I enjoy running and biking in the rain, it's helps hide things lol. On a serious note, I'm not doing anything today, it's a rest day for me, back to biking to work tomorrow to build my fitness back up. Had time off looking after the wife now I need to look after myself. 1 Quote Link to post

LovesToWet 3,351 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Top tip before going out for a run.... make sure you don't have toothpaste stains on your black shorts, it's not a good look especially when it's in your crotch! On the plus side, that's another 4 miles in the bank 1 Quote Link to post

Kupar 12,115 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Less than 2 weeks to a half marathon and first run for a while after feeling a nasty twinge in my dodgy left knee. And ... 15k done this morning with knee braced, but feeling fine - so all is good 🙂. I might get round that half after all! 2 1 Quote Link to post
LovesToWet 3,351 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) That's good going @Kupar. Good luck with your half. I managed 7 miles last night, slowly building to a half myself Edited May 25, 2022 by LovesToWet 1 Quote Link to post

Kupar 12,115 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 (edited) Last training run before this weekend's half - more diagnostic than anything, to check that my knee is OK, remind my heart and lungs that there's a difference between running and walking, and to discover which muscles and joints are going to feel it and will need proper waking up and stretching before the race. Just a gentle 4.5 miles at a pace that suggests I might get round the half in around 1hr 50m. So that's the target. (Stripped off in the garden to cool down afterwards, stood with feet apart, and let out a nice pee on to the lawn - it helps with post-run relaxation I find 🙂) @LovesToWet, @harry_jones_1975, @Sophie - how is your training going? And @amack - you still running? Edited June 1, 2022 by Kupar 1 1 Quote Link to post

And @amack - you still running? Good luck hun, kick ass! Training is going well thanks, confident me and my daughter will be able to complete the half marathon on the 26th. We have done a few 15k runs now but would like to do a 20k to see how we cope with the extra distance. Going out later today for a run and will have another this weekend. I'm excited! 2 Quote Link to post
