Congrats to your bro Tanya, good for him!

I hate reading you are down about your running, you have come so far. When you started LT there is no way you would have even dreamed of running let along doing a half marathon. You have achieved so much up to now and loads more to come I bet. Keep going and keep your chin up, you are doing a great job, as usual!

 

[SandraB]

Perhaps he can give you some running tips?

 

[summergurl]

Running tips from him: just get and f*****g do it!
He is right though - I need to stop winging and just crack on with it. I'm not built for running but im having a good crack at it and i will i will i will get that half marathon in under 2hr30. 17weeks to pick up my time - im sure i can drop about 40secs per mile in that time

I was able to do about 9 miles at a pace of 10 mins a mile when I did my first half marathon, can't remember my exact time but I think it was about 2 hours 10 mins......the last two or three are absolute killers and you'll really need to draw on your reserves to get through them, are you going to be running with someone. It really helps if you can, and for your training runs too, as you can emigrate each other. No different to what we do on here really!

 

[summergurl]

I find I cant really run with other people I defo can't run and talk I like to go into my zone and stay there. My runs on sundays are with other family members but they are faster than me so always go on ahead.

Dont want to run with either my dad or brothers girlfriend on actual race day - im even going to move away from them at the start line and go squish in somewhere where I cant see them. I think its because i've always run on my own from c25k to now i think ive only actually run twice with somebody else. Gawd i sound selfish hahaa

 

[SandraB]

Not selfish, no, you just want to do what you want to do! I guess it was different for me cos I started running with a club and in those days there were no personal stereos or MP3 players! Now I even have a waterproof MP3 player for swimming....

I just wonder if you could run with someone who was a wee bit faster than you that it might sped you up a bit if you tried to keep up!

 

[summergurl]

haha yeah I see what your saying Sandra. When i ran burrator last i did 3.85miles in 44mins which is my record i think and I was running with my brothers girlfriend so I guess it does help

Waterproof mp3?!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations to your Bro, what a little star he is. You deserve to be proud of him.

im like that..now dont take this the wrong way but is there anyway you can get a little 5k done before you do the half marathon for real..it will at least give you an idea of what its like to run with a lot of people behind, around and in front of you, holding you back. thats where i went wrong and only went out either on my own or with my OH when he cycled along side for company. i would def advise it

h xx
