So..... running - Page 67

I'm doing 30-40 min runs 2-3 times a week at the moment. Seem to have kept it up a while. Have to admit, don't enjoy it really but it's keeping me fit! This may die down a bit soon due to doing ballet, burlesque and not having enough time!

Unless I'm running somewhere new or running to get somewhere, I don't really enjoy running by myself as much. It's much more fun with someone else.

The 305 is a great watch. Lots of people down the club have them. Mine is a 405, which has a touch bezel and is a sleeker design. The satellite reception is also supposed to be better. Never heard anyone complain about their 305 though and there are some good deals out there at the moment :-)

Running home from the station tonight. I have the choice of a fast 6km, a slower 13km or a much longer 15-16km that I haven't mapped out yet. I kind of want to do the 13km but I'm undecided because my left achilles and knee are twinging a little from cycling. I might just do the 6 because it won't tire my legs out enough to play on those too much. Maybe I'll keep the longer ones for next week onwards.

Thanks! Just went to the local shop, they only do timex but it did look huuuuge. Unfortunately I hate touchscreens so am not sure the bezel thing would not drive me insane.

Do you know if it has some kind of backlight option?

It will definitely drive you insane. It drives me mad and I like the watch as a whole!

The 305 is pretty big, which is the main reason I went for the 405 because I have small wrists. It does have a backlight though, so you can check how far/fast/etc. when it's dark

Did the gruelling run last night from Clapham Junction -> Beckenham. Crystal Palace hill appears at about the 9th kilometre and is a 240ft ascent to the highest point in London (at 373 ft). Had to take a break at the top for some water. Legs are a bit sore today - gotta love that burn

I normally have a good 12 hours break after the 9th km

Cheers for the info lostkat, will let you know how I get on!

I've officially registered for the 2011 Liverpool marathon. Its the first in 20 odd years so it should be an incredible experience to take part in.

I watched the first part of Eddie Izzard Marathon Man the other day which was brilliant. Can't believe its not available on DVD though. So inspirational. He just goes off with about 6 weeks training and runs.

Wow dude, that's going to be incredible. I'm still in awe of anyone who can run that far!
