FAB CRAP RUNNERS' CLUB

WEEK TWO!!!!

MOTTO: We run #LikeAToddlerChasingAPug

Well done you absolutely spectacular bunch of people!

49 people reported progress during Week One. That's 49 of us that took a step towards fitness! The hardest part is done - we've started. We just need to keep going and, in eight weeks time, we'll all be much, much fitter that we were.

EXPLANATION:

If you're unsure what it's all about, the old thread explains (linked to below) but, in short, from 1st January, we're all trying to improve our fitness through "Couch to 5k" (C25K) which is a nine-week running programme for absolute beginners, available on various free phone apps (I'm using Get Running). A few people are getting fit by other means including walking and cycling - all are welcome.

We're all expecting to be utterly crap at it but we're doing it anyway - yay us!

Old thread: https://m.fabswingers.com/forum/lounge/711745

New members are still very welcome - post on this thread and I'll add you to the list next week.

Iceland, but Aldi is closer..

Will be doing my 5th run/jog/walk at lunchtime.

Yesterday I completed a 5 mile cross country yomp in a nearby country park with only one slip up.. literally, it was bloody muddy on the hills... At least no one saw me looking like Bambi on ice trying to get myself back up..

Finally got my backside out of bed at 5.30am this morning to go for a run! Not much but did a mile (or 4 times round a local track), some stretching and exercises as well.

Great to see the positiveness in the group.

For those of you lot that run regularly, what keeps you going? I ran in the army as a young woman (hated it) but was so good I kept getting asked to represent in competitions.

I’ve just started to ‘run’ (fling one foot in front of another for ten seconds then clutch a lamppost for three minutes) again at 57 and I don’t want to give up as I remember that awesome feeling of the ground moving under my feet and I don’t ever want to be old and unfit but what keeps you going?

It’s the promise of a blow job from all the ladies on here. See if you can sort out a similar reward for yourself

If you're a new runner, you should be aiming to run at a pace where you could maintain a conversation with a running partner. If you couldn't do that, you're running too quick! And running too quick too soon is a recipe for getting injured

How on earth can you regulate your breathing if you can chat whilst running? Even when I was doing a mile and a half in under ten minutes I couldn’t chat.

Running raises the heart rate and more oxygen is need to cover that. That means deeper, faster breathing, how is chatting possible?

Absolutely nothing wrong with a power walk, one of the best forms of exercise going. If you jog up to the point you feel you are getting out of breath, then walk until your heart rate comes back under control, then repeat, you will be amazed how quickly the run sections get longer and the walk sections get shorter. And the added bonus is that you'll probably enjoy it more, you'll be less likely to give up 'because it hurts', and you're less likely to get injured.

Speed is irrelevant at this point, it's all about time on your feet, and being consistent in getting out there on a regular basis.

Stick with it and in just a few weeks, you'll be able to look back in amazement at how far you've progressed x

I’m on my feet all the time! I don’t have a car and walk everywhere, not a stroll, a fast, long stride, walk. I used to run for many miles as a teen in the army and I still don’t understand how or why this is possible. Surely the whole point of CV work is to raise you heart rate otherwise what’s the point?

As soon as I jog, even if it’s barely faster than a walk, my muscles need more oxygen so therefor I need my heart to pump more and my lungs to take O2 to those muscles. If I can still chat, I’m simply not working anything.

Please, could you explain the physiology to me because if chatting and running is possible, then I may as well give up all forms of exercise as it’s never going to happen for me.

Speed is irrelevant at this point, it's all about time on your feet, and being consistent in getting out there on a regular basis.

Stick with it and in just a few weeks, you'll be able to look back in amazement at how far you've progressed x

Please, could you explain the physiology to me because if chatting and running is possible, then I may as well give up all forms of exercise as it’s never going to happen for me.

Running at an easy pace improves the aerobic system which is the fundamental underpinning of running performance.

It increases capillary development and allows more oxygen to get to the muscles and more waste to be cleared away.

80% of your running should be at an easy pace according to most coaches.

A mile and a half in under 10 mins makes you a 20 minutes 5k runner or sub 7 minute miler. An easy run should be 75% or less so looking at over 8 minutes per mile. At that level you should be able to talk to someone.

I can PM you a link to a couple of articles if you want to read more depth. It isn’t impossible but it does mean ignoring the watch and running based on how you feel.

I think that's about what I'm doing for time and distance too. No idea if it's any good but as long as you're not doing the last few minutes on your hands and knees I reckon it's great

Reebok used to have a slogan that was ‘Run at the speed of chat’

Holding a conversation is the correct pace for most runs.

How on earth can you regulate your breathing if you can chat whilst running? Even when I was doing a mile and a half in under ten minutes I couldn’t chat.

Running raises the heart rate and more oxygen is need to cover that. That means deeper, faster breathing, how is chatting possible?

Firstly, you're not allowed to give up, it's against the rules!

