I need a running partner! Anyone keen?

[Dirty_Harri]

Hi Girls and Boys!

I'm training for the Auckland 1/2 at the moment but have recently encountered the obstacle of darkness. I'm not too enthralled by the idea of running alone at night. There are some fraking weirdos out there!

So if you're:

1. a runner
2. live in East Auckland
3 needing a running buddy
4. and most importantly, not a weirdo.

let me know.


Gen. :rockon:

[PirateJafa]

That sounds a bit like exercise! :beer:

[R6_kid]

Do we get to hold hands?

[YellowDog]

Chase me, Chase me - I know a good place!

East Auckland - Running - THATS ME :P

I am in the process of getting fit atm for the air force.. I may be able to assist.

[slofox]

I'd volunteer but No 4 cuts me out...

[sil3nt]

I know someone in the airforce and you really don't need to be that fit!

[1vanvan1]

Yeah, I also know someone who did the recruit course last year. He said it wasn't that bad. But better to be prepared than to go in there being a lazy slob.

[EJK]

Seems you got good number of volunteers. Just do a group run. They can be your personal bodyguards. Cool!

[Dirty_Harri]

Haha sounds like a plan!


Well I typically don't get home until 5.30, so a 6/6.30pm run would be ideal for me. I live in Howick fairly close to O'hagans- nothing stopping us from going for a beer afterwards to undo all the good! ;)

[jrandom]

Done a half before?

What time are you targeting?

The Auckland half course is deceptively slow and undulating. If you want to improve on your PB (and you undoubtedly will), do the Kerikeri half three weeks later. You'll be in better condition and it's a fast course.

And beer is terrible post-training nutrition. But you knew that already.

Also, when you say 'not a weirdo', one presumes that that's girl-code for 'don't expect to get a shag out of this'.

[jrandom]

Might find most of them deciding not to bother after the small clarification in my last post.

:laugh:

[Sparky Bills]

I know some good running/mtb tracks in Kapiti... But that may be a bit far for you.. :Oops:

I thought Aucklanders are all lazy and dont know the meaning of working hard??
Dont tell me there are people out there who actually keep fit!!?

[Gwinch]

Is running during your lunch hour an option? You'll find it much easier on the lungs than breathing traffic polluted colder winter air.

[Cheshire Cat]

Who wants to run when you have 2 wheels :wacko::cold:

[Squiggles]

Fuck that, still getting over the 2008 round the bays.

The last half I ran, I did in 2 hours flat. I'd like a repeat, but I haven't been training much recently so that's unlikely.

I'm not too concerned as to whether or not the boys are under false pretence Jr. They wouldn't have enough stamina for said act after a run with me anyway. ;)

[Patch]

its not the weirdos you'll have to watch out for - its all the leg humpers yappin' at your heels :dodge:

[Dirty_Harri]

That's a good idea Dave and I agree re pollution etc. Unfortunately I like a good hour each run and there just isn't enough time to eat and have a shower before my next patient comes in.

piffle! I'm spoken for so the challenge is out of the question but that's a Hell of a gauntlet to lay down missy.

LOL!! It's okay Gwinch, I have a boyfriend. I was just talking myself up.

What can I say, Jr brings the bullsh*t out in me :laugh:

[1vanvan1]

If you still want a running partner flick me a PM or something. I am available most week nights.

[Delerium]

Im centeral (mt Eden), but im running every day (except at the moment becuase I have exams and iv been lazy and useless).

I tend to do shorter distances (2-5 km) in preparation for my fitness test with work. But Have done the onamalutu half marathon also.

[jrandom]

:laugh: interesting advice coming from a fat coont :dodge:

Ah, but it's still not bad advice.

For what it's worth, the last half I did was in 2005. 2:09 @ 95kg.

Might have a crack at the Auckland one again this year if I can scrape together the cash for a pair of new running shoes before then.

:niceone:

[howdamnhard]

Sorry can't run no more but will beep as I go past on two wheels:scooter:.

[short-circuit]

Oh really? For what? :blip:

[1vanvan1]

Oh really? For what? :blip:

Not for what your thinking, shall I point you in the direction of RM, or possibly ol' skiddy. Or maybe your wanting more than one. In that case, carver and sidewinder are south a little ;)

[Dirty_Harri]

This was not supposed to be a thread for gay males to meet and greet!!!

It happens sometimes.

Just curious. How fast are you running atm, Like how many minutes per km?

[smoky]

What's running

[The Stranger]

Do we get to hold hands?

