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.

Im 37 and havent done any exercise besides shagging for about 20 years.Im 6ft . when i started running about 6weeks ago i was 94kg.I just started doing about 2kms 3-4 days a week and last week started doing 4kms 3 days a week.I am now down to 85 kgs from having smaller meals and exercise. I timed myself the last couple of times over the 4kms and it was about 22 minutes.Not that good i know,but i am so unfit from not exercising over the years.

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 :)

    • I did end up getting it sorted, as GTSBoy said, there was a corroded connection and wire that needed to be replaced. I ended up taking out the light assembly, giving everything a good clean and re-soldered the old joints, and it came out good.
    • Wow, thanks for your help guys 🙏. I really appreciate it. Thanks @Rezz, if i fail finding any new or used, full or partial set of original Stage carpets i will come back to you for sure 😉 Explenation is right there, i just missed it 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for pointing out. @soviet_merlin in the meantime, I received a reply from nengun, and i quote: "Thanks for your message and interest in Nengun. KG4900 is for the full set of floor mats, while KG4911 is only the Driver's Floor Mat. FR, RH means Front Right Hand Side. All the Full Set options are now discontinued. However, the Driver's Floor Mat options are still available according to the latest information available to us. We do not know what the differences would be, but if you only want the one mat, we can certainly see what we can find out for you". Interesting. It seems they still have some "new old stock" that Duncan mentioned 🤔. I wonder if they can provide any photos......And i also just realized that amayama have G4900 sets. I'm tempted too. 
    • Any update on this one? did you manage to get it fixed?    i'm having the same issue with my r34 and i believe its to do with the smart entry (keyless) control module but cant be sure without forking out to get a replacement  
    • So this being my first contribution to the SAU forums, I'd like to present and show how I had to solve probably one of the most annoying fixes on any car I've owned: replacing a speedometer (or "speedo") sensor on my newly acquired Series 1 Stagea 260RS Autech Version. I'm simply documenting how I went about to fix this issue, and as I understand it is relatively rare to happen to this generation of cars, it is a gigantic PITA so I hope this helps serve as reference to anyone else who may encounter this issue. NOTE: Although I say this is meant for the 260RS, because the gearbox/drivetrain is shared with the R33 GTR with the 5-speed manual, the application should be exactly the same. Background So after driving my new-to-me Stagea for about 1500km, one night while driving home the speedometer and odometer suddenly stopped working. No clunking noise, no indication something was broken, the speedometer would just stop reading anything and the odometer stopped going up. This is a huge worry for me, because my car is relatively low mileage (only 45k km when purchased) so although I plan to own the car for a long time, a mismatched odometer reading would be hugely detrimental to resale should the day come to sell the car. Thankfully this only occurred a mile or two from home so it wasn't extremely significant. Also, the OCD part of me would be extremely irked if the numbers that showed on my dash doesn't match the actual ageing of the car. Diagnosing I had been in communication with the well renown GTR shop in the USA, U.P.garage up near University Point in Washington state. After some back and forth they said it could be one of two things: 1) The speedometer sensor that goes into the transfer case is broken 2) The actual cluster has a component that went kaput. They said this is common in older Nissan gauge clusters and that would indicate a rebuild is necessary. As I tried to figure out if it was problem #1, I resolved problem #2 by sending my cluster over to Relentless Motorsports in Dallas, TX, whom is local to me and does cluster and ECU rebuilds. He is a one man operation who meticulously replaces every chip, resistor, capacitor, and electronic component on the PCB's on a wide variety of classic and modern cars. His specialty is Lexus and Toyota, but he came highly recommended by Erik of U.P.garage since he does the rebuilds for them on GTR clusters.  For those that don't know, on R32 and R33 GTR gearboxes, the speedometer sensor is mounted in the transfer case and is purely an analog mini "generator" (opposite of an alternator essentially). Based on the speed the sensor spins it generates an AC sine wave voltage up to 5V, and sends that via two wires up to the cluster which then interprets it via the speedometer dial. The signal does NOT go to the ECU first, the wiring goes to the cluster first then the ECU after (or so I'm told).  Problems/Roadblocks I first removed the part from the car on the underside of the transfer case (drain your transfer case fluid/ATF first, guess who found out that the hard way?), and noted the transfer case fluid was EXTREMELY black, most likely never changed on my car. When attempting to turn the gears it felt extremely gritty, as if something was binding the shaft from rotating properly. I got absolutely no voltage reading out of the sensor no matter how fast I turned the shaft. After having to reflow the solder on my AFM sensors based on another SAU guide here, I attempted to disassemble the silicone seal on the back of the sensor to see what happened inside the sensor; turns out, it basically disintegrated itself. Wonderful. Not only had the electrical components destroyed themselves, the magnetic portion on what I thought was on the shaft also chipped and was broken. Solution So solution: find a spare part right? Wrong. Nissan has long discontinued the proper sensor part number 32702-21U19, and it is no longer obtainable either through Nissan NSA or Nissan Japan. I was SOL without proper speed or mileage readings unless I figured out a way to replace this sensor. After tons of Googling and searching on SAU, I found that there IS however a sensor that looks almost exactly like the R33/260RS one: a sensor meant for the R33/R34 GTT and GTS-T with the 5 speed manual. The part number was 25010-21U00, and the body, plug, and shaft all looked exactly the same. The gear was different at the end, but knowing the sensor's gear is held on with a circlip, I figured I could just order the part and swap the gears. Cue me ordering a new part from JustJap down in Kirrawee, NSW, then waiting almost 3 weeks for shipping and customs clearing. The part finally arrives and what did I find? The freaking shaft lengths don't match. $&%* I discussed with Erik how to proceed, and figuring that I basically destroyed the sensor trying to get the shaft out of the damaged sensor from my car. we deemed it too dangerous to try and attempt to swap shafts to the correct length. I had to find a local CNC machinist to help me cut and notch down the shaft. After tons of frantic calling on a Friday afternoon, I managed to get hold of someone and he said he'd be able to do it over half a week. I sent him photos and had him take measurements to match not only the correct length and notch fitment, but also a groove to machine out to hold the retentive circlip. And the end result? *chef's kiss* Perfect. Since I didn't have pliers with me when I picked up the items, I tested the old gear and circlip on. Perfect fit. After that it was simply swapping out the plug bracket to the new sensor, mount it on the transfer case, refill with ATF/Nissan Matic Fluid D, then test out function. Thankfully with the rebuilt cluster and the new sensor, both the speedometer and odometer and now working properly!   And there you have it. About 5-6 weeks of headaches wrapped up in a 15 minute photo essay. As I was told it is rare for sensors of this generation to die so dramatically, but you never know what could go wrong with a 25+ year old car. I HOPE that no one else has to go through this problem like I did, so with my take on a solution I hope it helps others who may encounter this issue in the future. For the TL;DR: 1) Sensor breaks. 2) Find a replacement GTT/GTS-T sensor. 3) Find a CNC machinist to have you cut it down to proper specs. 4) Reinstall then pray to the JDM gods.   Hope this guide/story helps anyone else encountering this problem!
