shercofray Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 . Today out of nowhere I smashed 10k in 62 mins (gutted I didn't break the hour mark - stupid slow start) And start running on real surfaces not treadmills as soon as you can. This. Treadmills are great for sprints and longer interval training, but aren't great for training for longer distances outdoor events. Get a good 10k route and just hammer it, such a good feeling watching your time getting quicker each time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King C Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Thanks for the tips guys. It was just a test of endurance really to see if I could actually manage it. I got nearly 8 months to train for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Werd - I've been doing a little bit of running recently as prep for starting training in a couple of weeks and although I'm still far from the level of pooing-myself-on-a-marathon it's pretty sweet watching your times decrease or feeling a run get easier each time.

dann2707 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I hate running on treadmills though, I find it really uncomfortable running and it hurts my feet. Way prefer the natural feeling of running in the open air (sans clothing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King C Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I just mapped out 10K on a map to see if I can replicate the run on actual roads and I can't believe how far it is. Going to give it a go sometime soon and I'll time myself. The only thing I worry about is the treadmill sets the pace, whereas on the road/street I set my own and I could get lazy and might not be anywhere near an hour.

williams Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Wish I could run without knee and ankle problems!

Happy thread related news: My Dad is deaf in one ear, my Mum is in India and my Sister is in London for the week.

ogre Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I just mapped out 10K on a map to see if I can replicate the run on actual roads and I can't believe how far it is. Going to give it a go sometime soon and I'll time myself. The only thing I worry about is the treadmill sets the pace, whereas on the road/street I set my own and I could get lazy and might not be anywhere near an hour. if you have a smart phone, get strava and track it, you can keep glancing at it and see how your average pace is doing... you aren't going to be as good, i could run 14km in an hour on a treadmill last year, but the first time i was a 5 mile on the roads i was suffering haha. while i'm on the subject, i buggered my foot by smashing the treadmill like this, and doubt i'll bother with them ever again for anything other than a short warm up/cool down.

Ben Cox Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Swapped my standard exhaust for a set of Scorpion cans with Luke Dunstan on here. Absolutely love the sound it makes now! Well worth the 210 mile round trip to pick them up/swap over. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