Ah - see number 4 on the list.

[Mully]

Running?

Are you being chased??

[jrandom]

Running?

Are you being chased??

If she didn't run, she'd be fat instead of hot, and then she wouldn't be able to get such a good response to a thread asking for running partners.

I do realise that that logic is rather circular, but she's a woman, so what do you expect?

[jrandom]

Who wants to run when you have 2 wheels :wacko::cold:

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Exhibit A: comments from the chick whose genetics condemn her to being scrawny no matter how unhealthy her lifestyle.

Quod erat motherfucking demonstrandum.

Really dude, her sexual practices are nothing to do with you.

[Icemaestro]

Haha, a highly amusing thread Gen, you manage to find a running partner after all that? Particularly amused at r6_kid - do we get to hold hands, and the other one...they shouldn't be expecting a shag afterwards? Heh. Would you hold my hand?:-P I don't think I'd be able to keep up after 4 months no training...I'll ride the cbr after you revving and tooting :-D

Haha yes I did thanks Mati- and as an added bonus, I don't think he's a weirdo. What you bringing to our party Sat night? I hope you're not cooking! :p.

I don't know, what should I bring? What would you like me to bring?:-) how much should I bring?it's like pot luck ay?

[Dirty_Harri]

Lol, I believe we may be :Offtopic:...ahhh well.

You can bring whatever really, our mates are generally proving pretty useless (disorganised), so I have know idea what's being brought. Not to worry! Should be a sweet night, haven't seen the physio crew in a while eh..

[gijoe1313]

How about this for running an idea up the flagpole (ooer! Innuendo!), just have a biker ride next to you, they can speed up and beep you when you are slowing down ... sure you would get better responses that way! :innocent:

(any excuse for a ride ... wait, more lascivious comments? :innocent:)

[Cheshire Cat]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!

FATTYS have to run!! :laugh:

Bring me bro, then I can hold her hand, and talk to you about your CBR and CBX! Maybe we could all go for a run together? :laugh:

Of course :p Had BK earlier too :innocent:

[Gremlin]

So what sort of running partner do you need? I've sent many a pedestrian running in the inner CBD when it was my turn at the lights. :devil2:

Perhaps I'll be more useful once you get faster? Bike doesn't have a problem tackling footpaths :yes:

I'd be keen, just as long as you don't mind if i throw solid objects at you as part of my training..:2thumbsup

Don't see what that has to do with running? :scratch:

But hey, you can't do much worse than roads have already done so far... they're a lot harder to avoid :laugh:

Running = increased metabolism = you can get away with eating a lot of junk. A 21km run is equivalent to about 1,500 calories. I burned about 33,000 calories training for the wellington half.... me thinks me needs chocolate, icecream and custard tarts for dinner :laugh:

Tell me about it. When I was in the Senior Eight (rowing) at school we were training up to 30hrs a week. I could eat as much as I wanted and almost put on no weight at all.

Then I stopped rowing, and kept eating. Took me just under 9 months to go from 85kg up to 102kg. Lost the abs and the fitness, but kept the stamina :laugh:

Haha, yeah I too can eat lots of naughty food and get away with it. But if i'm not running.. well lets just say my sz10 leathers don't do up no more :no:. My bf on the other hand does no exercise and can eat BK 4 x week without consequence. Bastard! :laugh:

Age is a bit of a killer when it comes to metabolism. I used to be 70kgs in my early twenties, now I can't get below 77kgs. Still not bad (I'm fitter and stronger than I used to be). Thought about entering Mr Puniverse when I was younger :wari:

A guy at work just did the marathon in 3:03. The winner did it in 2:36 and 10 minutes clear of second. Makes my effort look a little paltry by comparison.

For a good laugh and some inspiration - get a copy of Dean Karnazes book "Ultra marathon man".

[Dirty_Harri]

Yay, going for a run with my new running partner in 5 mins!!:wari:

[Drunken Monkey]

I'm east(ish), run around the Panmure basin or along Tamaki drive if I'm not just going for a jog around the block.

Edit: oops just saw your post, looks like you're sorted.

Heya, I'm only sorted for a couple of weeks coz 1vanvan1 is heading south to join the Air force. I've done that run a few times- quite a good one! Flick me a PM when you're keen for one!

do you do group sessions?

Try being a bicycle courier.

Today's high-performance training diet: two sossidge rolls, a custard pie, and a Snickers.

And I was starving when I got home. Good thing there was cold pizza in the fridge!

Ahem.
