The athletics/running thread

[Worthy4England]

I've started walking to work...2.4 miles takes about 30 mins on average (avec bag and occasionally suitcase). First thing to constitue "exercise" of more than the arm muscles in about 15 years.

Being of the "technology age", I'm trying to work out if I can do it online instead.

[Gooner Girl]

Well done Verbal. Did a bit of agility tonight at footy training. Short sprints forwards, backwards and sideways. Felt muscles in my legs i didnt know i had rinning backwards and sideways but they held up surprisingly well considering I did a hills session yesterday.

[Verbal]

10km last night. Surprisingly good this morning. A steady session but hopefully get to an average of under 5:45 pkm next time.

Desperately need some new trainers though..

[Gary the Enfield]

After saying I was feeling strong at the beginning of last week I am currently struggling.

Calf pain is getting worse and have had a sports massage to try and iron out the steel knots where my calf muscles used to be.

I also think I'm developing planter fasciitis as I keep getting a tearing sensation and pain in my right foot.

However, this is perfectly normal and just a sign of the things to come over the next few months. Once I get to the line on 22nd April I'll be fine. I hope.

And set to cost the country money no doubt!!

Well I'm glad the chirpy Cockends down south suffer and I hope the bill for all this lands with Londoners and not the rest of us, after all they are "The London Olympics" feckin' rest of us don't exist.

Jog by all means but feck off trying to make legging it a sport it's not its just a bunch of look at me's ain't I fit and healthy? Well when your joints fall apart later in life I hope you have insurance to foot the health bill because if your knackerd I'd just have you shot!
Blair you snot nosed arse hole you should be terminated for wasting taxpayers money on a minority sport that cannot pay it's own way and need vast sums of public money for the "privlage" of being allowed to host the corrupt "games"!

Horrible isn't it? Felt like someone had clamped them earlier in the week. I'm sure you already but make sure you are stretching them loads, even on off days.

Keep going.

Cheers mate I will.

Need to invest in an ice bath methinks.

Wassup Hobo? Did some of your relatives get kicked off the development park?

In your world you seek to punish the workshy, the lazy, the benefit cheat and now the athlete?

I'm pretty sure you're against despots too so when you've finished your genocidal programme and take a moment to reflect..... make sure the bullet doesn't miss the roof of your mouth.

[Bruce Rioja]

It's Hobo's thinking see, Gary. The dots are never joined up.

He'd punish those that exercise but not, presumably, those that lie on the sofa eating KFC by the bucket full.

Just humour him, as you might a simple child

Just peed off by the billion £ games and all the lies about how it would be good for the ecconomy when now the truth is coming out for the sake of a few joggers it will actually cost the country not be the great revenue generator. Also I'm sick to death of London getting everything then crying about congestion

[Bruce Rioja]

Glad you like 'em.

Can't thank you enough, buddy. The next ales are on me.

Was out in them on Wednesday evening and could see the ice forming on the roads.

They stuck to the road like shit to a blanket!

Oh they'd get it too Bruce

Anyway I'll get off this thread and argue politics on here don't want to be a spoiler but it is athlectics that lead to the anger

It really is a rather nice stadium though

[Bruce Rioja]

Didn't know I had to step it up a bit today. 2.5 miles in 25 minutes non-stop. Laura says I'm now officially a runner
