TheOrange 0 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 It's 2007, and so we need a 2007 jogging thread as CB said. So who's in the jogging club this year? Link to post Share on other sites

gerard 6 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I'm in... but I'm running awfully slowly after a bit of ill health. I hope I qualify! I might have to find a "2007: the year of crawling" thread. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I like jogging when it is cold outside. Getting wrapped up, seeing your breath. I seem to be able to go further in the cold. Link to post Share on other sites
white-void 0 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 2007 is the year I start jogging properly. I am going out 3 or 4 times a week now and doing a modest 3 or 4km. Gambarimasu! Link to post Share on other sites
cheeseman 1 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Cheesewoman and me (myself, I, cheeseman?) are doing some light jogging at the moment. More like fast walking some of the time but... It is good to get out there and be in the parks. I am not keen on my own though. Both of us doing it is good. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I went jogging on Thursday night. Outside. (Pretty amazing considering last year the roads I was running were blocked with 2+ meters of snow) I felt quite good about it actually. (Then got a bad cold on Saturday).

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Had a nice long swim tonight. Clears my head out almost immediately Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Davo, how bout a run up round your place on Sunday (unless its pouring)? Gotta work first thing but could prolly get there around 1. Link to post Share on other sites
r45 4 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 With the less than perfect snow this season so far I have been doing a bit of swimming and really enjoying it. I know whay you mean about clearing the old head - more than jogging. I just really do not like it when there are lots of people around. At the place I go it is quite empty around esa-jikan (5:30-7pm) and so that is when I go. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I went last night around that time r45 - only 3 other people in the pool. Lovely. There were hardly any ripples in the pool which makes for such an effortless workout. Love it Link to post Share on other sites
TheOrange 0 Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 I'm back on my jogging. It isn't that cold out there at all and no ice on the roads... just right. Not doing too bad of late, had an easy 6km last night. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 missed a run with Davo on Sunday but ended up having a really long swim which was awesome. I almost prefer swimming to running nowadays. Had another long workout in the gym yesterday doing the stairmaster and x-country ski machine. Damn crowded yesterday... Orange, have you tried using a heart rate monitor before (im sure this was mentioned in last years thread). I use mine everytime and its the best way to train, IMHO. this has good information for training schedules this is good for learning about pacing excellent info on heart rate monitor training Hopefully the above few links will help 頑張れ！ and not that I expect you to TimTam on buyin a H.R.M. but here are a few really cheap and excellent models http://stores.marathonguide.com/stores/store3/category.cfm?CID=25 Link to post Share on other sites
TheOrange 0 Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 Yes I have been told that and I did nothing. Me bad. I will definitely get on the case this time round. I'm ready (or should I say willing) to take a step up. Link to post Share on other sites
TheOrange 0 Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 Taken a look and taking action! Thanks again for the tips. I hope to report some real improvement in the coming months. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I'm on a roll as well at the moment. Going out 4 nights a week and getting between 5-10km done. It feels good. Link to post Share on other sites
TheOrange 0 Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 It does feel good. I often find if I let it slip for a while (few weeks), it takes me longer to get back up to the same level and can get frustrating. So from now on I'm going to keep it going all year round - even when I am back home. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 >It does feel good. I often find if I let it slip for a while (few weeks), it takes me longer to get back up to the same level and can get frustrating. very similar to people on diets. They start out OK but once you get slack all the progress theyve made is lost - and quite often they put on more weight. working out is similar - consistancy is key (so is moderation so dont be a crackhead like me). thats what my coach always told us in Uni at 5:30am for our morning workouts. Gawd I hated getting up that early (surely FT can post comments on me waking up ) to go workout but learned how to be consistant and discipline. swam 2.5k yest and nobody in the pool Link to post Share on other sites
TheOrange 0 Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 2.5k - how many lengths is that then? Consistency is what I must aim for. I must be consistent. I must be consistent. I just couldn't get up 5:30 every morning, I would be so miseable. I suppose it's different when you are younger (?) Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 50 laps. Ive noticed with my swimming that laps and time are almost the same. If I swim a mile it takes me just around 30 mins, 2000 meters is 40 mins, and 2500 meters is 50 mins - includes warmup and cool down. Orange, reread my post. I hated getting up that early everyday in Uni. It wasnt the easiest on your social life either. Racing most weekends with long trips to all the SEC schools and some ACC schools. Plus, parties are just getting goin around 11 or 12 and its like, well I have to go run in the morning so time for bed - sucked sometimes. But once season was over geeze we through some parties. At the end of T&F season most of the teammates would have naked olympics after a hard session on the booze. That was funny tits and ass, cokc and balls hanging out. Oh yeah, fun times. Had lots of friends on the swim team at uni too - those people have to be the nuttiest of all Link to post Share on other sites
TheOrange 0 Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 Oops, reread Naked Olympics! What were the events? Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 just think of sprinters, mid/long distance and field athletes - each did his/her respective event. There was often quite a crowd watching the Scottish and Icelandic high jumpers for some reason Link to post Share on other sites
