Let's try again...
-
<p>A bloke I know who has done it before said it'll be crap starting in my group because I'll probably be zig-zagging in amongst the slow people.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>That is on the money. I did a 10km race a couple of years ago and missed out on my target time (sub 50min). Mainly due to the first 2km or so being a obstacle course! Doesn't give you a chance to get into your rhythm and kind of sucks (especially if walkers get mixed in... raggh!!)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So you either want to fight it out and start in the front, or wait a bit and then start - if you have that tracker on your shoe you'll get an accurate time. Might be the track/course is a bit wider than the one I ran so you can avoid folk easier.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Or you could just trip the bastards!</p> -
<p>I'm in the last group leaving prior to the "walk/fun run" so hopefully the athletes are finished by then and I can hit my planned 6 minute/km timing. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'll have the phone with me to do a GPS time as well so will be interesting to compare the two.</p> -

I hate autocorrect ... -
<p>Nice one mate!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have you seen the spartacus workouts? Circuits of 10 exercises for 1 min each and all stuff you can do with limited weights at home etc. A couple of my mates ave been doing them and have cut up well on them. Might give them a go myself.</p> -
<p>I've been adding a 50m run in between sets at the moment, starting with legs and the run in between is a killer which makes the whole workout tough!</p>
-
<p>Argh fuck - at karate last night I started to feel a bit of the tickle in the back of the throat and sure enough, today I woke up feeling like shit. Sinus pain, headache, general lethargy, and runny nose. Fucking kids brought it home from school I think.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hopefully today at home will help set it right, but means no running probably until Friday at the earliest, and maybe not even then.</p> -
<p>yeah bro, take it easy on the cardio if you have a flu/cold. Reckon you can still sneak some light weights in but cardio ain't a good match for that sort of illness. Your event is coming up soon though isn't it??</p>
-
<p>my tried and true (for me) way to avoid illness is when I feel the slightest hint of anything coming, I ensure I get through at least 3L of water (usually 4L) I have had 1 sick day in the past 5 years...</p>
