I've been running for 4 weeks now and it's only been the last week I've not had shin splits or ankle ache. So try just sticking at it as it may just be beginner aches

Did my pre army selection test today. Got 9.45 on my mile and half run!

Running while being assessed was totally different my average 1.5 mi run before that was 11.05

I've been running once every two

Days since this post and today i managed to run 1.57 miles in 12:06 my requirement for the infantry is 12:45 for a 1.50 mile run

Finally got my army medical appeal sorted out!!

Now all I have to do is the 1.5 mile run in under 12;45 and am in the British infantry!

Wanted this career since I was 7 now

At the age of 23 it can become a reality can I get a woot woot?

I ran today, for the first time in years for the sake of running. I ran around the local park twice and then put to the in laws to meet my mrs. While I didn't find running itself difficult near the end I struggled for breath even though I felt like I was very slow.

According to zombie run I ran 1.18 miles in 10:45 doing a 6mph pace. As I said though I was quite poofed at the end and needed a good couple of mins to recover.

Does any one know a good pace for a beginner? Also any breathing techniques?

We use exrx as a resource at college in scotland

Running intervals should help

That last video is like a serial killers wet dream O_o

Ground and pounds practical to self defense?

Maybe in the mystical realm where you're attacked by honourable men. Ground > Dangerous land of rock, glass and pain. Straddling some one on the ground > vulnerable from all angles.

Ground is bad! Bad! Unless it's one on one like a square go

I got mugged once for my carry out of drink, well it was me and my pal. (Mind you this was when I weighted 60 kilo wet with out any muscle or martial art experience)

These two guys were moving to walk past us when my friend was hit by a haymaker out of the blue. My first instinct was to protect him so I rugby tackled his attacker to the floor, restrained him and tried to calm the guy down. That was when his pal booted me in the jaw, funny enough it's also that makes me believe knowing how to ground fight is next to useless. After me and my pal got to our feet we started to fight properly.

By that I mean, haymakers, body slams and headbutts. Ultimately the fight broke even and we decided to run for safety before it went too far even if it meant we lost our drink.

Since then though I've felt like I can handle myself and I haven't been intimated by the prospect of a fight especially now I weight a lot more and do boxing. Still in the case of a knife I'll run like the wind.

Congrats!! my little girl is one this month. It'll be the best experiance you'll have

It was a unbroken set, but I did it as a fitness test so once it hit 60 seconds I stopped. No idea if it's my max but it's what I did.

Male

85kilo

42 push ups in 1 min.

All hail the beard.

Just finished The Lord of the Rings and about half way through The Silmarillion. This had to be the third or fourth time I've gone through LotR and the second time reading The Simarillion. So much love for these books

Am struggling with the samarillion I just can't get into it

I-Deleted- changed my mind

It has to be the last one confessor having the final wrap upto such a massive epic tale and I had no idea what to expect I genuinely thought Richard was going to sacrifice himself to kill janang.

I've not read the three sequels yet

Just finished the sword of truth series. Now am without a series

My wife often calls me a sissy because when I get the flu, it's the plagued man flu. Yesterday I had a viral bug I cought off my 11 month old. The child sat there looked at me and went 'Dada sissy" and began to laugh.

Another day I sat and whispered to her day momma is a d*ck my wife came in and right in cue my child said 'dada diok' wasn't the word exactly but her laugh leads me to believe what was intended

I don't know a woman trained in boxing can easily defeat a drunken male. He nose is fragile, the solar plexus is soft and the liver hurts.

I agree that retreat and running is a priority but I'd like to think my fiancée would hit back if struck. Knew a girl who was a amature mma fighter, and a asshole I saw her knock out and choke out men three times her size I saw this 50 kilo girl take down 100kilo doormen.

Women aren't as fragile as the media says

Scoooooootlaaaaaaaand!!!

Won't be long before you're tossing the caber and lifting atlas stones

Let us know what you discover

We all hope for the best for her. Make sure this is a area she can always speak to you about and good luck as the father of a 10 month old girl I can only imagine being caught between protecting her and making sure she defends herself.

Bullies bully for fun. I uses to be a bullie in high school I tripped people up, headbutted pals ect I used my ADHD as an excuse to go wild.

I know from exerperiance the more they react the better, although they very rarely expect the person being bullied to fight back. Going to the school won't prevent them from bullying her a school can't monitor every kid 24/7.

Maybe it was one time thing? If so that's great. But if it isn't do you really want you daughter to take the abuse daily? No? What're you going to do pull her out? That's drastic. Of the bullying continues the only way it can true stop is if she completely ignores them and they get bored or if she hits them and scares them off.

Never start a fight but finish it quickly and move on, don't brag about it or you'll find challengers. Accept that it happened and let it go.
