What was that rule about running when ill, above the chest = fine?

Got a pretty bleak head cold but feel OK body wise

Just under 1h42 for a half marathon this morning, it was supposed to be a 1h45 easy run but felt like taking out some frustration so ditched the plan.

Really pleased, thought I would struggle to do it at all in 1:45 and I wasn't even flat out.

The supporting text is pretty crap to be honest, I just knew I needed to get training so I chose the first plan that sort of applied to me.

Friday calls for Tempo pace too, more confusion.

I'll trying knocking some time off my 'easy' pace and stick to that for the first session, see how I get on. I'm sure i'll soon find out, one way or another

Cheers

Got some more noob questions if you don't mind answering them. So I'm on to the sixth week of the Martin Yelling plan now and Wednesday calls for - 10 mins easy, (60 secs
fast, 2 mins jog recovery) x 8,
10 mins easy = 44 mins.

Would y'all just go by feel and do as fast as you can? or something a bit more scientific maybe

Are there any good facebook groups or something like that to find a houseshare? I'm in a few for Bristol that are invite only and they tend to have the best stuff

Cheers

Cheers, and you @user69121, I wrote a long reply but it's disappeared.

I'm doing the improver one at the minute, it just feels like this plodding along is sucking the speed out my legs. But I'm wondering if that's more of a flexibility issue than anything.

Probably just overthinking it, it's taken over my life a lot more than I expected

This might be a bit of a silly question but I'm into week four of this Martin Yelling marathon plan. The first few weeks have just been 'easy' pace runs but I've basically kept the same pace over the few weeks. Now I've been wondering whether that might have been a bit of an error and I should be pushing it a bit each time?

Into my second week of marathon training and my soleus pain is coming back already, so frustrating.

I'm starting to think I must run like a plum or something. Although when I flex it the pain disappears almost completely, which makes me think it's not just tight?

^ what is a hipster thread

^ It's on Netflix I think, looks horrendous.

I started doing a really physical job about four months ago and completely binned off the running because I was just too knackered. Now it's nearly January and I've realised I've got London in April.

Need to get on a schedule rapidly

Any shots of the Everest?

Blast it on full for the first 15/20 minutes

Eurocarparts are doing 30% off this weekend, includes batteries.

If you've got those in London anyway

Think I might have drained my new battery trying to start it too many times when I was struggling with my alternator woes.

Plausible?

Edit - finally worked out the multimeter and its reading 10.77 on the battery(disconnected). That sound too low to start it? Getting conflicting answers from other google results

Saluki or a cross?

Love them

Loosened the belt and it started right up but it squealed a hell of a lot so I turned it off. It's definitely a looser than before judging by the marks left by the bolts so I think it actually needs tightening?

My first bit of car maintenance didn't go as well as I'd hoped.

Replaced the alternator last night, got a new battery and just went to fire it up. Sounded like it was really struggling to turn over, then it kicked into life but there was a lot of squealing and some smoke as I assume it burnt out. Then the car died.

I wonder if the belt was too lose/tight? Can't see what else it could be

What a feeling. Thanks for the socket tip Fixedwheelnut

Can't drive the bloody thing.

Free car in turning into a massive ball ache shocker

Seicento, who was ever gonna nick these alloys? The outer edge of the bolt is just next to those holes so I reckon there's about a five mil gap to the wheel.

Saw that suggested elsewhere Neil, if I didn't live on a massive hill I'd be tempted

Ok, can't upload a picture. Someone really fucked the lock nut up on my wheel, has anyone had any joy with the removal tools?

Jesus wept

Nah not city mode, I had a 99 punto with that (until it failed spectacularly). There's about three buttons on the dash and two are for the Windows.

Ordered a voltmeter to check but I did find quite a few posts talking about the alternator power steering problem. Pretty sure it's not belt driven and is just all built into the steering column. How difficult is a new alt to fit? Looks relatively simple

Thanks for the help

The Seicento off the last page, it's been sat for at least a year and now trying to get it through an MOT.

I'm just going off the warning light on the dash saying the battery isn't charging correctly, though I guess that could be the battery too
