How is the training going

For 2011 we have decided to give the healthy local running and jogging community a forum of their own!

managed 4 miles on thursday and a cheeky 7 miler with moi on the 2nd but the legs really hurt after the 7 miles :lol: since the marathon have only done 2 x 2mile runs and many many hours of zumba - still feeling up for it just need to start doing some running :lol:

any of you runners try the zumba, great cardio workout 8)
Dance like no-one is watching....

My half marathon schedule was meant to kick in last week but was in Glasgow for a few days so only managed our Tuesday training on Wednesday and Thursday's training on Friday (not good doing intervals on your own :oops: :oops: ) but managed the 12 mile LSR yesterday with the others which was great.

It's hard Fiona coming back after some well earned time off running but I'm sure you will bounce back quickly. Do you need co-ordination for Zumba???

I was out late this afternoon for my first run since 16th October :<>
... waited till the adrenaline and endorphins wore off otherwise I would have been posting OTT excitable babble! :lol:
Did my usual 5.6 mile route round the hill, no stops and only 6 seconds slower than my first run last year. I think we can regard that as a natural margin of error! and not 6 seconds age deterioration...but, I would rather have been 6 seconds faster :roll:

Feels great though, absolutely great :D

well done katfer, didnt know you were doing a half, which one you doing?

only the ability to laugh at yourself when you get it wrong required for zumba, once you master the steps as pans says a bloody good workout, i am dripping at the end of every session!! - so ladylike!! 8) but I always say you only get out what you put in to a session 8)

the zumba motto is no-one can make a mistake we only see "unexpected solo's" - tuesday night sold out already tho, you have to be kwik with your booking :lol:

Fiona, I've entered the Balloch to Clydebank half, think it's 13th march.

Thanks for info on Zumba, will maybe be brave and try it.

All the talk of Balloch/Clydebank Half on facebook and Kintyre Forum made me glad I went out this afternoon on my regular 8.3 mile route.
After being thwarted by heavy rain on Friday and Saturday night It felt great on a calm, dry and mild-ish! Sunday afternoon.

The time was better than on the same route at this time last year so that can't be bad at my age! ( "my age"....jeeezo, I hate even thinking that expression)!

Not training for anything in particular at the moment, just keeping it going for some kind of race in the Autumn...and if I can find one after 10th October it will be as a super vet :shock: :? ..... :(

You are right 4th Gen,you are not bad for your age,when it comes in Oct welcome to the super vets,must be a few now around Campbeltown or getting there. (lol)

After tonight clubs training as a recovery run, my half marathon training for the Mok starts.(missed out on getting anything decent for VLM).

Just hoping to have a good bash at the Mok this year along with a good few others,(wind weather permitting).

DJD and 4th Gen-----the great thing is that you love doing it. :)

Just remember-----we are all getting old at the same rate, but some have a head start and know how to handle it. Never doubt it.
