It's good to be back after entry exams and a summer of relaxation. I've finally got GPS, so hopefully it'll give me the determination to get fit again.

good Football 5 mi 01:20 16:00 pace
Two games of football back to back tonight, I'm counting it as speed-work. Actually felt really good after a few days rest.

Root canal treatment this morning meant I wasn't in the mood for a run tonight. That really wasn't fun, in the slightest. At least I've got football tomorrow night to let off some st... read more

RUN
great Trail 6.2 mi 00:53 08:36 pace
So, I decided to ditch a plan, pace, time and distance- and just run through the country-side. There were some incredibly tough hills, puddles the size of lakes and lots of animal 'matter'... read more

Sound like a great route. Sometimes you have to forget about goals and do it for the love of it. Although that pace looks pretty good considering the terrain!

Thanks, you two! I was surprised with the pace too, Adam. I didn't look until after I'd finished (practically dying), but that brought a smile to my face.

good Cycle Track 3 mi 00:26 08:46 pace
I'M BACK (finally)!!! So, I went for my first run in forever tonight. It was dark, relatively cold and flooded everywhere; which was pretty fun. I'm easing myself back into it, so 8 minut... read more

RUN
great 3.1 mi 27:00
First run in what seems an eternity, and it was -1 Celsius out there. But finally, my nose-bleeds seem to have subsided entirely! And my shins feel much better, but I took it pretty easy just in case.

RUN
blah 3.5 mi 00:32 09:08 pace
Horrible run. I had to stop half way through, my shins were in agony. Icing them now, but still feeling pretty deflated about it all.
-
Sorry to hear it Jack. Just rest/stretch them well, give them time then get back out there!

They're practically brand new Adam. I just think it's a combination of never running on concrete before, to running nearly entirely on it, and also increasing mileage too quickly.

Waiting for the sun to come up so I can finally go for a run. It's currently -1c, which is about 30 Fahrenheit. It's pretty cold, considering it's been about 10 degrees recently.

great Football (soccer) 01:15
So I had two football matches (we lost one and drew won) the miles is an absolute guess, but I ran pretty hard for the most part. Nice to be playing football again, it's been FAR too long.

What position do you play? My daughter plays forward. I remember reading an article about how the average midfielder runs between 4 and 6 miles per game...

I play centre-midfield, so probably the position you run most in. But yeah, I'd say about 5 miles is good for an adult 90 minute match.

RUN
good 4 mi 00:36 09:00 pace
First run in what seems an eternity- finally, no nosebleed!
I've also found a new route which has a lot more grass, as I'm trying to take it easy on my knees at the moment.
-
If you have some usual routes you like then just try reversing them. I found this helped my knees - just the different direction and road camber. Great run regardless!

Thanks for the tip Adam! I try to make a new route every week or so, I'm very susceptible to monotony in regimes.

RUN
injured 2 mi 00:17 08:42 pace
Was planning 5mi, but I had a nosebleed at the 2mi mark. Annoying as I was feeling good and slowly easing up the pace.
-
Horrible run today. Was looking forward to it all day, only to look down half-way and see my nose bleeding, again! Hopefully I'm going to the doctor soon, as this is incredibly frustrating.
-
Happened to me a lot as a kid. Vein or something very close to the surface, and it'd crack when it was dry out, especially if I bumped it or something. Pretty simple fix - I think they just close it off. Good luck!

I hope it's something simple Erik. It's just strange that I've never really had nosebleeds, besides from when I've been hit very hard.
Thanks for the advice though, much appreciated.

RUN
great 5k Cycle Track 3.1 mi 00:25 07:59 pace
First run with Nike+, first run of 2012, and a new personal best of 24:53 as well!
Still feel I could shave off a minute or two, fully recovered within 2 minutes.

Great pace Jack. Hope the Nike+ is working out for you. Personally I love my Garmin 405.

Thanks Adam. It appears okay, it was only out by about 100 metres out over 3 miles, and I haven't calibrated it yet- so I'm quite pleased. I would love a Garmin in all honesty, but can't really justify that much of an investment.

All you need is a rough guide really. If you go for a 305 or 405 there not so expensive these days though!

Yeah, the Nike+ isn't super accurate, but it gives me an estimate of current pace, which is hard to gauge purely visually when running along a repetitive cycle track. I'd like to get a hear-rate monitor eventually, just have to wait until my birthday I guess.

The prospect of running at all on New Year's Day doesn't seem very appealing. But, I suppose if I do it I'll feel pretty good with myself, in that I was determined enough to still go out.
