FAB CRAP RUNNERS' CLUB

WEEK TWELVE!!!!

MOTTO: We run #LikeAToddlerChasingAPug

Well hello Fab Crap Runners!

It's Week Twelve! I know I confused everyone on the week eleven thread but getting the dates wrong - sorry about that!

29 intrepid people reported progress this week.

EXPLANATION AND ETHOS:

EVERYONE is welcome in the Fab Crap Runners' Club (the crapper the better).

From 1st January, a bunch of Fabbers began improving our fitness through running. None of us were natural athletes (I was a natural couch potato!) but we did it anyway.

FOR COMPLETE BEGINNERS:

"Couch to 5k" (C25K) is a nine-week running programme for absolute beginners, available on various free phone apps (I used Get Running). But you can join this thread to get fit by any means including walking and cycling - all are welcome. If you're expecting to be utterly crap at it (I mean reeeeeeeeeally bad), you're in the right place. Join the thread, tell us what your aim is and we'll cheer you on each week, just for trying.

CRAP BEGINNERS:

Well done for joining the thread! The first step is the hardest and you've done that already! Keep us updated on your progress and cheer the others on. Everyone is welcome - even more so if you think you won't be able to do it. I'll list you here when you join.

Albert in York (How did you do this week?)

_utie91 Newbie! Introducing some cardio into her fitness routine. (Welcome! Lovely to have you here. You say you're crap which makes you one of us!)

MrsTrellis Despite attempting to persuade the FCRC to skip the parkrun and head straight to the pub, Mrs T was bullied into running the bloody thing (and managed it and was proud!)

Nick007 Nick is back! He's hoping to be at the next social. (Glad you're back. How's the running going?)

_ocbig Coaches women (mainly) in cycling and running. (You're irght that we should pause to recognise achievement before moving on).

goodtimes_888 Ran the FCRC parkrun. (Lovely to lay eyes on you at last and admire your backward running)

nerdynympho Did four miles. Aiming to get back to ten per week. (Thanks for posting encouragement. Will we see you at the next social?)

STOP PRESS...STOP PRESS...STOP PRESS... STOP PRESS... STOP PRESS... STOP PRESS

FAB CRAP RUNNERS' CLUB SOCIAL TWO (THE RETURN)!!!!!!!

The first social was a load of fun. We all did the parkrun (some walking, some running - all welcome) and then drank a lot of coffee in the local pub. Due to the success, we're planning two more socials. Please vote for the dates you can do...

3) Possible social in the North. Could people let me know on this thread or by message of they'd like a social in the North (probably somewhere near Leeds). Northerndels and I are talking about pullig one together.

4) WhatsApp group for regular posters - there's a WhatApp group for regular FCRC posters. If you're a regular posted on these threads and you'd like to join, send me your phone number by message.

Really good to meet everyone at the social, and well done to everyone who ran their first parkrun. The coaches’ reward blow jobs were amazing.

I’m still planning on posting “improvers’ advice” every so often with my esteemed fellow coaches but if you’d like advice away from the thread, feel free to pm me.

If you’ve reached any goal, the key is to find another realisable goal. That might be to maintain your running fitness, get faster over 5K, or run further. Probably best to try to keep running to 3 times a week at the moment, maybe 4...with rest days between runs being a priority...and don’t try to improve too quickly.

Love and kisses,

Moobs (and Boobs)

Well done everyone on your progress!

As Twat said above, keep running (she says from a nice warm bed looking out the window at snow and ice) and find a new goal.

And if you haven't quite yet reached your goal yet (I will not say the "f" word) either readjust your goal or give yourself a bit longer to do it.

Hope to meet more of you at the next social!

I didnt attempt to again after last week, but that wasnt because of having a bad jog. More if a case of needing to sort my head out and the causes.... after the few days of hibernating last week, hopefully i will be back at it this week feeling happier.

Reporting in

I have gone backwards because of work, being ill and this bad weather but last week i got out twice, i tried to do 3 days in one go but decided after 2 that the 3rd wasn't the right thing to do. Today is a swap over day that i would've gone out running but i still don't feel up to it so I'm gradually getting back to it and will do my 3 runs on my days off next week. I don't feel I've failed as I'm still going out

i have put my mindset back to a few weeks ago and realise that taking 3 weeks off is not the same as a few days off with work so i need to build back up, it'll be quicker than week 1

but its the hills that are knocking me off

Well done everyone

keep on running

I’m still running 3 times a week but my fitness level is obviously marginal. I tried to faster on Friday because my current speed is just under 7 minutes per km. I did 6:45 per km but only lasted about 15 minutes!

I am deeply unfit so should I keep the same pace but try and crack 5k? It means another 5 minutes of running.

Or should I go faster and do Week 3 or something so I can build up my stamina at the faster speed?

I would definitely stick with your comfortable pace, and build up time on your feet. Going too fast too soon is a recipe for injury.

Agreed, but Adam wanted to improve pace and suggested going back to Week 3 to do this. So both steady and longer (as you say) and shorter but SLIGHTLY faster works. Mix and match is my advice...

Shit run this afternoon. Tried a run/walk with a faster run but it was just all bloody wrong. Buggered up my breathing and had to hang on a lamppost with dizziness, I daren’t lie down, A&E was just over the road!

I am taking comfort in the fact that the running bits were faster and fairly long.

Never run straight after a shag...or before actually...and definitely not during (unless you really have to!)

