Velociraptor Sep 2008 3:27pm, 29 Sep 2008 4,297 posts	0 Velociraptor Well done, Biker! I did 1.47 last time I did the Windsor Half. It was a huge PB. Then I knocked over 5 minutes off it two weeks later at Kenilworth, which is hillier
Hanneke Sep 2008 3:32pm, 29 Sep 2008 40,117 posts	0 Hanneke I knocked almost 40 minutes off my long fell race on Saturday, compared to last year, but I dount that is all due to reduced weight! However, I do weigh 5 kilo's less than I did last year...
Velociraptor Sep 2008 3:37pm, 29 Sep 2008 4,298 posts	0 Velociraptor I think every one of my PBs is due to better training and a good run on race-day, rather than weight
Hanneke Sep 2008 3:39pm, 29 Sep 2008 40,118 posts	0 Hanneke I think that is what I want to put my improvement down to too, and the X-talons, off course
DrBob Sep 2008 7:36pm, 29 Sep 2008 1,171 posts	0 DrBob On the subject of scales, we've got three sets, old fashioned ones, digital and digital plus bmi and they all disagree with each other. Yesterday after my long run I was either 10 stone 2 , 10 stone 6 :-/ or 10 stone 7.5 stoopid things.
Hanneke Sep 2008 8:14pm, 29 Sep 2008 40,123 posts	0 Hanneke I'd settle for the old fasioned one DrBob and stick to it, so you get your relative weight to that scale
DrBob Sep 2008 8:53pm, 30 Sep 2008 1,172 posts	0 DrBob good suggestion Han, specially as the old ones give the best weight!
