"WEEK FORTY SEVEN!!!

MOTTO: We run #LikeAToddlerChasingAPug

Hey lovely Fab Crap Runners!

It's Week Forty Seven!!!

How is everyone doing?

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 their fitness through running. None of them were natural athletes but they 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 (Mrs T (not me!) 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.

FOR MORE EXPERIENCED RUNNERS:

Tell us what you’re up to with your running, your training and your races. Let’s us know your highs and lows. Please cheer on the newbies and give advice if they ask.

FCRC SOCIAL PARKRUN

WD is doing a doodle poll to find out where everyone can get to with ease before organising the next social.

https://doodle.com/poll/77nghmke7uwunrwy

Again, it's completely anonymous and you can vote for as many options as you would like.

Hopefully the regions are self-explanatory (Sorry if you think your county should be in a different region!)

AND FINALLY:

Who is working towards a specific goal? Tell us your progress"

Nothing wrong with that, stick at the right level until you feel ready to move on.

You have a nice few weeks until Xmas, ideal time frame to aim for a nice steady non-stop 5k. Then new year, new challenge

Was meant to do my last 10k of the year on Sunday just gone in Coventry. But had a problem with the car so didn't make it and was gutted .. so now going into the maintenance phase for me, running 2 maybe 3x per week between 5-8k, depending on the weather, I will be doing some of it on a treadmill... Will also be concentrated more so on the weights. Over the wintertime.

Have already booked to do a 10k in Leicester and a Half Marathon over in Derby. Might even go down and do a couple of 10ks in London..

I think I’m officially a crap runner convert! After some life upheavals got in the way of training seriously, I decided to get back to the gym today and start at the beginning of couch 2 5k. So happy I did, those endorphins are addictive!!! I’m training for a 10K in May in oxford, so trying to get ahead of the post Christmas curve, and make sure I’m in a better place now than I would be in the new year.

What do people do on the ‘rest’ days? My gym background is strength training, is this ok to do on the off days of c25k? Warm up and cool down on the bike or the elliptical too? Thanks

Any kind of cross training is good, provided it's low impact ie gives your joints time to recover.

Listen to your body though, if you start to feel jaded when you tun, or your performance is going downhill, then lay off for a while and have a proper rest day x

You are right, FCRC is a great motivator

, but I'm just carrying on the thread this week. In WD's absence

It was the great idea of another Mrs T and Adam and I still thank them for getting my lazy butt off of the sofa in January

Well for me I can share my updates with fellow runners some who also struggled at first

A lot of people on my social media timeline run 5km in sub 25 mins and I felt inadequate compared to them

On here i feel that actually a 30-32 min is actually quiet good and that I should be happy.

I try not boast about times on social media for this reason, certainly not in running groups, I;m more likely to say that I was pleased, or best time for weeks/months/years rather than a time.

The people I hate are the ones on running groups who love their humblebrags "Easy 5 mile recovery run for me today" completed with a strava link of 7 minute miles. I just think that they are wankers!

Don’t mate. I have never been a fast runner or a massively long distance runner. I look and think why can’t I do a 25 mins 5km then look at my waistline and realise that’s why....

For me I boast because I think anywhere sub 30 mins for a 5km is a half decent time and if I am doing below 32 then I am doing OK

I remember back when I started running, and feeling intimidated by distances and times that were being posted. I'd look at training plans, and see sessions that started "warm up with an easy 2 miles, then....", and feel totally inadequate.

Hence I've always tried to post sympathetically, and rarely if ever posted about training runs, unless something out of the ordinary happened. If you don't follow me on Strava, you'll rarely know that I've ever even run!

Races though, always post times and distances, cos I know I have plenty of friends who are genuinely interested to know how I've got on. And given that I'm normally in the last 10% of the field, I don't think that can be classed as bragging!

Ultimately though, if you're proud of your performance and want to put it out there, then do it!

I used to run the same. It's easy to rack the miles up especially if you're running four times a week.

I think it's quite widely recognised that high train8ng volumes can hammer your immune system. Need to make sure you are getting enough rest and good quality sleep, and if posdible, no stress in your life!

So for a noob, how often should I aim to jog each week?

During the week my job is very active, walk between 15k & 22k steps each day.

3 times weekly is a good place to start, and not on successive days. Give your joints time to recover as they will be under significantly more stress from running compared to walking

Its a good route. I usually do Reading which is on grass but it gets slippery this time of year. Dinton is on gravelly paths around the lakes. What time do you usually do?

There are, Dinton is usually best this time of year, the others get quite muddy and slippery.

I run 28-30 mins.

Let me know if you run Dinton, maybe we could run together

"Dinton Pastures parkrun this morning, bit wet but sets me up for the weekend

I've just realised there are four in Reading now!

I'm sub-31.

There are, Dinton is usually best this time of year, the others get quite muddy and slippery.

I run 28-30 mins.

Let me know if you run Dinton, maybe we could run together"

I'll let you know if I do.

That's quite an advanced move, sex while cycling!

"Awww thanks guys!

I didn’t enjoy it at the time no but I feel proud for doing it.

Though I have realised its better to not take the dog with me

Well done and welcome

Dogs can either be a huge help or hindrance! Most are easily trained to (I'm led to believe).

Stop & sniff was on the menu today

I felt like a bungee rope.

So for a noob, how often should I aim to jog each week?

During the week my job is very active, walk between 15k & 22k steps each day.

Thanks again guys x

3 times weekly is a good place to start, and not on successive days. Give your joints time to recover as they will be under significantly more stress from running compared to walking

I was thinking every other day so that works well, thanks!"

I try to do three runs in a 7 day period. Also I try to not to run flat out for all 3 runs. So I may either reduce distance or reduce pace

The c25k is a good program and I know a lot that have got on well with it. I find a bit restricted for treadmill runners like myself. So ended up doing my own thing.

When I restarted at the gym I was doing 1.8km in 15 mins and struggling. Now I regularly run between 2.4 and 2.6km with no impact to breath in same period. I also tend to do 4km near enough all the time now

You will get there and also take it slow and steady. No one wants an injury as that can put you back 2 or 3 weeks

One of my fantasies is to be cycling alone on my tandem. A lady calls out asking for a lift on it and we cycle into the countryside and fuck. Not actually on it though
