The Running Thread

[Geoff_Tipps]

Wanted to start a thread to discuss all things running.

 

What running apps do you use? I tend to use Strava, great for both cycling and running.

 

Thinking of upgrading my Garmin, has anyone got the Forerunner 25 and if so how do the like it?

[Bluto10]

Dreadful subject matter Jeff.

[Geoff_Tipps]

Bloots, you're the last person I suspected to see here.

 

This subject was certainly not constructed with you in mind.

[Bluto10]

[The Boofon]

Best thread ever. Hopefully keep the constant spamming of other threads from happening with all the running chat.

[Zeus]

Nike running

 

Tempted by the garioch 10k and balmoral 10k if I can get properly back into it.

[King Street Loon]

I'm thinking of running a bath later on.

[Poodler]

Nike running app/ Map my run

 

Into the army reserve now (like Gareth from the office) so mainly running with a pack on.

Polar RCX5 is still the king of watches. Replaced with the V800. Prefer the RCX5

People look at me, they say he's tough, he was in the army he's gonna be hard, by the book. But I am caring, and sensitive. Isn't Schindler's List a brilliant film?

I've used a Forerunner 25 for the last ~2 years. It was decent enough, but often you'd struggle to find a GPS signal which was annoying. The battery life was decent to start with but now struggles to go longer than about 4 hours. The app that goes with it is pretty good.

 

Upgraded to a fitbit which seems good sofar.

 

The Garioch 10k is pish. Balmoral 10k is about the best race round here.

 

Running the Marseile and Brighton Marathons this year.

[E-P-K]

Eat like a king, train like a monster, sleep like a baby and love like a fairy tale.

[minijc]

Used to use map my run, done a 6minute mile one morning after too much jack3d, the next two were horrific.

[Zeus]

Old jack3d was it?

 

New stuff is pish

Dreadful subject matter Jeff.

Then why talk about it moron?

[minijc]

Yeah still got a wee sup of it but keeping that for when I'm right back at it, ankle almost solid but still swollen so got to take it easy.

[Dal Riata Don]

Then why talk about it moron?

Stalker.

[RAZOR]

Yes Bluto, why did you mention it several times 3 years ago?

Was regularly talking about it until everyone noticed his fb pic and twitter account and realised he was full of shite (around February last year) then he never logged on for about 3 months in a sulk. Since he's came back, he has for some reason turned against the running game. Shame as I was keen on racing the mofo.

 

I just couldn't be bothered getting all the quotes up.

[The Boofon]

I don't think everyone noticed his Facebook page to be fair. Think maybe only a couple of folk stalked it.

[King Street Loon]

I never had the pleasure.

True

[Geoff_Tipps]

I like Bluto, his hearts in the right place.

[dave_min]

If only the same could be said for his brain.

[Bluto10]

Thanks Jeff, appreciate the vote of confidence

[Henry]

You'll need a bigger boat for that monster bite from Razor there Bluto min.

If thats what it's called when you go back and quote people

[RAZOR]

Few races planned throughout the year.

 

Garioch Half

Newburgh 10k

Baker Hughes.

 

All booked for first few months.

 

@@Geoff_Tipps, you should get involved in Parkrun.

[rumpus]

Recently upgraded from Bitfit charge to Bitfit surge. Not overly impressed but the GPS is an.advantage.

 

Not really fussed about 10k's as I knock 4 or 5 of these out any given week. Might do balmoral again though if home

 

Gradually moving away from running ( been there, done that, have the medals to prove it.) Buying a Bike for this years excercise, the aforementioned gps shall clearly be advantageous for tracking on app.

[RAZOR]

I quite fancy the 15 miler at Balmoral. Might give it a bash.

Aye min, cycling is where the action is at, I am signed up to 3 sportive events this year, 67, 81 and 100 miles.

Hopefully the rain and wind fucks off soon to get some decent road time.
