      All done, without sounding too cocky it was actually a breeze. Ended up doing the 8.5 in 1h12m which I was reasonably happy with although it is slow progress at the start with all the people.

      Thinking a half marathon should be no bother, next one on the list.

      If you ran that first time back youā€™ll be fine for 5k. Well done!

      Cracking mate.

      Did you do in this weather - think Iā€™m right in saying youā€™re a weegie?

      Was out on the move all day and finished with a bit of five a sides. Intense game, made worse by the 26 degrees.

      That I am mate.

      Southside - you?

      Na was just in gym. Iā€™ve moved towards more HIT stuff recently.

      Used to run 200km+ Per month and try to do weights for toning on top of that.......

      At my age I was just getting fed up ;D ;)

      West end mate but was playing at goals shawlands, so not far from you Iā€™d imagine.

      Donā€™t think Iā€™ve covered 200km in my life. Have been enjoying it in the run up to tough mudder so might get in about it a bit more. Great Scottish run in September as well.

      Also been trying to fit in some circuit training, Muay Thai and yoga etc to supplement my weights training.

      Ah sh*t yeh I forgot about your tough mudder.

      Glasgow half is great youā€™ll have a ball. I might still do it.....if the wife lets me. Did it a couple years ago.

      She read a thing a few months ago about constant distance running causing heart scarring and has been pushing me to cut back..........

      I figure Iā€™ll do it while the body still permits ;)

      I was talking about this to folk the other day mate and, the thing is, youā€™re damned if you do, damned if you donā€™t sometimes.

      People talk about the effect on your joints and heart etc but Iā€™d much prefer this than the problems that come with obesity. I know there are ways round it but you gotta do what you enjoy or risk becoming disillusioned with it all.

      Yep I used to get onto my old man (gone 10 yrs tomorrow) - he had 3 heart attacks in 50s and lived till 82 - to slow down.

      His view was heā€™d just die of rot if he wasnā€™t active.......

      82 is a good old age mate, Iā€™d be happy to get there myself.

      Nice one. Looking to get back to a simialr routine myself.

      Usually will get on my spin bike 3/4 times per week and have been maintaining. Lost 2.5 stone since last year purely from spinning and eating better.

      Weirdest thing mate.

      I hate morning cardio - always have as my body feels clunky and heavy and itā€™s a real toil.

      BUT......

      Going first thing and eating brekkie as soon as Home is really controlling my appetite. Iā€™m eating because itā€™s lunchtime etc to maintain schedule........but Iā€™m never starving!

      Yeah Iā€™m the same. Faster cardio is the best one to do!

      Love the bike though so if I donā€™t feel it itā€™s just because of the early alarm typically. Nothing a bit of amino energy canā€™t help me with, gives me an extra push and sweat.

      Decided to go out for a run this morning for the first time since tough mudder last week. Think Iā€™m still feeling the effects a little bit. Managed 10.6k in 53.43, or 10.38k in 53:48 (depending on if you want to believe Strava or Fitbit). So an average pace of around 5ā€™05 which is definitely not my best. Sitting at about 90kg so definitely not easy at the moment.

      Will be doing the Great Scottish run 10k in September so hoping to get around the 47 minute mark. Reckon this is achievable?

      Bout to head out on a weekly ā€œlong runā€.

      Running 6 miles with my youngest (13), my oldest (15) has 9 miles. Getting ready for XC season in the fall. Itā€™s hotter than hell here in Florida and the humidity makes it even tougher. Surviving the run is my primary goal :D
