Ok, so I reckon that in 2 months I can train up some more and push myself a bit more and do the Malvern Half in 1hr 47 (or there abouts, the course isn't completely flat, but I'll over-train in that department in Sheffield no-doubt). I think that's equivelent to 8:10 min/miles. I was fairly comfortable on Sunday doing the Sheffield Half, and in my training plan I do tempo runs at that speed... so yeah... I'm going to go for it.

I'm telling you all this because when I tell people I'm going to do stuff I don't let myself chicken out so much... am I being unreasonable though?


I'm totally itching to get out for a run though, feel like I haven't ran in forever heh.

I wouldn't say so, I think I'd do the same it would help to keep me focused.

I think you've done really well, keep it up

Letting folk know you are going to do something is a very good motivator!!

Go go gadget legs......oh! sorry, I mean go for it! I know what you mean about telling people and then sticking to it. Ive done it before on here and it does work

O.

It worked in my degree... "I'm going to the library at 7am and I'll be there to 9pm every day this week"... I kept that up for 4 whole days!! That was in second year as well... the dedication!!! In third year I spent maybe 2 days in the library - and only cuz I needed to use their printers and stuff heh. This year I went in to the library at about 4am cuz I was walking home and needed a pee... See... it's a downward spiral.

Uni library's are actually REALLY good... it wasn't until probably the last month of uni that I found out how many books the uni had on running and sports etc... by which point I was full on with my final bits of project work - wish I'd known sooner

Lol well our new information commons was literally just opened when I was doing my dissertation thingy, they were still moving around a ton of books, and I found some fairly random things that I couldn't believe they'd wasted their money on (especially because my dept is always complaining that they don't have enough of our core texts...) but yeah I came across one about the chi of running or something... which was random... I would expect something like that to be in the health sciences library, but in all the time I spent in the HS library I never came across anything at all good, apart from a journal on anal dysfunction... teehee.
