It was only because she wanted to do it, and because she's 14 she has to enter with an adult.

So now I'm charged with training her...should be fun

 

[Steve]

Well I would advise that you make sure you get the right shoes for you, start training slowly, do some speed sessions and hill work when you feel able and joina running club for support............................







HAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHA

ROFL! :d


I'm putting a training schedule together for her later...

 

[Steve]

So when/where is it?

 

[Trinity]

weekend of 17th and 18th May in Bristol... there are races both days and we are entered for the Saturday afternoon 2pm race... quite a civilised time I thought


It starts on the Downs I think

 

[Steve]

Plenty of time then...don't train her too well though...don't want her to out sprint you at the finish do you!!

 

[Trinity]

good point.... I'll modify the schedule, take some of those speed reps out

 

[Steve]

..and make her carry some weights on the day...or tie her laces badly so she has to stop to do them up....

 

[Trinity]

I like your style :d

Us forumites need to stick together and protect ourselves from these whipper snapper youngsters!!

Oh that's great, I would love my mum to take even a little bit of interest in running, if I even so much as mention entering her into a race she gets herself in a right ole fix, she is really anti running as she thinks it takes you over like some crazy cult, which actually is not far off the mark but I wouldn't tell her that

Well Trin you will have to report back with your daughters times.


:d

 

[Steve]

Is Mum in Mittens?

:d

I have the opposite problem... in getting my kids to do some exercise. That's why I didn't put up any resistance to this

I will report on her progress and result at the end

Crazy cult? New name for the forum, perhaps? View attachment 272

My daughter (now 19) entered me and herself for the Sportaid mile a couple of years ago. She doesn't run but is a very good dancer and very fit (tap, ballet, jazz etc.). She was suffering a bit with shin splints at the time and had to walk some of it. Did that stop me giving her stick for being beaten over a mile by her old dad? :d :d :d
