Re: The athletics/running thread
Well done, it'll all be worth it! 10 miles is the furthest i have ever run in one go, can't imagine doing a marathon!Gary the Enfield wrote:Gooner Girl wrote:I don't think he needs any encouragement from us.

10 miles done. Feel really good as it was bang on 9 minute miling which was exactly what I intended. Good foundation for what's going to be a tough few months.
What charity are you running for? Let us know when you get your sponsor form up.

Re: The athletics/running thread
Just getting back into it after man flu, so did a week 4 session from the NHS schedule. Pissed it - so added a bit more on at the end. This was on the back of 90 mins 5-a-side.
I'm going to curl up in a ball now!

Cheers guys. Just realised that my next run will be on Tuesday, and I'm tied up Tuesday evening, so I'm going to have to get up and do it before I go to work. That's going to be tough. Very tough.

Re: The athletics/running thread
You found a nearer one? That's no distance. No excuse then. Either run with Martin in Enfield or get your arse over to walthamstow one Saturday morning.thebish wrote:actually - it's walthamstow....Gooner Girl wrote:I already told him he should.
