Seres is not a man !
well the last time i checked anyway !
Pilates is not that popular with some blokes but its tough no matter what the gender .Keep up the log , you'll get great support and encouragement on here . If you're logging all your sessions you wont be inclined to dodge any or go too soft on yourself , the boardsies will be checkin up on ya !:pac::)0 -

ya sure you could , i've often done it on the same day as a speed session , prob better do the speed first though . The pilates involves alot of stomach work to strenghten up your core area for more efficient running . It also strenghtens up your glutes too . I started it cause i got a running injury training for the half . The class will prob be full of women but give it 2 months at it and you will notice a difference in your core strenght .bart simpson wrote: »Thanks seres in what way is it tough? like could you do a speed session and a class on the same day if you had to?
I say you could give that 10k pb a good rattle , my pb is 38.50 and i wouldnt be near 3hr for the marathon id say .0 -

i would not read much into 400s on wednesday at all, everyone knows 100-800m is the younger mans game, but i do think i have a 50% chance of doing it in ballycotton, and there is always mallow to try again after that if i dont.village runner wrote: »Glad you started a log.

Your best strength has to be your mental toughness.
You have come along way since last feb. I rem pacing a few lads for sub 65 and we lost you at seven. You used to use my maratohn pace runs at your tempos. Its gone full circle.
Will you break 60 ?? Before wed session i would have said your were 10/1 but after that i reckon you are alot better than you think. I would review a bit of that program if i was you. Get used to 6.05 pace and see how you feel. Get a few pbs under your belt early in the year.
I remember doing a maratohn pace run with ye 7 weeks ago when beer feiced you up. You lasted 2 miles i reckon. The other lad said you wouldnt break it. I replied if he finished in front of you he would break 3. He didnt.
Breaking the hour is tough but if you have a chance going up the hill your mental toughness will count for alot. For the first time ever i now wouldnt be sure of beating you in a race. You have motivated me too with the log.
yeah i remember that marathon pace run, i wasnt right at all that day, it was like i was running on tar, i managed 10 with ye, but it felt like a full on race.
im still way off your race paces and staminia, the only way id beat you is if you started coming back to me and i wouldnt take satisfaction in that, and im sure it would nearly kill you!..so i dont see that happening 0 -
thanks a lot Seres, it something that i was thinking of doing, but needed someone to tell me to do it, its actually a men only class so yoga/pilates must be becoming more fashable with us menfolk!ya sure you could , i've often done it on the same day as a speed session , prob better do the speed first though . The pilates involves alot of stomach work to strenghten up your core area for more efficient running . It also strenghtens up your glutes too . I started it cause i got a running injury training for the half . The class will prob be full of women but give it 2 months at it and you will notice a difference in your core strenght .

thanks again 0 -

Running needs will prioritise as you progress with the sessions . You will be less inclined to do stuff thats bad for your body and training once you start investing time and effort in the running . This always happens to me . Drink is a killer alright and you prob will feel more guilty if you have to log it too.
Im doin the pilates two years now and my best advice to you is forget the breathing for now it will come naturally after you start becoming accustomed to naturally engaging you core .
If you want a tip on engaging the core let me know .
Fairplay to ya for starting it up .
yeah i hope i will smartin up when i put more effort in, i usually do, xmas is a bit of a worry!, but i enjoy the challenge of good sessions and if i can see good improvement it will be all worth it. yeah any tips would be great seres thanks 0 -
Wednesday 30th November
7.5 miles @ 8.04mm some easy running on a hilly loop in the local park, wet and windy day but enjoyed it all the same, i must do some more running in the park, it has some good hills in it and the surface is not as hard as tarmac, also i was able to hear bruce springsteen, most of my routes are beside traffic
did about 15 minutes of stretching when i finished
7.5 miles @ 8.04mm0 -
