but they do enough running from the cops, so i believe they WILL catch you.

Pfft most are junkies praying on fear...not athletes. Plus you're still decreasing your chance of being caught. If I can run non-stop for 3km in 12 minutes and he can catch me, good on him!

Haven't run properly in ages.. all i do cardio wise currently is futsal once a week.

I want to do the Run Melbourne event, got a mate from work who runs a fair bit and is most likely doing it, so he'd be good motivation/company etc.

Birds, what sort of prep would you recommend? Anyone else?

Depends which event you are running in. If you haven't run in a long time, I recommend the 5km. In which case, HIIT training across a hilly 2-3km route will be good enough to shock your body into road running. Then closer to the event, do a few 5km runs on flat ground just to get the 5km distance under your belt. I'm doing the 5km run, starting in the second wave (can get a first wave time, but I prefer not to be around all the hardcore bastards).

If you need any training help, come do my HIIT course around my streets, which is 3km of hell. I won't lie, it's a c*** of a run. But after training with that, flat ground is a walk in the park.

You can do Run Melbourne as an individual, but if you want a fundraising team, you / your friend are welcome to join the one my friend and I started for kicks (though our donations are actually doing quite well):

I will warn you though, we are planning on getting singlets made up :rofl2:

I've done zero research into it haha. The 5km sounds like a goer, hopefully that will spur me on to improve a bit.

Plenty of hills here in the north east, will give that HIIT stuff a crack (that's like.. run flat out, then rest.. rinse and repeat yeah?)

Lost bulk weight (6kg) over a period of 3 months (with a uber healthy diet - not water weight) about 6 months ago... Slowly piling the fat back up now... (Gained 3kg.. doh) (5f 8" 75-76kg atm FTL)

Used to run 5-6 times a week, 7.7km a day. Average run time went between 43-47mins... I need to get back into it...

Mid distance,

Run because I like to, keeps me fit etc etc.

minimum of 4 x 10KM every week. (usually a couple more when I feel like it. (shorter though)

Down from 7 x 12KM a week ++ (not good for most things)

Reason for reduction in training (sort of was doing passive weights work just to keep the bulk on and want to get stronger like I was before I did heavy running low gym)

Doing over 100km's a week and feeling sore pretty much every day is not conducive to much at all LOL.

just did an 8.8km (google maps) run in approx 34 minutes.

i run because it keeps me fit and really gives me an advantage over my opponets in a 90 min soccer match.

also training for an 8km race coming up soon.

want to try the city 2 surf this year also.

Damn that's a lot of running. And I'm not surprised you had that kind of fatigue afterwards. Your muscle and joint/ligament recovery would have been zilch!

That's fairly bloody quick mate, especially maintained over that distance. How much do you weigh?

How does everyone warm up for running?

I usually do some calf/quad/ham/hip stretches and squats for 5-10 minutes, then I'm fairly straight into it for a non-stop 3km...obviously not straight into a sprint, but a reasonably quick jog/run for about 200 metres before I go up to a proper running speed. I do time attacks, so I can't waste too much time warming up during the actual run. Now if I stretch well enough, I usually have no issues...but once in a blue moon, when I start the run, my ankle joints seem to "crack" or feel stiff like they need to crack, a bit like cracking your knuckles. Once they do, they're fine after that and I don't get any pain or stiffness from them.

I've been weighing up the benefits of going for a short (say 1km), light jog prior to starting my timed run...just a warm up to get the joints loose, cause I'm a bit worried I might damage them by going fairly straight into my times run. Thoughts?

No warm up ever, Not for running, not for gym.

Never been injured I guess it just works for me :/

I suppose you do enough running to warrant never "cooling down" in the first place. I do stretch for gym though, never had an injury since stretching so I'm sticking to that! lol

67 kg, i do three nights of soccer training and a 60 min and 90 min game per week as well so im pretty fit

well you have to know how your body reacts. i myself do short football style (high knees, side to side) for about a 1 min or 2 then a quick stretch and off i go

  • 3 weeks later...

Hahaha that explains it, that will keep you fit. My mate always kicks my ass in running, but he's 70kg so I have a 14-15kg disadvantage.

Set a new personal record for my current weight lastnight. 3km of hilly shit completed in 12 mins 30 secs. Gotta get back down to >4 minute km and then I'll be happy. After that, I'm chasing Jarryd Roughead's AFL draft time of 3km 10 mins 44 secs. Gonna be f***ing tough.

It gets rather tedious doing over 15km.... big time Lol.

lol what do you think about that whole time? My mind just keeps thinking about how tired my legs are...which pisses me off, just makes the pain worse.

Hey everyone gotta start somewhere and that's not a bad time by any stretch. Congratulations on dropping the kilos, you must feel great. I used to do my 3km run in about 20 minutes when I first started. Used to dial up a pizza and run all the way to get it...would time in perfectly! But you get better and better...I was dropping 10 seconds off my time each week. That obviously slows down the faster you get, it's not linear, but you definitely do get better so keep at it :)

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
