I have a place in the Brid Half on 3 Oct which I can’t now take part in due to issues with recovery from injury 😢. Can transfer up until 27 Sept, can I interest anyone? Cost £23, no reasonable offer refused! #ukrunchat #bridhalf

@mbosano @dobsonprettyg @UKRunChat Throw in some decent snacks and you’re in

[Gemma Hicks @Gemh_85]

@dobsonprettyg @mbosano @UKRunChat Haha, I really dropped on with the equipment from my family member, all of my friends are on the list to use it. I might have to set up some sort of membership plan!!

[Gemma Hicks @Gemh_85]

@mbosano Nothing too exciting, just me out running at 6:30am in Majorca and seeing the nightclubbers just rolling out of the clubs, shirtless, fighting, still drinking etc. My pace was excellent for that section, I wonder why!!

@Louise__Rose Speckles tried to “save” me from my new treadmill yesterday, maybe he got a message to Dora to keep you safe by keeping you on the sofa?? Well played Dora 🐾

@RichardPBurr My boy, Speckles having a quick nap on the bed, where he knows he isn’t allowed!

[Gemma Hicks @Gemh_85]

@davink5 I may have shouted something at the time (he didn’t hear, his windows were shut and I doubt he can lip read!). Feeling fine now, he’s always been a bit of a creep but its the first time I’ve experienced it personally!

@Karenwarlow @UKRunChat @ExhaleCoffee My mum does this with chocolate digestives/chocolate malted milk biscuits. Chocolate to the inside and dunk!

[Gemma Hicks @Gemh_85]

@ExhaleCoffee @stuartjkirk @UKRunChat Yes, I can cope with the odd bad night but any more than 2/3 and I struggle. I tend to suffer periodically with a few days of poor sleep but after a few days get back into my usual routine. I think as long as you balance it out and feel refreshed when you wake it’ll be fine.

[Gemma Hicks @Gemh_85]

@ExhaleCoffee @stuartjkirk @UKRunChat Don’t they say 7-9 hours per night is ideal? I’m a bit of a wuss when it comes to kip so I like to get 8 hours but, anything less than 7 and I’m no body’s friend!

[Gemma Hicks @Gemh_85]

@stuartjkirk @ExhaleCoffee @UKRunChat Absolutely rest (including sleep) is vital! I have at least 1 day completely free from any formal exercise per week!

[Gemma Hicks @Gemh_85]

@stuartjkirk @UKRunChat @ExhaleCoffee Absolutely! Certainly my running club has a range of different characters/attitudes/paces there really is something for everyone, you just need to be brave and go and get involved x

[Gemma Hicks @Gemh_85]

@stuartjkirk @MelRunsForFun @UKRunChat @ExhaleCoffee Me either! I usually do my LSR on a Saturday and need to be out well before 9am to make sure I’m home before dinner time!

@allaboutbalanc1 It’s a full time job, looking stressed!!
