  • 7 months later...

It looks like this thread was started in January, however I would be keen to join other running moms now.


midivydale, Convex, Mrs_Glennie, we could start a new group if you are up for it?



I have be thinking about getting back running recently, my son is 5 months old now and im just about ready to do it but as its getting dark I'll really need an push to get out. havent run since pre-pregnancy so its going to be tough.


Week day evenings around 7.15 - 7.30 (once baby is asleep) gets my vote

Definitely up for it!


I tried running from my office to daughter's nursery this evening, got very odd looks from nursery staff as I arrived all sweaty in my shorts!


My husband is home at 6.45 and baby normally in bed by 7 so could be out and running by about 7.30 I reckon.

Can we make it later, say 745? Baby goes down by 730 here and then I would need to run up the hill.


Tuesday looks good? I will only be here for one and then I'm off for a while but hopefully you guys will still be going when I get back!


I've got a running book somewhere with a 6 week plan in it will try and dig it out.

Great !!! So it looks like were a group of 7. (Mrs_Glennie; jennifaah; amydown; MOTHERSMEETINGS; midivydale; Convex; Dibden)


Shall we meet next Tuesday at 7.45pm outside the Dulwich Library and see how we go from there.

Convex if you can find that 6week programme that would be a good start. I followed one before and it was useful, I will see if I can dig mine out too.

here is a link to the programme I followed when I first started running and I think I'm back to that stage now.

It assumes you run 3 times a week but give you an idea of how to build it up.

    • Thanks for that - none  of mine  have been Mordena - whilst vulnerable cat, think I will just take my chances… Will be having flu though - certainly not by choice - much prefer not to but in vulnerable group.. Avoided them until last year…. Luck of drawer if you are as sick as fog  or just sore arm … assume - god knows - that flu jab is same throughout country.       
    • Wow, that is what it costs for one prisoner. So they get full board and lodging, 24 hour  monitoring  in over populated prison, we are led to believe, minimum exercise, assume a tv in each cell provided - in USA it is together with wash hand basin and c toilet - some have showers as well.   Clearly this amount of money takes  into account overstretched and overworked prison officers, protection for them, counselling which is, in my opinion a bare minimum dealing with prisoners in all settings. Do if Sweden can look outside the box, why can’t we? Or are we just not bothered at all / read statistics some where that reoffending is normal and to be frank, with economy as it is at the moment re employment, cost of living and homelessness..not surprised they reoffend to get back inside - food provided, roof over your head - much better than street living, mixing with wrong crowd, trying to get roof over your head, find a job where 90 % won’t employ you as been inside..
    • @beansprout The Swedes seem to have a useful strategy with regard to offenders  which has reduced repeat offending.  I agree that prison time for minor offences is a complete waste of time. Even worse is that prisons are "colleges of crime" where inmates learn about how to be do crimes and worst of all, become exposed to drug taking. I wouldn't advocate having chain gangs as in the USA but some strategy for getting them into say manual work under supervision might be useful - especially if it came with a modest wag. This would be significantly cheaper than the £51,100 it costs per year for  keeping one in jail.
