Cr10 picture the scene...

Scene opens:

Jericho opens his eyes and looks at the clock, it's 6am. It's pitch black and his bed is warm and inviting. The sound of rain lashing on the windows and wild winds shaking the house serve to confirm his gut feeling... A wry smile spreads across his face... No running today he thinks to himself! He turns over to cuddle up to his Mrs and go back to sleep, a strange feeling greets his hand though and the smile on his face is replaced by one of confusion. This chest is not the boobs he expected, it's flat and hairy....he moves his hand up slowly toward the face...more hair! At least a few days growth!

"Morning Treacle!" A gruff cockney voice says.

Jericho sits bolt upright in bed and turns on the light.

"Coach Dyer!" He blurts out, bemused by Danny Dyers presence in his bed! "Where's my Mrs! What have you done with her!?"

Coach Dyer looks at him steely eyed

"You want to see her again? Get your kit on and do your run you Muppet!"

Duff Duff Duff Duff Duff Duff Duff Duff!(eastenders end music!)

End scene...

And that folks is how I managed to get up and run for 40 mins this morning! The run was painful and felt slow and hated every step but somehow set a new 40 min PB 😂

Good luck all running today, don't make Coach Dyer come to your house! 😂

hahahahaha - brilliant 🤣🤣🤣🤣 That was so funny. Brilliant run in the end Jericho - even after that rude awakening (you muppet) 🤣🤣

I needed coach Dyre yesterday. I went for a fairly mediocre run - felt slow and weirdly bloated and had a few niggles so I'm going to rest up and recuperate before my next run (should be tomorrow but I'm going to push it out until Friday or later as needed). It's frustrating but I know it's for the best. 😞

Good luck on the next one - I hope it's less tortuous and more gazelle like 👍👍🦌🦌

Yeah best to be safe SD, extra days rest will do you good 👍🏻 I'm probably gonna run Friday morning too as il be off again BUT my new ps5 gets delivered tomorrow while I'm at work 😂😂 so we see what Coach Dyer comes up with to motivate me then 😂

[StoneDragon Graduate in reply to Jericho2332]

Lucky you - you must've got your preorder in nice and early for the PS5 👍👍 Very jealous.

I'll be back out there soon enough. I know after last time not taggravatete it though. 💪🤞🦌

[Runforurlife Graduate in reply to StoneDragon]

Nice one SD 👍🏻Rest the niggles, stretch out and hydrate and you'll be ready for your next run in good time. Otherwise Coach Dyer will surely 'ave a word!

[StoneDragon Graduate in reply to Runforurlife]

Thanks R4UL - fingers crossed I'll be back out there again soon. 🤞👍

[Runforurlife Graduate]

OMG that has literally made me lolz here 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 Just brilliant!!!!! That Coach Dyer, he gets EVERYWHERE doesn't he?! Ha.. "Come on, come on..are you 'avin a larfff?"

Sounds like he did the job well though and you got yourself out there for another steady run, and that's nearly 7km you're clocking now! Impressive 💪🏻

I was up and out for my 7am outdoor PT strength session this morning so am feeling pretty virtuous myself 😎 I really wanted to go for a run in the park afterwards, it was such a nice morning, the sun rising...I felt full of beans but held myself back, mindful this is what I do then I injure myself. Pah!! I'm already dealing carefully with 2 niggles, don't want to add anymore. Next run for me: tomorrow 7am. Cannot wait! I know we say this all the time, but when did we become people who LOOK FORWARD to a run 🤪Crazy!!! Enjoy your new PS5. Not sure Coach Dyer will cut you much slack there 😂

[Jericho2332 Graduate in reply to Runforurlife]

I don't think he will either! He's ruthless! Plans have now changed anyway, I've now got work both tomorrow and Friday 😁 4 days this week that will be 😁😁 means less PS5 time but also means actual wages coming in at the end of December 🤣

Yeah be careful with your niggles, not worth risking it. It will make tomorrow's run all the more enjoyable for you 🤞🏻(weather report for end of week sounds shaky)

I've just been for a walk for couple hours and found my left calf is really painful after this mornings run, gonna rest it and raise it for rest of the day, maybe an ice pack for a while. Won't likely get a run now until Sunday/monday as working next two days and have a hike booked in for Saturday morning so hopefully this heals before then 🤞🏻

[Runforurlife Graduate in reply to Jericho2332]

Great news for you on the workfront 👍🏻 👍🏻Take care of that calf and you'll be fresh as a daisy by Sunday for your next run all being well.

[nowster Graduate]

Are you sure you're not having nightmares? Maybe lay off the cheese before bedtime. 🤣

[Jericho2332 Graduate in reply to nowster]

Coach Dyer doesn't allow cheese after 7pm 🤣

[Bambi2020 Graduate]

Ha, whenever I see him on TV now all I can picture is him barking instructions at you and Stone Dragon to get yourselves moving! 🤬😁Another good run in the bag, 40mins- it’s so hard to fit them in when you’re going out to work rather than working from home- I did mine when I got home last night- wasn’t as much of a killer as the week before that’s for sure

[Jericho2332 Graduate in reply to Bambi2020]

I'm just glad to be back working regularly again, it's been a tough few months! I'm going to make sure I get out running at least 3 times a week though no matter what, Coach Dyer won't settle for less 🤣
