2015 Running Thread Part 6

8.1 miles to add from this week so far 151.58. An ok parkrun today. Not the fastest ever but it was hot and my first mile was speedy.

Difficult one Anglaise. Is there one you would prefer or both pretty much equal? Makes it hard knowing that the rest of the day will be written off too. Maybe see what the weather is like tomorrow morning before final decision (but I'm guessing you really want to run them both!)

OhOne that is really interesting seeing the beginnings of the thread, thanks for the link

5.64 from me and DS1 this morning under grey skies with a cool breeze. Got home just before the rain started.
137.82 + 5.64 = 143.46

That's a tricky one Anglaise, I've found that running in the heat leaves me disproportionately wiped out the next day and that's running at a slowish easy pace so I'd be worried about the impact on my health / immune system if I had to push myself.

Wrt stomach problems do you find that the likelihood or severity increases in line with the length of the run?

If so could it be related to the length of time that the gut is 'shut down' (because with high intensity exercise most of the blood supply is needed for the working muscles and so is diverted away from the viscera) ?

Wow! Can't believe I've been posting that long OhOneOhTwoOhThree! Lovely reading my first post

can you use an itunes app?
that way you'd have access to all the podcasts which can be downloaded via itunes.

(I don't have an iphone so I may not be the best guide!)

A play list, that's what I need. Thanks suzanne.

I can see where I've been going wrong. I've been using the BBC iplayer app, which just plays one show at a time. I've just found the podcasts page and am having a peruse.

I managed 86 miles last month but have so far done none this month!

Looking forward to parkrun tomorrow

is it possible to make a play list of pod casts Ann?

I use an ipod shuffle, usually clip to the waist band of my shorts so it's just a matter of finding the teeny little button to press which makes it go through a spoken menu of whats stored on there

3.5 miles from me last night.

129.12

I'm going to have to spend some time working my iPhone out. I get in a right pickle, trying to set MapMyRun and iplayer when I start, without accidentally pausing MMR with my bottom after about 10 metres And then trying to stop MMR quickly when I finish. And when the News Quiz finishes I have to run in silence because I can't handle the faff of putting something else on I'm clearly doing it all wrong.

11.57 from me today

=126.07

not as hot and rather windier than I anticipated!

podcast thread here may be worth a read:
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/2412980-Can-anyone-recommend-a-good-pod-cast?

comedy I like Richard Herring and Frank SKinner, I tend to browse itunes regularly looking for new ones, there really is something for every taste and interest!

Progression run this morning, hotter than expected so got very pink! Thank God for cold showers!
The only radio4 comedy podcast I have is the news quiz, but it's not very long. Otherwise I listen to women's hour, which handily keeps going into the next episode without stopping, and Start the Week.
114.5

Do any of you have any podcast/radio 4 comedies to recommend? I'm quite new to the podcast thing but like the QI one "No such thing as a Fish" so any recommendations along those lines welcome

2 fast miles last night along with some outdoor strength training with hubby!

110.75

Swimming tonight though, looking forward to that already.

3 with my slow joggers, who have been too fast for me lately but heat brings them down to my level

105.75 + 3 = 108.75

5k training session with our corporate team last night makes 105.75. There is a 30k/43k night race in October that is targeted at corporates and about 40 people from my company do it, so we have weekly training sessions where we hike/run the 5k with the thousands of steps I mentioned before. I was in charge of the session last night so confess it was mainly hiking rather than running. Rest day today and planning a longish run tomorrow.

Hi yes it's lovely having other people to chat to.

I ran today mid to late afternoon. As my mil very kindly came to mind the baby whilst toddler was at nursery. It was so sticky and hot and I stupidly did a route that included 3 rail foot bridges. So just a 3.2 from me today.
Thanks for the link to the original thread I am going to have a look whilst ding the night breast feeds!
boobles I am the same. It just makes it easier to go out and run.

I think there was some same time posting so I think this is now the proper total. Hopefully.
99.45 +3.2=102.65

Am amused by the thought of running along chortling away to R4 comedy. I haven't tried running with headphones yet, I don't think mine would stay in. They don't stay in when I'm sitting still at my desk, let alone running.

Running round the world is definitely a good goal! I've got 3.1 to add from tonight, which won't get us very far but hey, every little helps.

Thanks for the thread history OhOne I hope a fitter, faster version of me is still here chatting in a year or two. I do find it motivating hearing about others runs and what people are up to.

Starving now. Had a banana but it didnt really cut it. The cons of going for a late run after a small tea.

88.22

?Thanks for coming up with the link to the original thread ohoneoh
Thinking maybe we should re name it 'running and weather discussion'
weather is such a big deal for us runners inevitably it's a mainstay of the conversation!

I came here via the parkrun thread, and now these are about the only 2 places I ever post :) Love hearing about the running (and non-running) adventures of everyone, and how welcoming and supportive a place it is. I have even meet a few of the folk here in RL now and everyone is lovely
