So what helps you fabbers when out running
Music, running buddy..good view
This morning my run was helped by my mind being occupied by naughty thoughts thanks to a few kinky fabbers...also if there a cute bum in front..that helps  |

I tend to run on my own that way i can let my mind wander for ages when my mind wanders i check the time a lot less, constantly checking the time while doing something like a 5 to 7km run bores me quickly lol, also i just play some Public Enemy as well..

Music is key although had a buddie with me for the first time today and was great to chat resulting in doing double what I would normally do.. I don't run tho I cycle.. Same principle I suppose  |

As I cycle I can be out for a couple of hours at a time on my own so I listen to up beat music on one headphone so i can still hear cars coming up behind me on my outside.
I ride with a club on a Saturday so you can have a chat and a coffee and the hours just fly past.
Though if I'm stressed a couple of hours in the mountains on my own without music listening to the wind and the thump of my own heart is great headspace.

"So what helps you fabbers when out running"
When I go for a long run (which for me is anything over an hour running time) I try not to think of it as a long run. I break the route up into shorter stages and then check of each stage in my mind as I complete it. By focusing on the run as a series of short stages rather than one long run it "seems" to pass more quickly.
I also try to enjoy my surroundings - I always run outdoors, usually on country roads or in parks/fields, so I try to take in what I see around me - that is distracting and make the time pass more quickly.
Also, I have several different routes, I am not covering the same territory on each long run.
And, if I have a problem I'm trying to work through (either work or personal) a long run is a great way to tease things out.
I don't tend to have horny thoughts on my runs, I save them for later, though occasionally they creep in. And of course I enjoy the sight of a female bum at any time - I sometimes wonder do you realise how revealing (and, sometimes, unflattering ) Lycra) can be! But on a run I try not to stare at women runners, no matter how attractive I find them - they are just out for a run as well, so I don't think perving them for my pleasure would be very fair or correct. Anyway, for a guy, doing anything which might cause an erection is not a good idea - both embarrassing and uncomfortable, especially if you run without underwear (I do).
Finally if you can find other people to run with who are at the same level of you that is a great way to pass a long run - just don't jump on any of the runners you find attractive
OK, more than I intended to write. Hope some of it helps. Keep on running! |

"So tell me, is it just the company I keep, but are we runners/cyclists all horny feckers...just wondering? "
it's not just you. And it's not just runners/cyclists. Horniness is just part of the human condition; it's just humans, full stop. |

Love it..and to ur point about revealing Lycra...when I came home from gym during week thought I'd take a few pics only to notice my bottoms were see through, was wondering why my ass was getting more attention than usual...now to decide whether to wear them again or not |

Yes, that's exactly what I had in mind. Be happy to check the pics out for you with a view to offering impartial advice as to whether you should attend in them again or not
Heck, if you ever make it to a gym in Galway, I'd even be happy to do an on the spot check for you - no charge, other than maybe you could buy me a pint |

I love the long runs. The longer the better for me. I get to clear my head and just empty everything out and it's just me my self and some music. I got a lovely ipod that takes a lot as I will be back training for an ultra when baby comes once I get the all clear and hopefully injury free this year. |

Ultra..fair play. I haven't managed anything longer than half a marathon  |

A good music playlist every time
A running buddy up to 10k is good but i prefer to run alone if i'm doing 16k / 21k runs, just feel i can push myself harder when its just me without putting any pressure on my running buddy
Oh .. running in the phoenix park is always made easier with the sexy ladies in lycra .. |

I did 16 miles early this morning on my own. I checked fab and messaged a few people before I left so I was the whole time looking forward to getting back to see what naughty messages I had  Fab is what got me through my long run this morning |

Eye candy makes me run faster for that bit but then off my stride n end up with a poor time lol! Rather just the sounds of nature if can get away from it all n then no other distractions either.
On another note, any advice for shin splints if anyone has had them as killing me at mo even after only a half mile!  |

"Best thing for shin splints is rest. It could take 2 or 3 weeks. In the meantime strengthen up those calves by doing calf raises on the edge of a step. "
Cheers, tried that though but started after my last marathon that prob wasn't match fit for tbh. Had plenty of rest periods since but each time back out on hard surface am crippled, fine on treadmill etc, killing me as nothing better than a run in the fresh air |

Running with my lurcher is the best incentive, he loves it so much. Company on a run, human or canine makes it go more quickly, but there are inevitable pit stops with a dog...

Off road for me - the constant changes of scenery, the views, the requirement to pay attention to the surface, good sounds, occasionally good company all of this. And the thoughts of the next bedroom session, of course! |
