Ok.
The other day, while fighting off grey clouds and squeezing out 8 miles, I got a call from Charlie.
He wanted me to take over the leading of the Tortoise group.
Sure. I…

Last Week Was Terrible For Me...
…Aside from the 3 runs I did and the bike-ride yesterday I didn’t treat my body well at all. Too much eating out and not enough water. I had a lot of birthdays to attend this month and I “indulged” a bit too much for my friends. I let the fat kid out! He’ll be locked up now until my Birthday, I promise!
The key thing is that I don’t let that get me down and...

The Tuesday RDC Session
Tuesday marked our last day at the Mile End Stadium and we return to 1948 next week so we had an epic run planned. It was a liesurely 13k from the Stadium to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich Park! Easy right?!
So we set off, the Run Dem Crew all as one! Taking up a ridiculous amount of canal space for half a mile or so to Limehouse and then we split up into our respective groups. Some of the...
Why Do We Do It?
Simple question, right? Why do we do what we do? Why do I wake up in the morning and go for a run, bike ride or swim later on that day? It’s a question that I’ve been asking myself a lot lately.
When I started the blog last year I wanted to help people, particularly people like me, overweight and out and of shape. I set myself a goal. That goal was to lose weight and get fit....

My First RDC Youngers Experience Pt. 3
It started off with about 7 or 8 of us in the group with Mark (of 2nd Drop Records) leading it, the Elite nutter! In the first few minutes I remember turning to Atticus and saying, “Why do I get the feeling that I’m going to regret this soon?!”. Mark said it was alright for us to slow down and join another group if the pace was too fast and we did that in due time.
I was...

My First RDC Youngers Experience Pt. 2
So the other groups set off whilst us and our mentors which bridgetminamore so perfectly summed up introduced themselves as we lined up on a wall outside Mile End’s running track. They’re a great group of people and it’s nice to talk to people when you can genuinely sense that they actually want to help you. It’s a fantastic feeling knowing that someone is really on your...

My First RDC Youngers Experience Pt. 1
It was a great 2 hours. I saw the same faces around me, the same ones sitting with me last Thursday at Nike’s HQ…But this time, we were all dressed very different because we were here to RUN!
We all met up by the conventional means. Some people rode in, others walked / ran, me and my friend hidden-agenda’s drove in. I think most of the RDC Youngers actually got train, met...

Yesterday I went for my first run with Run Dem Crew.
…it was amazing.
I actually don’t think I can describe how much I enjoyed myself. I really did! Who knew? Running with a crew is definitley the way forward. I know it’s very, very early days yet, but I feel a bit like these people & this…
Introducing Bridget Minamore, new to tumblr and a part of the RDC Youngers!...
You Know What I Love...
…About when I’m just about to finish a run? The sprint finish! I can forget about controlling my breathing and focusing on my pace and just forget about all of that and just fly for a few 100 metres…
So yeah, forget and fly!

Run Dem Crew & RDC Youngers (Part 2)
So the near 5 hour day at Nike with me and the rest of the RDC Youngers consisted of many things and by the end of the day we knew a lot more about each other than we did at 12:30 that day anyway.
We introduced ourselves, names and area’s were exchanged across the room whilst we ate small sandwiches and drank water…(we moved onto the fizzy drinks later in the day). Most of us were...

Run Dem Crew & RDC Youngers
So, Run Dem Crew or RDC…First and foremost, it’s not a running club! Charlie Dark would kill me if I said it was surely!
Anyway, RDC is a crew! A group of creative and inspirational individuals that come together every Tuesday to hit the streets of London the only way they know how, by running! Fellow fitblr CANDICE is a part of the crew and I’ve had the pleasure of meeting...

So, How Did My 10K Run Go?
Well I did my 10k on Sunday, it went great! I knocked 4 seconds off my old PB so I’m really happy with that, I no longer have that thought of not being as, “fit” as I used to be.
The official race times had me coming in a minute quicker than what I noted on my stopwatch but I know there was no way I started my stopwatch that late. Out of all the 187 runners I came 55th! I was...

So My 10k is Tomorrow!
I’ll be honest, I’m nervous and excited at the same time. I know I can run the distance well but will I hit my PB? If the experience from last year is anything to go by then I know I’ll be running on willpower and adrenaline too! I’m fit and ready for this so I guess it’s normal to be worried before any sort of event right?
On another note, I cleared out my...

I barely reblog, but this is awesome
kyliefrost asked: Thanks so much for the "My iPod died" support. I think you're hugely brave to run without the tunes... I don't know if I could do it... but you've inspired me - I'll give it a go the next time I put my shoes on for a local dash about the forest. Cheers! :)

The Tortoise With No Hair.: RACE DAY FOR DUMMIES →
thetortoisewithnohair:
Remember I told you lessons were learned at our first race?
Well, we have compiled a list of do’s and don’ts.
DO train solidly. When you think you can’t train anymore, train some more. Sure your tired, your ankle hurts, it’s raining, it’s girltime >_< We don’t care. ‘Train hard Run Easy’…
Awesome advice, just replace each time she says...
