The Running Thread

[csb]

I agree!  That's a pretty good time for a walk-run. 

Now that you guys have bitched about it, I can't keep thinking about the walk-run complaint as I am walk-running my way through the back-to-running program. This week has been 4 minutes run, 2 minutes walk. And it's going pretty good, although I don't think the injury is completely gone...

Really it's only one guy. Just because he runs the place, don't let him get you down.

those annoying people that run 7 minutes, walk 2, run 7, walk 2 etc, (or something similar)

This is how C25K teaches you to run, but of course the goal is to eliminate the walking.

Couch to 5K is a joke – I mean if you cannot find a way to run 3 miles then you should just sit down and eat another tub of ice cream and blame being fat on your thyroid condition!

& I only hate this run / walk method if I am in a long distance event (1/2 marathon or more) and get stuck next to one of these people –  don’t mind so much for just normal “training / exercise”

I used it primarily to condition my feet, which had a lot of issues until recently.

Couch to 5k is a great program. I have used it to get several friends running and my wife running on several occasions. I have personally used it to successfully recover from injuries on at least 3 occasions (after proper time to allow healing).

Did someone say ice cream?

 

[Road Guy]

I got a thyroid condition!!!!!

I did a beer to couch the other night.

I hate "runner's poop".  Doubly so when it involves alcohol the night prior.

First triathlon this Sunday. Here's to not dying and finally being done with this thing so I can enjoy NFL kickoff.

Good luck, @Jbone27 PE!

I've got a half on Sunday. Should be fun! Didn't train as much as I should have, unfortunately, so I don't expect to set a new PR, but that's okay.

Saturday's run is 11 miles, but have to be a kid's football game that's two hours away, so looks like it'll be an O'Dark Thirty run.

I'll say it again:

Good luck. I have my 2nd one next weekend.

Good luck @Jbone27 PE and @leggo PE!

I’m thinking of signing up for the Baltimore half marathon, now that I’m in the area.  I’ve been trying to find a good fall event for awhile. That one’s in Oct, so I don’t need to get off the couch yet.

Sunday Funday. Good luck too you!

Nice! I want to do another but seems like season is wrapping up here. Looks like just running until spring.

I ran and drank today.   The drinking was a lot easier.   Trying to get back from a knee injury last Dec skiing.
