Boring training runs

[PorkyFatBoy]

Kitch says that if you’re doing interval training, then there shouldn’t be enough blood available to your brain for it to get bored. But what happens on the recovery or steady runs, when you’ve forgotten to take a map to read? Here are my thoughts of things to do to liven up my usual course-

1 See how many tourists’ photo’s can you get in the way of
2 Play hoop-la with the life-buoys and Cleopatra’s needle.
3 Run in the bus lane. Shout “Any more fares please?” at regular intervals.
4 Pinch the bottom of the lady who pretends to be a statue and see if she moves.
5 Try and get on TV by running behind an MP being interviewed outside Parliament.
6 Hurdle the midget as he poses for tourist photos.
7 Grab the can of Special Brew from the Tramp who usually shouts “Nae run!” at you. Shout “Nae run!” back when he chases you.
8 Play “chopsticks” on the busker’s piano.
9 Shout “you nearly took my eye out luv, get a decent sports bra!” at “unsupported” female joggers.
10 Take up free-running on the London Eye.
11 Rearrange the books on the bookstall below Waterloo Bridge.
12 Jump off Blackfriars Bridge onto a passing boat below. For advanced jumping, try to land on the fast catamaran that goes between Tate Britain and Tate Modern and see if you can land on a specific coloured circle. Extra points for the purple ones.

Hmm. I think I need to run faster…or change my training route.

actually the best:

try to run not alone.
