Do you run? - Page 6

bwahahaha, no mention of running in that post by my checking.

I do however notice your sig Roberta saying "Send more paramedics..." a long shot perhaps but is that in reference to the band?

Hmph. Innuendo hounds.

It's a line from Return Of The Living Dead - which is where the band got their name from - but I've never heard the band.

I much prefer running in on roads than on the treadmill, somehow it feels more 'real'. I run (halfway) home sometimes which is 5.3 miles, I can do that in 40-45 minutes. I can't really advise you on slower music because I listen to Armin van Buuren's 'A State of Trance' radio show to run, its like having someone drive along side you with a whip!

I'd find it too hideously painful to run without my super-strapper-down sports bra anyway. Doesn't bear thinking about. Ouch.

I'm strapped up like a geisha when I run, it's the only way!

/\/\/\/\/\ Solution = Gaffa tape.

I get bulkified legs if I run - plus I can't run fast at all... it's like walking a bit faster with a bounce in it. As the article mentions above - sports bras-schmortz bras... no matter what I'm wearing I'm always managing to nearly black eye myself and other civilians as I run past.

I think I've gone off running though from when I was trained by a police fitness instructor...

6 - 7am starts of a mile "jog" and then 45min sprint training up a steep hill (doing push ups at the top... jogging back down... sit ups at the bottom... sprinting back up etc etc)

This is whilst having a 6foot brick house built man yelling "MY GRANDMOTHER COULD DO THIS BETTER THAN YOU - ANNND SHE'S DEEEEEEEAD RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN! YOU'RE PUTTING NO EFFORT IN - STOP SLACKING - DON'T YOU LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT - THAT'S "SORRY SIR" TO YOU - I DIDN'T HEAR YOU - 20 MORE PRESS UPS - FAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSTEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRR"

He did that to me one afternoon in the height of summer - I sweated so much I swear that my brain had shrunk through dehydration and when I shook my head I could hear my brain wallop from side to side. My legs were jellified (I was walking like a squid on ice), my face was beetroot and my left lung had imploded causing me to make shriggly-snorty noises from my mouth (all in all I looked a bit like quasi moto)

After putting me through the paces though, he turned around and said "Oooh you've done very well today I'm gonna take you to Poole Quay for a treat"!

"YAAAAAAY A PINT OR TWO" thought I... however... when we arrived in Poole I noticed a lot of people walking/jogging about with numbers on them... and with the biggest, cheekiest smile on his face he announced he had entered me into the 6km race.

My face just fell and went as white as micky j's face is now. I did it though (and didn't walk at all - purely because he was yelling at me across the park infront of hundreds of people). I did, however, come 2nd from last and half way round was over taken by a handicapped 75year old man.

Never again did I trust him. MEEEEEAN MAN. MEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN MAN

Mirrors are sooo needed when you're doing freeweights - you have to check your form

Tomorrow, I am going to try a 2 mile run outside - I can't stand running on the treadmill.. it's sooooooooo boring and it's far too easy to say sod it and stop :/

Ive not done weights 'properly' ever, but i have a 10Kg pair and a 15Kg pair that i use at home every now and again.

I dont know what you mean about form though, so I'm probably doing more damage than good..

I'll try a 2 mile outdoor tomorrow too - see if i can pace myself for it and i'll time it too
