Run slower ffs.

Lol - this might sound weird but i really can't unless i drop to a walk or start going in slow-motion a la baywatch.

In other news, weighed myself this morning for first time since just after xmas (had obv put a few lbs back on). Down to 9st 8lbs showing a total loss of 7.5lb since starting moving

Bollocks.  If you're running at about 10 min/mile pace you can easily run at 12 min/mile pace.  That'd help you be able to run for longer.  Then when you've got used to running for more 30-60mins, you can then increase the pace.

no need for that!  OK, let me rephrase.  I don't know how to slow it down.  as it is I am jogging as slowly as I can without walking.  I don't know how to adapt my form/stride/whatever I am doing to make it slower so if I really need to slow down (which I'm not entirely sure I do because other people I have spoken to have said my current pace is fine) I will need someone to watch me run and tell me how to do it.

You slow down by either reducing the length of your stride, or reducing the cadence.

Thanks.

It's ok though i'm getting some advice from a nice man on a running forum who appears to be able to give it without being incredibly patronising

[kinboshi]

That's OK then, love.

Missed 'Joggers nipple' joke opportunity imo.

having lost a fair bit of enthusiasm since the xmas slump, it's not taken a lot for me to talk myself out of the odd session.

Tonight I was this >--< close to just staying inside in the warm.  Soooo glad I didn't though - yes it was bloody freezing, but had what I think was easily my most comfortable run yet.  Two barriers broken tonight too - my first >30min run, and also my first >3mile run. 

feeling dead chuffed with myself now (go me - yay!), and rather than being glad the run is over I can't wait to get out again now

Keep at it Clare. I like my burds to be fit, even if it does make them harder to catch.

Good job you're running the marathon and not the steeplechase.

I can't find one of mine.  It's ok though, because the ones I nicked off Holdy in the 'most elaborate ruse to nick a pair of socks ever' are pretty good for running in too it turns out.
