Q: Why does it take 300 million (male) sperm to fertilise one egg?
A: Not one of them will stop and ask directions.
Goose Fact #2: "Hearing the call of the wild geese, some of the tame geese on the ground start to run along, beating their wings, crying out in awkward, confused disorder – but they are just mimicking the flying birds, they never lift off."
Your friends will need heaps of encouragement when they start a fitness program. Be patient; and be persistent, domesticated geese don't turn wild overnight!
The BBQ Stakes 6k is a really good measure of how my hammy recovery is progressing or not. Just the fact that I can finish the run, albeit somewhat slowly, means there is light at the end of the tunnel. Seems a darned long tunnel , but.
This week Roger ran ~26:48, Helen ~27:12, and I ran ~29:00. Compared with last week, I was genuinely surprised, I thought things had worsened. I was only a tad* slower. So, chin up and run on!
Helen was significantly faster than last week. Roger always amazes; he shouldn't have recovered from the Bush Capital marathon, yet has not slowed down at all.
Running Secret #3: Run twice a day instead of once a day.
If you have been running daily and seem to have reached a plateau, your next breakthrough will happen when you run 6 or 7km in the morning, slowly, following up later in the day with your normal longer and speedier running.
The principle is, step up to the next level, whatever that might be. For example if you are used to going out three days a week, consider adding a fourth.
Secret #1 180bpm
Secret #2 Lydiard style training
Secret #3 Twice a day
That early morning run/jog/fast walk can make all the difference.
*10 seconds = 1 tad
