The athletics/running thread

[Lost Leopard Spot]

nahh - you've got it badly wrong...

I was referring to this:



that's the current visualisation I have of you... (there are other Matey characters, though..)

I don't think there is a bubble bath called "pal"...

Ho fxcking ho. I'm struggling to conceptualize a more comedic image. You really do have talent!

Happy to report I completed my first 10 mile run in over 8 months yesterday.


Whilst admiring your athletic efforts Gary, is 8 months not a bit of a long time to run 10 miles ?

Thank you sir. Yes 10 miles in 8 months is, indeed, a lonng time but let's not focus on the time but the endeavour.

LLS I am not a doctor and you are right to pount that out. However I know Bruce personally having met him on several occasions and would say he is an intelligent enough man to know whether he is able to self medicate. I also (away from this thread) advised him to seek professional medical advice.

As for the thread title and OP? I think I don't 'own'it but do contribute and encourage people to run and try to impart my knowledge through experience.

You're just a sanctimonious dick.

I didn't prescribe ibuprofen for you. You weren't involved in in the conversation. You chose to step in and get all fecking shirty. And I'm not your pal.

If you note I just observed it was like Salem witches screeching, which to me it still was
I know you have an antipathy to me and now I note that pal is a banned epithet when directly responding to posts you aim specifically at me (I was merely following the Christian pastor, thebish himself, who in an earlier post named me as matey as being the new sarcasm). You no doubt feel that this thread is yours and yours alone to occupy. I'd suggest you check out the handle of the OP and reflect

No, he doesn't. It's one where we discuss matters of athletics and running. Injuries occur as a result. So go and stick your pathetic, antagonistic, blistered beak in somewhere else, you manky c*nt.

[TANGODANCER]

I only check out this thread, like others, as a matter of course as a mod. I'm normally just glad to see folk making the effort to keep themselves fit. Must say I'm more than a bit disgusted that the thread needs to resort to petty, aggresssive name-calling amongst our own members. Get a grip lads, please.

Nice. You really are a charmer. Kiss kiss.

(PS love to the OP. You were right, he's a complete arsehole).

Missed my first game in ages to walk from home up the Pike yesterday afternoon. One the classic hill races and well worth a watch. Keep saying I'll do it next year. Maybe one day I will. It's on my running bucket list. The winner was a local lad, Rob Hope, still going strong at 41.
Did the parkrun with my sis in the morning so that was probably more exercise than I did in the previous month.
Enjoyed a pint in the Victoria and Albert when I got back. For once I earned it.
No sign of Mr Genshaw this year, unless I missed him.

Didn't do it this year bud, but hope to be racing again soon. Park run next Saturday perhaps? I'm surprised you've never done the pike race before. You really must!

[Bruce Rioja]

Anyway - just got 40 minutes out on the cross-trainer without so little as a twinge. Tomorrow - uphill running.

Don't forget a bit of self massage.

I've never done a fell race and not raced cross country since 2002! Need to branch out a bit. I'll be up for that leisurely trot over the tops we talked about soon though.

As well as sticking my thumbs into the scar tissue? But of course!

And where did I claim this, exactly?

[Gary the Enfield]

Anyway, after my 10 mile race on Saturday I was back to the track today. Session was:

3 x 400m warm up

4 x 400m at 5k pace with 200m recovery

1 x 400m recovery lap

2000m at 5k pace

1 x 400m recovery lap

4 x 400m at 1 mile pace with 200m recovery

3 x 400m warm down

Felt great to do a full session like that. Didn't push too hard and ready to start moving on to get back to my 10km and 5km times

[Burnden Paddock]

Feel tired just reading that!

Almost a full quota for this week's Parkrun with LE, Bruce and Harry joining me. New breakfast venue too, though I shall reserve judgement on 'breakfast yorkie's with gravy'!!!

[Bruce Rioja]

Aye. Did 5k round my local park yesterday with no ill effects so deffo up for this Saturday. Looking forward to my mushroom inclusive breakfast already.

Whisper it quietly but yes.

New venue sounds good. I'll look forward to that next time I'm up.

Upmarket from Sainsburys I'd say. You won't be able to wander in in your running kit covered in mud like you normally do, yer dirty get!