Secondly, running and chatting is absolutely possible, for me, you and everyone else reading this. Maybe not now, but if you stick with it, you will get fitter, it will get easier, and you will get there.

I know you might not believe it, and it might seem a distant and impossible goal, but you can achieve it.

10 years go I started running, I still vividly remember my first run, i managed barely 200 yards before i was literally doubled over gasping for breath. At the time, even running for 5 minutes seemed like an impossibility. Roll it on 10 years, and with a bit of stubbornness, determination and "fuck you" attitude towards everyone who said I couldn't do it, I ran 10 ultra marathons last year, ranging from 50k to 100 miles. Not suggesting you want to go that far! But it just illustrates that no goal is too far fetched if you apply yourself and really want it!

So this reply is already too long

, so if youre intetested in the science behind slow running and it's benefits, I can highly recommend philmaffetone.com i followed his training theory, specifically the 180 formula, and that transformed my running and my race times have improved dramatically since, despite doing virtually no speed sessions for a whole year.

Now did I tell you not to give up and stick with it

"For those of you lot that run regularly, what keeps you going? I ran in the army as a young woman (hated it) but was so good I kept getting asked to represent in competitions.

It’s the promise of a blow job from all the ladies on here. See if you can sort out a similar reward for yourself

I really need to get this straight in my head because at the moment it makes NO sense at all.

As a teen and young adult in the army, I ran 1.5 miles in 9.5 minutes. that was just the fitness test. We would run much longer distances and I was often asked to represent in competitions as I was fast, but I hated it. Chatting whilst running was impossible.

If I go any faster than a good, powerful walk, I am unable to chat and that has been like that for years.

How on earth am I supposed to increase my speed to improve my CV capacity if I cannot go faster?

How can I improve my uptake and distribution of O2 if I'm unable to go faster?

I could slow run forever but I wont ever be able to chat through it. I may as well not bother if that's the parameters

we are measuring ourselves by.

I'm no stranger to exercise, just running, and the second I engage in any movement not associated with the normal stuff we all do, my breathing and heart rate increases (as it should) and I CANNOT chat.

I've done four very short runs since last Thursday, mostly a repeated slow jog then a stiff walk. Each time I've managed to do a bit longer on the jog and less walking but there is no way I would be able to talk to anyone and I don't get why we are jogging to improve our health if I wont be able to get past a power walk. I power walk all the time.

I simply don't understand it, I must be missing something massive or I have serious physiology issues.

Please, help me get my head around this.

Topsy I think you're over thinking it too much really.

I've always run at speeds where I can have snippets of conversation through bouts of breathing very hard. The fitter I got the faster I could go but still be able to 'chat' with whoever I was running with.

Perhaps your history means that while you think you are slowing your pace etc you aren't really that much. A lot of fit people I know find it very hard to slow their pace and effort because otherwise they feel as if they are doing nothing.

The take home message should really be that any extra movement someone does is good for them and to keep people interested it needs to feel achievable to begin with.

To be fair a mile and half in under 10 mins is pretty rapid so no wonder you couldn't talk. That's a sub 25 min 5k!

I didn't. I said I have snippets of conversation during a run. I think this is a discussion for another thread personally as it could derail the good work of the OP by people thinking they need to run 8 min miles from the outset.

I think the physiology is fascinating.

For me though, at the moment, I’m building routine and confidence.

I need to know that I CAN find the time to do it.

I CAN face the world in Lycra.

I CAN get my heart going fast and not panic or die.

I CAN go further than I thought I could.

I CAN go further than I could last week.

I need to believe that exercise is possible for people like me. The crap runners. It’s always been for other people.

So, when this has bedded it, I’ll hone my technique but, until then, I’m going to beam with pride because I’m only bloody doing it!!!!

Perhaps it's just not in you to do it. Your description of a stiff walk sounds like my run to be fair lol if you are army trained then maybe your perception of exertion is different from others.

I don't know but I don't think there is anything wrong in either way to be honest. Your obviously still very fit (even for a self confessed old woman

). It's not a requirement to chat and run but for absolute beginners it's not a bad aim to begin with.

They were saying that we should be able to chat and run at the same time. I'm saying this is impossible. I am desperately unfit. My 'running' consists of less than barely 30 seconds before I have to stop and walk, utterly out of breath. I'm lucky in that my army training when I was so young helps me get it back quickly but I am not fit AT ALL.

I'm trying to find out if running and chatting is what we are supposed to be doing, how the devil am I supposed to achieve that when ANYTHING above a good walk renders me speechless. I can't bloody breathe and chat!

Just been reading through the thread. My advice as always is just to “do something, not nothing” and “don’t overdo the intensity or frequency and get enough rest”. If this means you can’t talk when you fast walk or run, so be it. Everyone improves in time, I’ve seen it many times with beginners, improvers, and even more experienced runners. So take heart and have a positive attitude.

