thplinth Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) Get some 'Before & After' pics posted. Based on your current weight you have lost well over 50% of your body weight. You are half the man you were Cove but this time it is not a bad a thing it is the best thing. You must feel like a ballerina moving about compared to your previous self. edit: Think how much strain you have taken off your heart not having to circulate all that dead weight? Amazing.

Parklife Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Enjoyed my run tonight. It seems the intervals i've been doing on the treadmill (mainly to get more out my runs, in less time (as treadmills are mind-numbingly dull)) have really helped get my pace down. Was previously averaging around 7:15/mile but on my run tonight i was at 6:49/mile. Was only a 5 mile run but i'm hopeful of pushing on with this pace to a 10k. If i can get under 42 mins for my 10k then i'll think about doing a half marathon. I've no interest in doing one if i'm not going to be close to 1 hr 30 mins.

Donaldo87 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Amazing cove. Well done fella. I'm keeping an eye on registering for a triathlon next summer. Maybe even the London one. Hopefully I could actually become a competent swimmer over the winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgowmancity Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Baby Cove challenged me at the weekend to do next year's half. I'm curious, but don't think it would be possible. Just meet them in the pub afterwards, it's easier For the record that is not the same three people in both photos. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cove_Sheep Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Just meet them in the pub afterwards, it's easier Surely as it's not YOU that Stewart challenged, you should just tell Geo that you are happy to meet him in the pub afterwards too?

scot scotland scottish Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 Yep. Edinburgh in May. On my birthday actually. I'm doing it too and will also be my first. I think I actually met you in Prague at the friendly game a few years ago (you were a bit more recognisable back then if you don't mind me saying!). Wouldn't recognise you anymore now though!! Amazing effort of which you should be very proud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
in5omniac Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 So 14 days ago I got a new marathon pb at Loch Ness, 3:44:55. Today I beat it by 19 seconds at the Yorkshire marathon with a time of 3:44:36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deedee Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I just ran 8km after not running at all for about 6 months. Tomorrow could be painful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Bob Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Good luck Kennit. Planning on a short run tomorrow (30-60mins) after being out with a groin strain for a month. Had thought of the Jedburgh half marathon on Sunday next week but don't think I will be in a fit state for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostZapper Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I did the Berlin Marathon a few weeks ago, and was an incredible experience! - Like many, I got knocked back for the 2014 London Marathon, so applied for Berlin and got in! The heat was a killer, and I struggled the last 8 miles, but enjoyed most of it - box ticked, and now to find a different challenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
