Any runners out there?

[FFFHugo]

Any gaylords in the clan that like to run to keep in shape? I started in march this year. My goal was to lose 10kg but also prepaire for a competition in october. my goal is 10km under 50mins.

I recently started using runkeeper app to keep track of my progress.
I have been using a GPS sports watch before.

I go for a run 3 times a week. avg of 10km.

My record so far is 10km in 49m34s on paved road and 52m20s in forest (lots of elevations)

post your runkeeper accounts here so I can add u guys or add me so we share results.

If you have any tips or tricks let us know as well.



ps: would be cool if we would run the London Marathon next year as FFF. Who's up for it?

London Marathon 2015 you mean 'cos next year is most likely already sold out/full... and from 10k to a marathon, you may need more than a year to get there

I run as well, try to do twice a week but that depends on available time off course. I set my goal for a 20k this year but may not get there... yet!

I've only just start a couple of months ago, generally try to get to the gym to run about 2-4km at least 3 times a week

Still, haven't quite made it up to 5k in 30 mins yet, usually cos I don't want to completely knacker myself so I can pump some iron afterwards.

I'd like to be able to do 5km in 30mins pretty easily consistently, then drop it down to 25 mins, and then maybe up the distance after that.

I would recommend Storm3y to post his profile up, but it seems to be getting rather dusty and overrun with cobwebs from lack of use

I'd like to be able to run a marathon, but the fact I can barely run for 20 minutes at the moment means the prospect of a marathon is pretty intimidating.

Hmmmm...April 14th next year, so that's just over 7 months.

How long does it take to train for a marathon?

Couple of weeks

nah I was just kidding about the London Marathon.
I'm not interested in running more than 10km.
My goal is to get faster and run it under 45 mins. I'm at 49 and a bit atm.

 

[Storm3y]

I'm a player. I can boss it, sadly not today

 

[RobinHood]

Just hit a distance and time record of 5km in 27min 10s

Post up your profile R3dw0lF so we can add you

 

[Storm3y]

I did a 3 mile walk / dance. Did take us 2 hours as we stopped off at the swings.

And you got a Chinese! Quit withholding information!

I'll let it slide though as it's the first entry in 2 weeks
