Things you say to yourself when running

I wish it would stop knocking against my knee ......

I hear you have very short thighs...

It used to be "If Jimmy Savile can do it then so can I" but it recently became inappropriate

'Spectators! Lift those knees, Simon!' (Yes, an audience does make me faster.)

Yes matty, I wouldn't be running past any schools blurting that out if I were you.

David F - I assume you're talking about your running belt?  Most of them are adjustable, just have a look around the back for a strap and tighten it.  It won't slip down then. Best of luck.

I sing songs from Les Miserables and the 'just keep running (swimming)' song from Finding Nemo.

If that little dog doesn't F@*K off I'm going to punt it over that hedge!!

It doesn't hurt

It doesn't hurt

It doesn't hurt

Upon seeing a massive, unexpected hill during a run/race:
'THAT can f*** off!'
But I still end up doing it anyways

Ha! That made me laugh out loud. I do the same thing.

Paula Radcliffe said she can run 1 mile in a count to 100. I try that and laugh at how slow I am. I ran with a friend who is a psychiatrist and told her about my "internal dialogue" expecting her to say "oh we all do that" and she just went hhhhmmmh really?

The math doesnt work out on that ....... doing over 5 minutes per mile ...... is more than 300 seconds per mile ...... so she must be a very slow counter ..... 1 (wait for over 5 seconds) .......2 (wait for another 5 seconds)

"If you are struggling, use disassociation techniques to take your mind off the pain. Slowly count to 100 three times, which covers a mile (for Radcliffe)." Guardian

Thanks David I forgot to do it 3 times - still would never get near to her 5 minute miling - ever!
