Can you trance dance with a strained calf Rob? Maybe I should take it up until I can play football again!
I've got two runs in the next few months.
A 7.5 mile coastal run in three weeks- going to be a toughie as it's all offroad on coastal paths and beaches.
I live close to the beach so i've been doing lots of beach running, which is exhilarating but exhausting.
And I'm doing a BUPA 10K in July.
I don't expect to do any clever times, finishing them is enough for me!

He was a bit daft doing the footy on the saturday, it could have easily ruined his race on the sunday.
As for his time
a minute quicker than my PB :x a minute quicker than my PB :x
Wow that is AMAZING
Tom was meant to be running the London Marathon this year but he had to defer his place until next year as he came down with some random tropical disease a couple of months ago, but he was aiming for just under 4 hours - 3 hours 39 mins is superfast, I'm going to tell him he needs to up his game

He's 18 Liam, that the power of youth!
I run less this year only once a week 5.6 miles then walk to work in the morning 5.6 miles. I can't seem to be able to run first thing in the morning. I have no energy!
Started Cycling 11 miles everyday - no accidents yet
3 times a week resistance training
I still eat too much though

When is Brighton Sar
What time would you like for the half ??I'm doing it next year so if Toms planning to do around 3.30 I'll start with him, that is if hes doing it solo, it helps to have someone there helping you along.
It's not that fast mate. Have you seen how fast Nell Mcandrew does it in
The first time I didm 4.39 due to a dodgy knee going, then the following year I took it more seriousy and did 4.09, though I could have gone faster If it wasnt so hot and I hadnt started to quickly
Then last year, althoug it was hot I paced myself well. So going by me knocking 30 minutes of each one, I'm hoping to do sub 3.30 next time. I'm also planning on doing NYC next year also, itd be the first time i will have done two in one year, should be interesting.

Brighton is 10th April (week before London) - they did it for the first time this year and it got really good reports.
I ran 13 miles for the first time in one go last week and it took me 2 hours 8 mins (including 3 toilet stops
) I've got another 5 1/2 weeks to go (although I'm on holiday for 1 week) so I'm going to try and get below 2 hours. When I signed up for it, it was just about getting around, now I'm getting all lairy and giving myself targets Are you definitely doing London? Tom is running for his work charity - Shooting Stars Children's Hospice but will be essentially running on his own (well apart from the other 30,000+ runners

2hours and 8 mins is good for your first, it'd have been less if you hadnt over hydrated
I tend to drink plenty the days building up, then on the morning just sip water/energy drinks gingerly, that way you burn off the liquids rather than pi$$ yourself every half hour You'll know in the race when you need fluids, dont get over paranoid you'll dehydrate.5.5 weeks is plenty of time to get faster, with halfs I tend to do the first hour or so at a comfortable pace, then after an hour or so pick it up slightly keeping a steady but quicker pace, ( you end up passing the people that flew past you at the start
)following this advice I took 15 minutes of on my second attempt. The most important is that you enjoy it and finish Are you definitely doing London?

Thats the plan, I'm going to register when the ballot opens tuesday, though I doubt i'll get it, then as and when I dont I'll register for a golden bond place with a charity come september time. I might take a look at shooting stars, I did it for Clic Sargent last time, so I think id like to do another childrens charity again. i'll keep you informed. PM or email me if you want any tips

Well, fast for a man of your age.

Cheeky fukcer
Talking of the lovely Nell, heres me with her pre-race 2 years ago. I think she took a shine to me
its the scouse charm 
Quality Pic!
could have shaved.
26.2 mile wind resistance would have clipped off another minute or so.
