Loads of fitties in my gym. Loads. It's right next to a student halls.
Someone nicked my bottle of water before though, couldn't believe it. That didn't even happen in Birkenhead FFS!

Did the Liverpool MoRun 10K on Saturday, got 42:05 finshed 13th out of 361, proper buzzing!! That was the fastest race i've done by far, was dying by the end of it, i'm gonna enter the Liverpool half marathon next. Start training for it after Christmas.

Slowly getting back into doing weights via my mini home gym in my garage. Will probably never get to the heights I got to in 3rd year of uni but it'll be nice to try. Difficult without a partner to push you on.

Been on creatine for a few weeks now and I'm definitely noticing the difference. I'm building strength faster than ever before.

You are taking a week off right ? Every 4 weeks or so ?
Thanks mate! Your 47:55 is quick though, anything under 50 minutes is something good to work on.

I would say all times are good to work on. Everyone has to start somewhere and so any novice runner looking at these times, could be intimidated by them. All times are good to work on

Absolutely. Consistency is the key. If you are seriously training for a race or with the purpose of seeing some real improvement then having a training log is the most important thing you can do. You don't need to hammer it all the time or run stupid mileage, just keep it consistent 3-4 times a week and you will see gradual improvement. Looking back at my logs this time last year I was doing a deathly slow 12:30min/mile @ 148HR, now I have improved down to 10:00min/mile at the same heart rate, simply by consistent training 3-4 times each week. Even now that we are in winter training and I am doing fewer miles than in summer, I'm still seeing slow improvement.
My goal for next year is to improve down to 9:00min/mile at the same heart rate. The human body is an absolute marvel of adaptability.. if give it the appropriate stimulus and allow it to recover then it will always grow back stronger and stronger.. it's nature's mechanism that ensures our survival and our ability to thrive.
Indeed, it doesn't really matter where you are, just give it the best you can. Whether you're fast or slow, fat or thin, all any of us can do is our best.
As for me, lots of turbo work at this time of year, with usually around 6-8 hours on it per week. Really not a fan of winter at all. If you head out the weather is often awful, and then you've got the faff of cleaning the bike after each ride. Roll on summer.
