00:00 - 00:03 | Sir, the Harrison Park run report is just in |
00:04 - 00:05 | after BC had tied his laces 17 times |
00:05 - 00:07 | we ambled through the first few miles at 7 minute pace |
00:08 - 00:12 | hit it quite hard up Blinkbonnie |
00:12 - 00:15 | and picked it up down the hill onto the Water of Leith |
00:17 - 00:19 | yes, with a few sub 6 minute miles |
00:19 - 00:21 | and a 5:30 to finish |
00:24 - 00:26 | Sir... |
00:27 - 00:28 | I'm afraid |
00:31 - 00:33 | they hit the wall on the canal |
00:34 - 00:36 | and the final mile was 8 minutes |
00:53 - 00:58 | anyone who just turned up for the Christmas special, leave the room now |
01:13 - 01:15 | You ran it in 8 minutes? |
01:15 - 01:17 | The final mile of the run was 8 minutes? |
01:18 - 01:23 | Have you forgotten the basic rules of the HP Sunday run? |
01:25 - 01:28 | we run the same route every bloody week |
01:29 - 01:31 | you bunch of aerobically-endowed morons |
01:31 - 01:34 | you always feel good at Balerno |
01:34 - 01:37 | but you save your energy to cane the final mile on the canal |
01:37 - 01:40 | dodging mindless dog walkers and cyclists |
01:40 - 01:42 | Sir, we still beat Edinburgh AC home |
01:42 - 01:46 | Do you want some sort of medal? Little girls run faster than 8 minutes |
01:46 - 01:48 | I think that's a tad unfair; we ran all the way |
01:48 - 01:52 | Next you will be jogging to one lamppost, walking to the next |
01:53 - 01:54 | carry a litre of Lucozade sport |
01:56 - 01:57 | and listening to your stupid Ipod |
01:57 - 02:00 | "Let's live-tweet as we run, why don't we?" |
02:00 - 02:03 | "What innane garbage can we post on the HP facebook page this week?" |
02:04 - 02:08 | You must be fucking kidding me? |
02:08 - 02:13 | It's like blowing up on mile 22 of a marathon because you 'felt good for the first half' |
02:14 - 02:16 | I told Houston about that in London '09 but he didn't listen |
02:17 - 02:21 | Milne totally kicked his ass, and then dined out on it for 5 years |
02:27 - 02:29 | Mind you, they took Anthony to the cleaners |
02:30 - 02:34 | and Gay too as I recall. But that's not the point |
02:34 - 02:36 | You all know the rules of the Sunday run |
02:41 - 02:42 | you start slowly and you speed up |
02:43 - 02:47 | you do *not* get carried away early on and then die on your arse |
02:48 - 02:53 | You are all mitochondria rich and brain cell poor |
02:54 - 02:56 | your bloody Garmin does your thinking for you |
02:56 - 02:59 | beeping in unison as you confidently pass 'mile 1 bridge' |
03:00 - 03:02 | I should chuck those useless toys in the canal and see if they float |
03:04 - 03:07 | It's ok Chloe, your pace judgement was excellent as usual |
03:14 - 03:16 | How will this be perceived on the blogosphere |
03:19 - 03:23 | We have to update the facebook status with something or Ray will complain |
03:25 - 03:26 | FFS |
03:31 - 03:33 | and what about twitter? |
03:40 - 03:46 | Which clever bastard is going to come up with an imcomprehensible hashtag to summarise this catastrophe? |
03:46 - 03:49 | like #TrainLikeSprinter |
03:53 - 03:56 | ...I'm off to do a track session |
