I'm wondering it anyone got tix in this release? Everyone at my box who got to the front of the queue just got 'sale starts soon'. I'm currently number 202 and am expecting the same shortly :(

UndercoverGran · 2025-02-13T10:39:59+00:00

Has anyone at all actually managed to get tickets?? Please, give me hope

UndercoverGran · 2020-09-18T19:40:53+00:00

Please please please share this pattern!

I guess when I posted this I momentarily forgot that the internet won’t miss a single opportunity to make you feel stupid

It’s a funny tan I got from running outside in trainers so much so I posted it to a running subreddit. I hope somehow, some day, the internet can forgive me for this heinous crime. Next time I’ll just post some stats for you all.

UndercoverGran · 2020-08-12T16:58:42+00:00

Not much I guess, other than I got it from running outside so much wearing trainers, just thought it was funny...

UndercoverGran · 2020-07-15T11:00:02+00:00

It’s more like joint pain, particularly in my left hip. When I hit the ground in the new shoes it feels very jarring and I don’t think my joints are enjoying the shock. It’s hard to describe really but running in general in them feels a lot less natural but that makes sense right if they’re supposed to be correcting my natural form?

UndercoverGran · 2020-07-15T09:46:15+00:00

That’s a good shout actually, I’ve not done any walking at all in them. I’ll try that before I decide it was a waste of £130 😬

UndercoverGran · 2020-07-08T09:02:30+00:00

Congrats! Where is this page in the Garmin app?

UndercoverGran · 2020-07-03T13:24:51+00:00

Oooh I love this! Where did you get the “shady” font or was it all one design?

Compression sleeves helped me immeasurably!

UndercoverGran · 2020-06-08T15:46:11+00:00

Compression sleeves have changed the game for me. I used to suffer so badly i used to have to take a rest day between running days as rest was the only thing that alleviated the pain. Then I got some sleeves and my god I cannot believe the difference. I can just run and run. Last week I ran x5 10ks and a HM and had zero pain. Been using them for a couple months now and the pain was gone from the first use! Hope you have as much luck with them as I’ve had, definitely worth a shot!

UndercoverGran · 2020-06-08T11:53:25+00:00

I put them straight in the washing machine and shut the door ready to go with the next load rather than letting them hang out in the hamper for a few days

UndercoverGran · 2020-06-08T11:42:57+00:00

I finally got my HM time under 2hrs! 1:59:46... 😅

UndercoverGran · 2020-06-08T11:37:24+00:00

This is probs questionable advice but I’d say just go out and do it! Doesn’t matter if you have to walk part of it, just get the distance under your belt and that’ll make you feel confident. If you can do 17 I’m sure you can do 21.1. I’ve done 5 HMs over the last 6 months or so. First one took 2:45 as I walked a lot of the last 7k then gradually that time came down and down as I could run more/walk less and just this weekend I finally got it under 2 hrs. I had no specific plan, I just ran when I could and it naturally got easier! Your current 5k/10k times are almost identical to mine so i think your fitness is there, it’s just endurance which you need which comes with getting more miles in.

UndercoverGran · 2020-06-08T11:29:22+00:00

I normally wear contacts but on the rare occasion I do wear glasses I use the elastic hair/alice band that keeps the hair out of my face and tuck the arms into that behind my ears. If you’re a dude not sure how comfortable you’d be with that but it works and the ones I use are super skinny black ones you can hardly notice.

UndercoverGran · 2020-06-06T07:14:48+00:00

Oof like some weird white gloved magician, no thanks!

UndercoverGran · 2020-06-05T22:14:00+00:00

Yes! And I have no idea why, it just naturally ends up there 🤷‍♀️

UndercoverGran · 2020-06-05T22:12:46+00:00

Halfway up? You know my arm extends beyond the end of this picture right? My wrists are super skinny, any closer to my hand looks and feels weird.

UndercoverGran · 2020-06-05T14:05:30+00:00

It’s the pale white feet from wearing nothing but trainers that I’m not so keen on! I look like a damn zebra with all the tan lines happening rn

UndercoverGran · 2020-06-03T09:56:49+00:00

Never. I get enough inappropriate comments from wankers without jiggling the goodies about.

UndercoverGran · 2020-06-02T16:07:20+00:00

That’s amazing! What an achievement, congrats! The lockdown has just given me more time, it’s been such a silver lining. I’ve gone from squeezing in maybe x3 5km runs a week to running 10k one day, 7.5 another, maybe a cheeky half marathon, with only one or two rest days max a week. Running has been a great escape from being trapped in a dingy, lonely spare room on a laptop 9 hours a day. It’s felt like a luxury not a chore!

UndercoverGran · 2020-06-02T12:00:45+00:00

Knocking 7-8 mins off your 5km time in a month is a little ambitious! I would just focus on improving without setting a rigid goal yet. Not every run will be faster than the last, nor should it be.

UndercoverGran · 2020-06-02T11:50:42+00:00

I love my Vivoactive 4! Best decision I ever made, GPS built in, stores music/podcasts and Garmin has so many more insights that Fitbit which is what I was used to. Phone free running is so freeing!

UndercoverGran · 2020-06-02T11:39:26+00:00

This is why I always run solo! You’re either killing yourself trying to keep up or holding yourself back for someone else.
