YorkDon Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 48 minutes ago, styrofoamplates said: Not that much York, up until about a year ago I don't think I'd ran properly since cross country at school. Then with lockdown I decided to give it a bash and got the bug from the first run. Had an old pair of Nike Flyknits that did the job for the first month and then bought a pair of Brooks Revels and that made a massive difference. The Nike's were giving me a bit of heel pain and didn't feel that great, but the Brooks were amazing. Then I got the Sauchony's just before Christmas as I was getting right into running and they were recommended and apparently you should have a few pairs of trainers if you run a bit as it takes a couple of days for the foam to get back into shape. (Probably marketing bollocks to sell more trainers. I work in marketing or a clothing company and it's the kind of shite we would spout). I like the Sauchony's, but I'd say overall I prefer the Brooks. They seem to be more comfortable on a longer run. I try and run every second day, so will usually do 6k during the week at lunchtime (only real reason is that the route I like to run is 6k and if it's a nice day there's usually some lovely young ladies in the park) and then on a Saturday or Sunday morning I'll try and do 10k. My times are fucking atrocious, but I enjoy it and that's the main thing. Stick a podcast on and run for an hour. Magic. Haven't attempted a race or anything yet as I've only been running since lockdown. But I might try the Amsterdam half marathon in October. If you don't keep it up then at least you've got a comfy as fuck pair of trainers to walk the dog and wash the car in ? Times are nae important if you enjoy it without watching the clock. I’m hoping to fuck the running bug bites me. I’m nae a podcast guy but I’ve a Russell Kane one i’m wanting to check out. Dinna mention car washing min, we don’t want this thread filling up with thon cunts pointless, shite filled posts. Link to comment

Ran to it yesterday. Interview with Trevor Steven. Hun cunt made me run faster out of hatred. But seriously, normally the episodes are great if you like 90’s football and they have some great guests.

Running is the most natural thing you can do and we all do it differently. You try and conform to a style that isn't natural and that's when you get injured. It's not the most natural thing you can do. Having a shite or lying in your scratcher is much more natural. Link to comment

I’ve made that mistake twice now, climbing goatfell, a wee old man in his eighties and his collie, seen him at the start and said to my cousin that we would be phoning an ambulance for him when going down. The old boy destroyed me going up the hill, by the time a made it in the pub he was on his 3rd pint. 10k run in Glasgow for cancer, a 90 year old this time, started and the old boy started shuffling at a steady speed, a bombed away from him and at roughly 7 kilometres in, he shuffled right by me, same speed, a was cunted, he won, a contemplated suicide ?

My football manager in my boy club days jogged home from training us one night, dropped dead of a heart attack, really fit dude. Still a trophy played to this day in Aberdeen in his honour. Should have taken the car, was only in his 40's. Link to comment

Joe pike Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Your car engine only has so many miles in it. Thrash it up and down the motorways it packs in. Exactly the same with your heart and other muscles in your body. 1 Link to comment

I’ve had issues with both achilles in the past so gone with a bit of extra cushioning. Need to get the miles in my legs even though some of the run over Snowdon will possibly be scrambling a bit.Have some trail shoes for the majority of it, but the first 6 miles or so is meant to be tarmac. Fuckin hell, it’s the shoe version of the rainbow flag Link to comment

True story, I saw ex-Motherwell player, Jamie Dolan, lying deid after being out jogging one day. I still maintain that if the woman behind the till in the nearby shop I was in wasn't so fucking slow I'd have been in the exact place to try and resuscitate him.

I see he had a hereditary heart condition like his old man, who died at 44 Probably not but I like to think I might have made a better effort than the other boys that were first there. Every time I see that woman now I think about her being so fucking slow that day. @daytripping there was no time to get the lips on him. So near yet so far... Link to comment