The wind was still a bit blustery this evening so I abandoned the plan to go faster and stuck with doing the 5k. I’m living proof that it’s possible, I survived it

Thanks to all the coaches and supporters here, those blow jobs as a reward certainly helped. I’ve experienced more gobbling than Bernard Matthews

Now you are “free running”...a nice feel. Have you got yourself a GPS watch yet? Very helpful for monitoring pace...

I was doing the unforgivable amongst joggers (I consider myself a jogger not a runner) last night, in that I was running (I know I know jogging) on a machine in the gym, no wind in my hair, no birds singing, no taxi home after getting knackered half way.

Anyway, I had a program set and thought I was doing quite well, 2/3rds in, I accidentally hit the stop button, lost my rhythm and in my pathetic attempts to restart all the data and guff. Grrrrrr

Week 6 run 3 again....22 mins continuous running and i did it, yay go me

and i did it bit more so could be 25 mins lol I've also ran a different route, instead of doing a smaller loop 3 times i decided to run the whole route, 4.6k, its part of my local Park Run

(parkrun is all lowercase

) i suppose all i need to do is register and try and get my arse out of bed and go on a Saturday morning

I few weeks ago i was raring to go for a run but because of nearly a 3 week gap of not running i was at the force myself out point and the only thing that has kept me going is you wonderful people on here

i feel great now and so glad i got out, thanks all for the encouragement and support

I didn't run last week because of the weather. Today I ran my first 5k, 5.7 to be exact. It took me nearly an hour. When I got home I discovered my RED January medal in the post. Great day for it to arrive.

Week 7 run 1.....i didn't run continuously, i ran 22 mins but the last bit was uphill

supposed to be continuous 25 mins but i walked 2-3 mins then ran again for another 6 mins'ish.

Strava says i did 5.3k and my average pace seems to be 8.50/km, I'm happy with that especially when i look over the last few weeks/months

Make a commitment to yourself that you will run tomorrow. Get all your running kit out tonight so all you have to do tomorrow is put it on and head out. Don't leave any room for faffing or making excuses, give yourself every chance to actually get out there and run, and feel good about yourself.

And definitely come to the next parkrun social!

Great going guys and gals, keep it up (ooh er missus

)

I took up running just over a year ago, and struggled to run for more than a few minutes without feeling like I was dying. Joined a local running group, started doing parkrun when I was able, and completed my first half marathon two weeks ago!

So if I can do it, anyone can! It’s great to see you all getting into it. Take things at your own pace, remember that even the slowest runner is still faster than the person sitting on the sofa.

Good luck to everyone doing parkrun tomorrow. I volunteer at ours when I can, and have been asked to be one of the run directors, being in charge

Big responsibility, but seeing the smiles at the end of the run is just fantastic

Have fun!

Yes see a qualified sports physio as soon as possible (definitely not your GP). Ask your local running club for a recommendation. All the other advice is good too, but it’s important you get it assessed, treated and a plan for rehabilitation. It’s worth the time and money to ensure you don’t do more damage.

I decided earlier this week to download the c25k app. After doing my own jogging alongside everyone (but without a plan) for the last 12 weeks, i feel i have come to a stand still.

Dont get me wrong i have seen change from the beginning, from not being able to breathe after 30 seconds jogging and having to walk for minutes to feel i am able to go again. Progress has been made and im happy with that.

So i started from the beginning which would of been impossible before (for me). Ive done week 1 run 1&2 today. 2 was better than 1 although maybe thats because i managed to stay on my feet on run 2 rather than a quick trip to greet the floor and leave my mark

From looking at the weekly plans and what ive done so far. I think week 4 may be where i start to struggle. Perserverance will win though (hopefully)

It is amazing how you can do, I found that I pushed myself because I knew I'd get a breather soon, if I didn't manage it then I'd re-do that one again next time. You will get there

I've found it better with the app and support from here

Luckily there were only ducks around to see me. Ive grazed my hand/knee and ripped my trousers but otherwise ive fine.

I know the others will be one session, id been wide awake since 8 and usually end up out for 45 minutes when i do 5km. So thought id do 2 and the hour seems as i was awake and raring to go. Wont get out again til tuesday evening now anyways.

I once fell over running with a group of running friends, slipped on a kerb and fell face first. So shocked I didn't even put my arms out. Smashed my face in quite badly and my nose is still slightly bent.

I did get up after a minute or so and carry on running

I’ve passed week 9 so just going out 3 times a week and running for 5k now. Surprisingly a few times I’ve staggered to a halt after about 20 minutes but last night I did 5k in 35:37 and sprinted the final 100m

I love ParkRun and if anyone is ever visiting Belfast and is looking a running buddy for a parkrun give me a shout.

Keep up the great work, you are all doing fantastic "

All together now, it's parkrun - all one word in lower case...

Yes the community here on FAB is good. We all give each other encouragement.

Maybe if you're in England when we do a parkrun social, you could join us?

"What a cool group. I’m an idiot training for an Ironman Whig means I have to run a marathon after swimming 2.4 miles and cycling 112 miles

You’re mad, but serious kudos to you! My mate is doing the Estonia one this year.

I was debating whether to start running or rejoin a gym... The gym won as there is so much more available with the classes and swimming pool too

Did you know there is a "club" for people that do their runs at different parkruns? (50 parkruns at 50 different locations).

The milestone t-shirts can be done at any combination of events. However, most people pick one and become part of the community. Doing 50 or 100 all at different events is difficult because you don't get the community feeling from it (because you are a stranger at every single event).

Got my arse out of bed this morning (volunteered at my parkrun yesterday). 6.3 very hard miles.

I enjoyed my hot cross buns when I got home!
