First Week

Well done everyone surviving the first week! Although I remain to be convinced that indoor rowing and sit-ups count as going for a run.... ??

I'm similarly sceptical, but reckon that there must be a soft-start easing-in period to what is quite a daunting commitment, especially for those who have had several years off (Chaz) or are constatnly walking the injury tightrope (Crispin). When I tried it last year I remember being knackered for about a fortnight, presumably due to lack of recovery between runs. Pretty knackered this time, too, if the truth be told. Let it be known that this sort of namby-pamby nonsense will be tolerated much less over the coming weeks!

Aye, a soft start - long may it continue!

The time clock for logging posts is only out by 8 hours (later), so is there any way you geeks can amend this to GMT rather then fekin LA time !?

Run at least 20 minutes every day during 2007

Can someone please add some clarity to what one can clearly be allowed to
"get away with" if one is "supposed" to be doing a run ?

I watched Big Brother for 50 min, would that count ?

Clock now changed to GMT !!

Marc,

Threshold is tailored to each individual. Hence, Chris is expected to run AT LEAST 3 races each week, I'm allowed to creep out for a daily half-hour, when the wife's not looking, Chaz is roundly congratulated for getting out of bed unaided, Crispin is ignored because he's Welsh and Dave, the token road-runner, is required to do only enough to make us feel very sorry for him.
As for you, your youth and absence of wife and kids would set the bar at somewhere around 15 hard miles or 30 x 400 off short recovery each day.
The final decision, of course, is MINE!
