. One to start in Preston Park soon too.
As its so cold you NEED to wear man-tights. They feel sexy as you put them on and they keep you incredibly warm. Win-win.
Great to hear you start running. It feels so good after a run.
As for boredom, it seems I'm on...
Anyone use an SEO company ?
I used to use some Indian guys but they started posting quotes around the internet purporting to be from me and saying how awesome they are.
I let it slip over the past could of years and need a boost in Google rank.
Who do you recommend ?
I use a bumbag type thing with my keys, iphone plus energy gels.
Runkeeper is the daddy for me.
If you're a complete novice, the Couch to 5K app is great.
Good luck.
First time I've dipped into this running chat.
Always hated running but need to get fit so I'm in the Brighton marathon and all has been going well. Now I've stepped up in distance my knees are completely shot to bits for at least a week. A half marathon is ok but 15 miles+ means I can hardly...
Oh for goodness sake Upson is class. That's fact. One of the greatest signings we've had. I can't understand what's to discuss. Class always prevails. Embrace him.
This is just too easy. When binge rhymes with ginge, wedgie rhymes with veggie and whinger rhymes with ginger it's not even difficult.
Seriously, gingerist veggie jokes are racist. Racist to Bristolians with issues so stop it. Now.
I think almost everyone understands the odds are in favour of the bookmakers.
Personally I am happy to write off losing bets and treat myself when I land a nice touch. There's £2k worth of new artwork in my house which reminds me of when my dog won once. A trip to New York from another of his...
Thanks for that. Anything else I can or can't do? Just wondering if I need you to check how I spend the rest of my disposable income.
I enjoy having a bet. I don't bet more than I can afford to lose. As do most people.
Maybe you live in a cave or something.
I did an armed robbery case and the guy and his dad were clearly guilty and they were sent down for 10 years or so.
What shocked me was that after the case finished and sentencing was done, we all left the courtroom together. The jury, the relatives and friends of the accused and victims.
I...
Nicaragua is indeed a nightmare.
My next door neighbour is a political scientist from Central America.
His 6 year old daughter was at a friend's birthday party once when some of the government's men burst in, asked which child she was, and told her to inform her dad that they have 2 days to...
Finally went to Cote yesterday. Finally ticked it off after everyone said how good it is for a chain.
I have to say I was also very impressed. Very good service, liked the wine list, my rib-eye was cooked to perfection and they put our Kir Royales on the house when the waitress heard it was my...
