Are you suggesting I should aspire to being an ex-copper?

No Edna. Only that you aspire to be half as good as Chris Carter.

Did my first run this saturday just gone did it in; 21:52, popping out in a minute to do a mid-week trial for the weekend. Hoping to get my time below 21 mins.

Good running, how can you leave NSC at such an enthralling moment in time though?

I will run later!

Trying to work out how fast you'll run it by doing it on a treadmill is a bit like trying to judge how good you'd be at driving by playing Mario Kart.

I did 3k on a treadmill in 14 mins but I had eaten heartily only hours ealier.

Im shit at Mario Kart.

Im also shit at real driving.

How can all this help me work out how I'll do over 5K?

 

[mistahclarke]

got to say, I did 5k tonight and it took me 26 mins and didn't think I was going particuarly slow at 9mph?

fair play to you lot that can do it quicker.

Were you on a treadmill? I don't see how the 5k can be that hard unless you're quite fat...it's so short it's practically a sprint, anyone who can't run at 90% for 25 minutes has probably got a bigger problem. It's not even a great test of fitness either - it doesn't last long enough for that - it's just a good wake-up call on a Satdi morning/incentive not to get too f***ed on a Friday night (says I, having managed to get there twice in the past year.) 10k two or three times a week with a competitive version once every month or two is the best for that

Well, it took me 28mins 30secs but that was on the cross country setting that inclines up and down rather than the standard flat setting.

 

[Mr Banana]

Honestly, the bellends with the prams and the porkier runners beat 28. I reckon you will run 22

slight inclines at hove park but i reckon you will knock a couple of minutes off your time with the inspiration of the flying banana good bless the little curved fruit

 

[Lord Bamber]

Done my training this morning....

Mario Kart that is.....

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Yes I run it occasionally. The distance is too short for me as I am a marathon runner, however even us long distance guys have a need for speed sometimes.

Likewise, I do the longer distances and do not really get into my stride until about 10k. I might give this a go though. See if I can improve my starts.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Right, I've just registered. See you Saturday.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Does anyone know if there is anything similar at Preston Park as that is 5 mins from me?

Get fitter and Hove Park will only be 5 minutes away
