Superfuture Running Club

[jbanger]

was away for work the past couple of days, 400km from home in the middle of nowhere, went for a run this morning in the bush with the kangaroos, stumpy lizards etc and was just about to post the pics but i guess i'll wait now?

[Mr.Sander]

Damn, I couldn't go this morning, mixing uni stuff/part-time job/friends/blogging/music/shit/.... and running I need to organise my days better than this.

 

Bring it on 6am (no choice my day is too long to go in the evening) run tomorrowwwwww. 

 

How do you motivate yourself when you are really tired and went to bed late (even if you did not want to haha)?

[jbanger]

Motivation? Apart from the obvious feel good feelings afterwards, keeping track of everything on Endomondo has really helped me to keep motivated. Prior to starting running 3-4 months ago (after doing pretty much nothing since a shoulder recon in 2001) I can honestly say I never had any interest whatsoever in running. Even when I was playing a high level of team sport for 10+ years, the old 3km timetrial was max. distance for me, however things have changed now and (for me at least) Endomondo helps keep me motivated as I like seeing the progress, times come down, distances go up etc. 

[Mr.Sander]

Just back form mine, I use NIke+ as Endomondo fucked up the first-3-times I used it, and sadly today I used my camera to take few pic for the instagram thing, and it put on hold my workout ... so I'm a bit sad, anyway you're right and I said it earlier, the feeling after a run worths the run.

haha no tru you're the man for the job! 

 

Plus ordo ran a week on the gram a little while back. 

[ordo]

I have been mostly running in the dark these days and have only emerged into the light on weekends due to the days growing shorter. I do have quite a large backlog of un-posted shots so I could send something off I am sure.

[Mr.Sander]

I'm tempted to take my x10 with me tomorrow morning now, to avoid shit iPhone pic.

 

How do you do? Iphone? Camera? Eyes?

[ordo]

I just run with my iphone - nothing fancy. I get a lot of flack for taking pictures while running so I have cut back mostly to stopping points.

[jbanger]

iphone here too, definitely no good in the dark ordo 

 

just upped some pics in a folder too jack

I just uploaded few shots I tried last week, backcountry in England ... not really excited :! I'll make the most of it dont worry!

[Rob060]

renewed my soccer reffing license last month and have been doing 6-7 games each weekend. wasn't expecting it to take such a toll on my knees from the hours of standing. the first weekend was brutal and i was sore for most of the week after, so i haven't been able to run much on the week days but i'm getting back into now that i've been doing for a month or so. it does give me a bit of a sprinting work out, which i've needed and haven't really done much of since i've not been playing recently. it comes out to about 10-13 miles a weekend from the data on my garmin. it's funny to look at on the map because i've just been the assistant referee in every game, running on a 50x2 yard strip of grass on the sideline, so it's just a bunch of scribbles going back and forth.

[its always cloudy]

[Mr.Sander]

idk what happened, i was bored tonight nothing to do on a saturday night (wtf really) so i went for a run , i just got back, last an hour ... and I can say it, i am very proud to achieved this after a very long/hard break , i felt that the pb still from my right kneel but it went well and I could have gone for more, i wanted to. But one thing at at a time. 

 

I took some pictures for the instaweek

[its always cloudy]

3:59:40.

 

20 seconds shy of my projected time. Couldn't be happier. Got pretty emotional at the 36km (like seriously on the verge of tears type shit i'm just #honest) but pushed through. So happy. I'm gonna continue running, and try for Boston one day.

[herpsky]

i used to run ~5 miles / day but i've been on a break for the past month. my knees have been hurting since i went on a 6 mile run a couple of days after i changed my running form. 

 

 my cadence was too low and was constantly doing "heel-first" so i decided to up the cadence, which supposedly corrects poor running form. i had been running long distances pretty regularly so i thought it was ok to do my usual distance. i have no idea what happened but i developed weird discomfort in the patella area. took me a month to get over this. anyone had this problem before? with proper running form, shit shouldn't hurt. 

 

i had to ditch nike frees because I was running long distances @ ~7.5 min / mi.

wish i had photos to show but i can't stand carrying anything while running, except my keys. especially a big phone with a 4.7" screen.

 

think i've decided what my next shoe will be. only problem is the company is so small, nobody within 50 miles carries the brand so i'll have to order them without trying them on. :/

[jackg]

^ dangerous move rob! maybe shoot the place you are buying from an email re: sizing/fit etc.

 

Ok club after my extended leave of absence I am back. Going to do the Two Bays 56 in Jan and figured its about time to start logging some kms again! also uni has finally let up a little bit and I will be done completely in around a week.
