I was slower this week too? Maybe because I was sh*tting through the eye of a needle all day yesterday?

I remember going out for a jog then after 2 minutes realised I had bowel problem. Went into Brewery tap to ask if I could use their bogs and spent 30 mins in there showering the pan. Got some strange looks on the way out.

Me and my brother (Sim who started this thread) did the London Marathan in 1999. He raced off as he had taken the training more seriously than me but I beat him by 2 minutes due to him having a crap 2 miles from the finish.

It was worse than that. It was only 70 seconds. And the crap was three miles into the race, owing to the fact that the queues for a SHITE were massive beforehand.

Shoulda just pulled a Radcliffe

So then peeps, brilliant conditions...how did we do? Tubthumper clocked in at 20:54 by my watch.

I am doing a 10k run later today, be happy to do it under 55 mins to be honest, some of your times here put me to shame

 

[gullshark]

Beat last week's time by 20 seconds, pretty pleased seeing as I gave blood on Thursday evening and I woke up with a cold this morning! (and yes, I've told the blood people)

 

[Silkster365]

New record distance for me this week - 8 miles in 1 hour 26. Well pleased

Honestly, they looked like orthopaedic shoes that they make for people with one leg four inches shorter than the other. For the 7 mile run I felt more like Sideshow Bob in gigantic clown shoes, wearing blokes trainers that were way too big.

The new blisters are quite fascinating. But on the plus side: the nipples were just fine

Anyone got any music tips? I've been listening to Daft Punk's Alive album and the Arcade Fire long player. The latter is not the best running music though.

Get on to itunes and search for podcasts by podrunner and fitmusic - they come in different BPM for different styles and goals. Some good interval stuff on there as well. All a bit techno but the BPM is the main thing. For those who want to walk and not run (yet) there are also some walking podcasts that will encourage you.

I have just had my golden bond confirmed for the London Marathon.

Never run more than 6 miles before and now I have the London and Brighton marathon within a week of each other. :gulp:
