Me and My Big Mouth
Cock! I’ve signed up for a 10K run - I can’t even be bothered walking to he pub so god knows why running over 6 miles seemed appealing. But we were in the office, we got chatting and thought lets do something absolutely stupid in the name of our masculinity and as a fop to pretend we’re not getting older. Until five minutes ago 10K was an esoteric figure, just a number and then I saw the course map - 10K is still 10K but there a giant hill smack bang in the middle of it! Completely forgot there might be an incline - 10K in the gym may be doable but climbing K2 in the middle less so. Click link below to have a shifty.
Cheers to Andy and Gav for convincing me this would be a great idea (in retrospect I think I may have been the one doing the convincing - I must have been drunk!)

goo luck with it! my advice would be to start training now, build up to 10k and make sure you practice hill sprints

@tam: What do you mean by hill sprints! The first image in my head is pretty painful and makes me feel queasy just at the thought of it!

find a hill… and sprint up it, as many times as you can

haha - I thought there was some special technique to use or some training schedule to follow. Plenty of hills nearby so will give it a blast. TBH running aint too bad except my lungs keep trying to pack in because of the cold - but I;m getting there.
