Re: Where are all the RUNNERS???

mi know di fat and lazy feeling fi real. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70394-bawlout.gif[/img] Registed for the running and riding leg of a triatholon [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70394-bawlout.gif[/img] sometimes, I am not sure why I agreed to do it. Anyway, the only thing that gets me going sometimes is knowing that it will be over.

As for the half...increase the milage s-l-o-w-l-y. that is advice I wish I followed. I have gone through some unnecessary pain because I increased the milage too fast. not sure if you run street or treadmill, but try to do what you can on the road. And dont forget to cross train.

That's all I can think of for know.

Re: Where are all the RUNNERS???

Ochi at least you have some time...3 months. Getting ready for a 1/2 marathon exactly a month from today. Come man, get positive and go hit the running trail...not hard to kill yourself out, but pace yourself evenly. Try not to go faster than you feel you should, else you'll burn out quickly. Get some strength and cross training in...to increase your strength. Nothing to test your endurance than the running though. Good luck!

Get on the treadmill until the road is safe (ice, salt, etc.) then get on the road. Dont forget to cross train.

there's a fully equipped gym in my building. i can't use the treadmill. lasted a whole five minutes once. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/blush.gif[/img] it's boooooooooooring. i'd rather take the elements for 30 minutes every night than be on those blasted machines.

Re: Where are all the RUNNERS???

You guys are the greatest! Good to know I am not alone out there. The weather here now allows for street running...no more ice and snow....just lots of nice RAIN [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif[/img]

ILP...I got your number on that one...STart slowly...I learned the hard way years ago...tibial stress fracture one time and knee problems another time...and Plantar Faciitis last time.

My biggest problem right now is I have some extra weight and I am feeling it in my knees...gotta drop it FAST...but I am not into unhealthy ways of weight loss...so I may have to live with some of it at race time. 3 months just isnt that much time really.

SS...I am with ya on the treadmill thing....HATE THEM...boring and doesnt allow for any variance in pace or stride...

ONe month Sandi??? ...I get nervous thinking about only haveing 3 months...

Mrs.O., there are cleets that you can put on the bottom of your runners that cut through the ice and snow. if there's a Running Room store, they'll stock them. that way you won't fall if you hit a patch of ice.

Right now I can't advise as I've done my back in so currently restricted to physio, pilates and low-level treadmill and cross-trainer [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70394-bawlout.gif[/img]

Just take it slow and put up a large picture of a portion of cheese chips and two beers on the fridge as a reward for finishing [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70409-waytogo.gif[/img]

Re: Where are all the RUNNERS???

Hello to you too pumpkinpie... [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]

Well, I have started my half-mary training and so far so good. I have to take it easy and REALLY listen to my body. Mainly my knees. they start to scream at me when I have done enough. I did 4 miles Sunday before last and this last Sunday was set to do 5. I made it 4.7 and my knees had had plenty...so I stopped and walked another mile or so. I will shoot for 5.5 or maybe 6 miles this coming sunday.

EG...sorry to hear about your back. I know how that is though. Mine has been buggin me for close to a year now...so far running doesnt seem to bother it too much.

As for the ice cleats...thanks but we rarely get much ice and snow in this area...so I'm good.

HOpe your back on the road soon!

Anyone else do any running this past week or weekend???

**ILP** · 03-21-2007, 08:33 PM

Re: Where are all the RUNNERS???

Did a run this afternoon before heading back to work. Ah..... got in 6 miles. It have begun to notice that since I have added cycling to the mix...it doesnt take me as long to "settle down" when I am running. I am getting into the grove much quicker [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/bannana_purple.gif[/img] Wont be back out until Friday and Sunday (maybe).

MrsO...watch those knees....you're right to listen to them. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70409-waytogo.gif[/img]

Re: Where are all the RUNNERS???

Yep I did 10 miles with my son cross country team, the last two miles also most killed me because I was trying to keep up with these 17 year old kids. I've to start listening to my body also and not push myself so much.

The good thing is I slept like a baby last night.
