Is there a general running thread?

[Sirzy]

I am pretty new to running (started in Septmember) but have some pretty ambitious targets in 2014 (10k and half marathon) so looking for other runners to advice, kick up the backside and generally chat about all things running.

I have seen a few couch to 5k threads but I didn't get on with that so can't use those threads so thought a thread for all runners whether they are new to it or experienced runners would be good?

Yay! sounds like a plan Fishandjam

Well done to all the hm runners - sounds like tough conditions. Glad it didn't put you off!

I think nutrition is definitely a factor, I took a banana which I ate just as we arrived. I stopped drinking about 10 too, I don't drink when I train but so many people say you must drink while racing that I do. I didn't have my next jelly baby as the water made me feel so sick so perhaps that little boost may have kept me going. Definitely helped dh knew the way!

Good luck with your hour fishandjam :)
