Yep
Four miles on the treadmill this morning. What's next?

The first thing you do is slap yourself for exceeding the mileage
then either tomorrow or the next day do 4 miles.

I was watching Battlestar
3 miles over 42 minutes is taking the piss.

That's tomorrow morning's run planned then, cheers - and after that?

After that, buy the book.

No need
I got me an Al

But al is going to stop telling you what to do after this week.

Yeah, I'll get the book then
Or give up, whichever's cheaper

Rest day then 3 miles, then another rest day, then 5 miles, then a rest day.

And also, get off the treadmill and on to actual ground.

It's COLD

(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 16 Jan 2012, 10:13, Reply)

Running tends to warm you up.

I actually prefer running outside but not when there's frost on the ground
Plus I paid good money for that treadmill

Well, I've been running on the treadmill because I dont' like going out in the cold.
But I run on a gradient.

Same here
on both counts
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 16 Jan 2012, 10:14, Reply)

Oh al! The actual race is cross country - treadmills ain't gonna cut it.
I wore my new lycra leggings this morning and looked like a proper runner and not just like someone going for a jog.

I wore mine in the gym.
But I put another pair of shorts over the top for decencys sake.

Also, I'm not gonna do all my training in the gym, just some of these short runs while it's cold. As soon as it's over 4 miles I get too bored running on a treadmill.

I focused my internal locust on what a cunt the personal trainer was going round touting for business as people were excerising this morning.
I must have been sending out awesome hate vibes as he didn't bother talking to me, which was almost a shame as I was all ready to just tap my earphones and mouth "I can't hear you".

You should have punched him in the face to exercise your upper arm muscles.

i ran without headphones this morning so I could concentrate on my technique.
It was okay but it was only 3 miles. Can't imagine 18 miles with no music.
( crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Mon 16 Jan 2012, 10:26, Reply)

I've been working on my breathing
doing 2 in, 2 out. It's working well actually and I'm concentrating on keeping my shoulders down and my arms loose.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 16 Jan 2012, 10:28, Reply)

Yeah this brings me to a very serious point
If I run outdoors I have music on, if indoors I watch a DVD. The prospect of running 26 miles without anything to distract me but pretty views and snatched conversation between gasping for breath abhors me.

What you do right, is every say ten minutes or so
you drop back a bit and have nice look at CHCBs arse, then you realise it's not doing anything for you so you look at my arse instead and then the shame and revulsion at living in the closet makes you push harder to get ahead of us.

Let's be honest
We're all going to spend the whole run thinking of the most inventive way to amusingly describe Monty's poverty

That might be your intention
but both al and I will be wearing lycra. Lycra.
