Diggin up an old thread.

Had my longest run today. Previous longest was 13km (don't know the time) and today i managed 16km in roughly 1h42m. The things i do just to fit into my leathers.. ugghhhhh....

all this running could save your life one day (see:reduced risk of heart disease. damn heart disease).


but yeah, i hate HATE H A T E running, but do so for 2 main reasons. Motorcyles and Rugby. I need to fit in that damn jacket every spring and rugby is a whole lot more fun when you can run the whole game and smack people.

i've recently gotten a decent road bike (bicycle) and find that on the days i absolutely can't fathom running, hopping on the bike for 20-40 km usually does the trick instead.

I'm also on the "fit into my leathers" running program.

I purposefully bought leathers that were too small just to motivate me. They're sitting on a chair in my living room so I see them ALL the time. If I even think of snacking...I take a look at the leathers.

They need to fit by the time I go to the Gap at the end of May.

Oh and I signed up for a 10K too. Tim it's in Kitchener if you wanted to do it too. $28 to sign up.

$28 to run 10k damn, you can't afford NOT to do that!

Congrats on your long run. BTW how often / how much do you run weekly? Reason I ask, sometimes you can get more benefit from more shorter runs. In running, frequency imo is key.

Usually 4 or 5 days a week, and the runs are usually 5 or 8km. I just felt like tryin to best myself today.

4-5 times a week is good.

I found the info in this post quite useful:

It's a little long but, but the concepts described there really worked for me.

Go to Karate or Judo. Running warmup around the Dojo only. Jogging makes me feel like a hamster.
