Running? (2 Viewers)

Swimming is too much hassle. Not enough return on time invested, unless you've a pool in your back garden.

Running is cheap, easy & unavoidable. Unless it's snowing. Or absolutely pissing down.

Good point Ann,in my defense I always kept fit,push bike courier for years and plenty of hill walking and cycling since i packed that in.always had bogey knees since I was a kid.my mistake was going too hard too soon.started taking fish oils recently so gonna double up on the dosage and get on the glucosamine too.

I tell ya..I'm eating bananas left and right cos I have a game knee since falling down a boghole at Leechrum and they really help.

 

[pete]

not saying that was a tough one, but when i got back the kid asked me was it raining out.

 

[pete]

NOT GETTING ANY EASIER

I'm on week five of going out every second day for this yoke http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

Wednesday should be a laugh - "Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then jog two miles (or 20 minutes) with no walking."

I feel like a total dosser

Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.

Reading a pretty cool book by Haruki Murakami, on this crazy business.


He talks about having a mantra to repeat on particularly long grueling runs. Anybody here have one? Not that I need one, I wouldn't run for a bus full of Special K girls...

I miss running,was lying in bed last night thinking I'd get out today for a few miles,no such luck.Woke up this morning and the knee pains are back.Just have to keep on taking oils and hope it passes.Soon.

He talks about that too. The only opponent you have to beat is yourself, the way you used to be.
He also talks about having to run with music (the Lovin Spoonful!). My brother in law reckons he needs a completely clear head, so music is out. While the sister listened to stuff like this, while training for the last marathon..

I pretty much have to have music on as I run, generally quite upbeat stuff though Sparklehorse has proved to be quite good for it. Sometimes I listen to podcasts as well but they'rea bit too slow paced.

I used to run cross country competatively when I was a teenager, but alas am pathetically far from that now. Would love to get back into it. I just have no interest in running in the city, can't do it, needs to be hill running or something. Might try Devil's Dyke.