Right, back to nurse this damned cold and cuddle my own moobs in bed.

Yes.... I get what you are saying. You can't run and chat. It's not a requirement, just a suggestion. If you can't do it it's not the end of the world but you are coming across as suggesting that others are not putting effort in if they can which is not right or helpful. Apologies if that's not your intention but it's how it reads to me.

Just concentrate on the running, your breathing will regulate itself.... Your body knows it needs oxygen. One tip o got from the NHS podcast was to breath in for 4 steps and out for 4 steps.

Not once have I ever stated that other runners should do the same, that’s the advice given to me and others by those in the know, all I’ve done is asked questions about me and what I’m trying to understand. It was stated by trainers that we should not do anything that renders us incapable of chatting. It wasn’t a suggestion, it was stated as a fact and now you’re telling me it’s a four pace recommendation and I’ve only ever managed two!

I’m trying to find out about my running and so far, I’ve had no answers.

Ladies and gentlemen, everyone is different and a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work. However, we have to start somewhere and be adaptable and flexible if it doesn’t work for us.

As a returning runner, I’m trying to train in the spirit of the “couch to 5K” programme, so 3 times a week but my runs are slightly longer than yours so that I am out of breath by the end of the run bits. I could talk at the start of the run bit, but not by the end, especially if it is uphill and against the wind.

Some people benefit more from shorter, higher intensity exercise, some from longer, lower intensity exercise. When I trained to race, I used a combination of approaches to keep myself fresh and motivated.

Much love to you all, I’m dreaming of all those blow jobs (for the coaches obviously) when you run your 5Ks

Another pre-dawn runner! That’s awesome. You can feel chuffed with yourself all day.

Make sure you drop it into a conversation at work...”it is a clear day isn’t it? I saw lots of stars when I was RUNNING BEFORE DAWN”. Then watch them all stand back in awe.

I prefer the early morning runs for numerous reasons-

- no-one can see me running like a #ToddlerChasingAPug

- I have more energy first thing as me and the couch have a date in the evenings

- it means I can sneak a run in before work or the kids start stirring

Week two run two done!!!!

I definitely didn’t want to go out in the drizzle but I did and it felt great!

For one brief moment I thought I got into a rhythm and didn’t feel so shit. Then that brief glimpse of competence disappeared!

My son came with me. He never stopped talking and climbed three trees as we ran. Humph.

But I managed it.

"Any body on here run for a club "

Considered it, but in the end I decided that running for me is about having the freedom to run when I want, where I want, without the constraints of a club schedule. Also, running on my own rather than in a group gives me that "Me time", which can be hard to find at any other time.

Awesome! Don’t worry about the kid, he’s probably a plant from the Russian marathon team and pumped full of steroids to be that fit

So, haven’t started “Week 2” yet as yesterday was busy with work and, ahem, play...and today I have been in bed with flu. Will be at least a couple of days before my body is ready for a physical challenge, but best to be sensible about these sorts of things and one of the occasions where “do nothing, not something” is better than the other way round. Head cold would be fine, chesty cold or flu - no way - you do more harm than good. At least the moobs are reducing as I’m not eating much

I’ve just done the last run of Week 2 and I’ll tell you something, it seems to be working! I’m not dead yet which is very surprising considering in my school which basically like the Bash Street Kids, I was Fatty (no matter how much I wanted to be Danny. Thank fuck I wasn’t Plug)

To be a PE teacher back in the ‘80s all you basically needed was a sadistic streak and to hell with actually teaching stuff. For the first time I feel like I’ve been taught to run

I will be starting my walking from tomorrow, my car has finally given up (well the fucking screw in the tire that did it and no point in repairing that in comparison of the rest of it!) so as of the morning I’m walking to work and back again.

Well the F part of the couple has been running a couple of times a week recently as part of our NY resolutions (I know, just humour us). I decided to join her this week despite the fact that I think running is for people with far too many lentils in their diet. I was pleasantly surprised! I'm a terrible runner but I kept up!

It's surprisingly easy really, you are only running the same amount of time as week 2, just split differently

Done. I did have to wait for tipping point to finish first though! 13 seconds slower than same 4 mile run on Saturday, and at same average HR, so good and consistent.

Enjoy your run back, but enjoy your day off even more!

Ok. Second martial arts class done. It’s so bloody hard. Nobody wanted to go with the crap newbie (me) and eventually (after that hideous picked-last-for-PE moment) I was paired with a boxer FFS.

Got my arse kicked.

Still, the instructor said I did well (pity I expect) and I’ve learnt how not to cry when I get grabbed.

How often do they meet? And how did you find them? Are you enjoying the group?

Walking a mile is about 15-20 minutes, that’s a great thing to do every day. Hopefully the weather will be ok, not because people aren’t waterproof (we really are) but because it’s a bit grim sitting in damp clothes for a few hours.

Damp knickers are allowed of course, this is still Fab
