Great South Run - Team Training!

May 21, 2009 12:34 by Mel

It's 156 days until the Great South Run (not that we're counting) and the team's training is in full swing!! We've been running 3 times a week and Carole, Rose and Emma even did the Swanmore Fun Run last weekend to test their training, of which, i would like to say a big well done!

We are running the race for our charity of the year Naomi House www.naomihouse.org.uk and we will be setting up a justgiving page for anyone that would like to sponsor us! We'll let you know when it's up and running.

The trainers have been fitted and we've got all the kit so catch up with us on the blog for updates...

All sounds so simple doesn't it!! I have been buidling up my training and can now manage 3 miles without too much trouble - just got to treble this & a bit more then!!! We will get there - it's a great cause, and it's a lovely feeling to be gettign fitter - watch this space!

Emma

June 10. 2009 12:38

This week hasn't been great, i must admit! Only managed to get out once but i did run 3 miles in 21 min!!

Emma

June 10. 2009 12:39

Going for a run tonight after work but it's warm & sunny, does anyone have any tips for keeping cool?

Emma

June 11. 2009 11:16

Ana and I ran 3 miles last night,...... can I just add it was 3 miles from hell!! The hill we came up was steep and endless, then finished off our training session in the gym for another 30 mins.

It's all getting very exciting now, sharing all our training tips, Ana, we need to get up to 4 then 5 miles soon - come on girls we can do it!!!!

Rose

June 15. 2009 10:16

I think we're all doing brilliantly!!! Well Done Rose for getting the first sponsors, we're on our way to raising £2000 for Naomi House, whoop whoop!!

I managed three hilly miles at the weekend, Ten seems a long way off!!!!

Carole Clarke

Ran nearly 7 miles in the pouring rain on Wednesday evening!! That wind is a killer on Southsea seafront!!!

October 25th is coming round far too fast for my liking!!

AmandaN

June 26. 2009 14:34

After running 5 miles on Wednesday, i proceeded to drink lots of Magners and eat lots of cheese. I don't think this is in my training programme!

AmandaN

June 29. 2009 15:12

It's 29th June, October is creeping up a little too fast for my liking!!

I MUST go for a run tonight, haven’t done anything since Wednesday, even though I know I won't be able to breathe when I get back!!

My running partner Ana can't make it, so I’ll have to be a big brave girl and go for it, will try and do 4 miles tonight (bet I don't)……………………..

Rose

July 2. 2009 12:33

Despite the heat i ran 4 miles last night in half an hour, so not bad going, although i did think i was going to pass out! Everyone was looking at me as though i was mad!

Well done to Rose who also went running last night! That's what i call dedication!

July 6. 2009 10:34

I did it, I did it!!

I ran 4 miles on Saturday morning, and to my surprise I felt quite good.............had a shower and didn't move off the sofa for the rest of the day, managed to go out in the evening though and drink too much!

Well..... slowly, slowly, catchy monkey.

Rose

July 6. 2009 10:38

Great weather for running at the weekend manged a run on Saturday and Sunday, three and four miles not sure about the ten!! hopefully will get some training in this week the breeze definetly helps.

Carole Clarke

July 6. 2009 10:41

I've been training lots over the past few weeks but played rounders on Saturday and now i can't move!!

July 8. 2009 10:18

Carole Clarke

July 13. 2009 08:45

Did 4.5 miles on Saturday!! yippeee!

If I went the route I was supposed to go on, I would have done 5.5 miles.............directions are not my strong point, god knows how I got home.

Rose

July 13. 2009 11:02

Manged a rainy wet run on Saturday definetly better than the heat though it doesnt get easier!

Carole Clarke

July 13. 2009 13:59

I have just come back from holiday where I ran....absolutely none!!!

I hurt my achilles tendon before I went away, so nervous about running now!!

Emma

July 13. 2009 14:04

Oh dear, have been very slack recently - not been out running for 2 weeks - best get myself in to geer before rose (aka mickey - rocky's tgravelly voiced trainer) gives me a rollicking!

Ana

July 14. 2009 10:31

Out again last night but have managed to damage my toe!!

Carole Clarke

July 20. 2009 13:34

Got seen by my colleague, was i walking or running? fortunately running, it doesnt get easier any tips would be welcome.

Carole Clarke

July 22. 2009 09:02

Training going well, up to 4.5 miles now, but having to rest today, managed to pull a muscle last Friday in my hip!!

Rose

July 29. 2009 11:26

Went to gym and was pleasantly surprised, the treadmill definetly seemd easier i think the hills are makning an impact.

Carole Clarke

July 30. 2009 09:57

Yahoo! - ran for 5.7 miles last night without stopping, I can't believe it!!

Can't walk this morning though, legs are fine, might need a hip replacement though - ooops!

I'll soldier on, a few painkillers should do the trick.

Rose

July 30. 2009 14:48

The right sized shoes are definetly helping, but they do make my feet look big.

Carole Clarke

July 31. 2009 13:45

I've been very bad this week! I trained on Monday but trained too hard and four days later i'm still walking funny!

Haven't done anything since my mammoth run of 5.7 miles, not only did I hurt my hip (due to the constant pavement pounding) I’ve since managed to put my back out, then to top it all, I caught the top of my leg on a filing cabinet, which really hurts and is now a lovely shade of yellow & green!!

I think I need to rest for a while and start again next week...............I wonder if my health insurance is up to date!!

Rose

August 4. 2009 17:21

I hope they aren't just excuses Mrs O'Brien!! Only joking! I've been slack as well, but i am going spinning tonight, i am, i am, i am!

Amanda1

August 11. 2009 10:01

Did a quick run this morning the kids are at my Mums so no sannies!!

Carole Clarke

August 11. 2009 12:50

I am now officially a poorly pup, been to the Dr's, I've strained part of my stomach muscle that's attached to my pelvic bone
(hence bad hip, 22 July) I can't do ANY exercise for 3-4 weeks!!

Looks like my liver is going to get a bashing.................. pub is only around the corner.

Rose

August 18. 2009 11:38

Well i managed to run even when i was on holiday!! Granted it wasn't very far but i'm trying.

Amanda1

September 4. 2009 13:27

Still got that pain in my side, getting quite worried now, it should have healed by now.........I might need an understudy!! Any offers???

Rose

September 9. 2009 15:11

Rose, you're doing it!! Even if i have to push you round! I have been doing my Pilates classes but no running which is NOT good! Must run this evening.

If someone is going down the wrong road, he doesn't need motivation to speed him up. What he needs is education to turn him around.
