I NEED TO GAIN WEIGHT

[[JT]]

Ive started some distance running. Don't know why. Something about beating times is pretty motivating. This aint going to help me gain weight lol.

Still pretty slow though probably compared to Shaun.

5K i'm down to 25:30

Did my first Sun Run (10k) 59 mins
Then did The Long Day Run (10k) at UBC 54 mins

This Sunday i'm doing the Scotiabank Half Marathon (21k). Not sure what a reasonable time to aim for is.

Here's a site that will estimate a reasonable goal time for one race distance based on your results from a different distance.

I put in your time of 54min 10k and came up with a time of 2:00:23 for the half.

That's aggressive. Ok I will aim for under 2 hours.

[nature boy]

holy crap, i can barely fathom sleeping for more than 2 hours, but running for that long? good luck man.

are you running every day?

i think it's awesome that you still know the route.

This week i'll be running everyday and rest friday and saturday.

Ran last night 5km at 24 minutes 58 seconds. Beat the goal I set out for myself! I'm actually quite intimidated by the half marathon, but that'll make me feel that much better when I finish it.

i'll start posting my runs.

Get a GPS / Heartrate Watch computer and join Strava.com (free) ... much better tracking and training.
