First ever half marathon today.

Really pleased I got the distance in but the last 2 miles were agony!

[Langers]

Love it :icon_lol:

But its vital other people know we're better than them.

 

[Wombat del combate]

Exactly. I'm especially looking forward to your imminent shared-to-Facebook posts of you gaily romping along at 4 min/km after eating your own bodyweight in mince pies and quaffing enough Bathams to make mere mortals tremble, Langers.

 

[Langers]

Not happening mate.

I exclusively deal in mins per mile and I hate mince pies.

 

[Wombat del combate]

Pedant. Fine, 6 minutes 26 seconds per mile after eating your own bodyweight in whatever-the-fuck-you-like.

Looking forward to trying my new running shoes tonight: New Balance Vongo (which makes me think "bongo" and thereon "mags". But doesn't everyone?) V2s tonight.

First-ever Strava CR last week. Zing.

 

[Langers]

Thought I might start a TWF Strava club so we can see who's done what.

Basically to be a nosey, competitive bastard. Anyone interested?

I'm guessing it's just for running?

 

[Stan Hullis]

Yeah you can only specify 1 activity type unfortunately. So buy some running shoes you raving velotard. Do what Wombat does.

Most* of my running is done on the trails, have done a couple of road runs this month and it just hurts.

*I say most as I haven't actually been on the trails since September - not withstanding the fact that I am supposed to be doing a 16km trail run through the Highlands in 4 weekends time and can't train for it due to an operation on Thursday.
