Survived the half marathon

those who do the marathon have my greatest respect. Last couple of miles was bloody tough.

 

well done mate. better man than me!

 

Very well done...What time did you manage?

I did a fairly flat one in 1hr 52 some time ago though.

Very rewarding even if running is boring as ****

 

Well Done.

(Y)

Hope you don't suffer too much tomorrow.

 

RE: Very well done...What time did you manage?

thats very good. I got to half way just under 53 minutes. But then my time went all to **** cos I struggled. My first one and I didn't train to that distance. So I should have expected to struggle in second half. Sheffield is not too hilly.

 

Well done but their easy!

Try a full one. ff </p>

My best time was 78min on the old Barnsley Half course which went out to Cawthorne</p>

I can still remember that bloody hill under the motorway.</p>

I may do a 10k later this year but 4 stones of extra weight will certainly slow me down. </p>

I'm thinking about the Children's Hospital one they have in Sheffield. I'd just like to say thank you to that Hospital. </p>

Well done again (casualty) </p>

 

RE: Well Done.

Cheers Crystal. I was just doing it for fun really, but still managed to raise a few bob for charity so was worth while.

 

Good effort mate.

Not something I'd like to try. I get bored walking 200 yards to the shop, never mind running 13 miles plus.

 

I only did the one

was stuck in inverness and running was an esacpe from watching tv.

Did a couple of 10k's after that but my interest faded. Mindshti my feet started to go numb after a mile or two so that sort of sounded the death knell for my running.

Still its quite a mental challenge to keep running for 2 hours or so. I take my hat off to marathon runners.

Well done again and have a good nights sleep if you can.

 

Fair play mate!

No way I could manage it!</p>

Enjoyable? If that's at all possible!</p>

 

You've got all my respect lad, makes me feel knackered just watching folk run a marathon.... Well done....

 

Well done!

Great effort

 

RE: Well done but their easy!

think about yer heart at your age

 

RE: I only did the one

cheers. Flippin tired now a tell thi.

 

RE: Fair play mate!

was ok actually. But now the chaifing is starting to feel painful.

 

RE: Well done but their easy!

I take the precaution of wearing a HRM.</p>

I'm lucky that my rest heart rate is still bellow 50.</p>

I usually run 2 or 3 times a week with the HRM set to 140 to 156 bpm.</p>

At the top of Pit Lane it max out at 160 ish.
</p>

It's the 4 stone of fat thats the problem! </p>

 

RE: Well done but their easy!

thats a good heart rate. Im only a young fella and mine goes ten t dozen.

 

Well Done Bud

A good time and you raised cash for a good cause. Well done once again (Y) (Y) (Y)
