getting in some training

[falkirk bairn]

We started our glastonbury training with a nice 7 mile walk yesterday as a warm up for all the yomping about the site we'll be doing.

Feeling a bit stiff in the hips today but not as bad i we thought we'd be.

Last couple of times we reckon we covered a few marathon distances while we were there for 5 days and as we've had a car for past year we find we're not walking as much so we have decided to take our time and build up our leg strength again.

Does anybody else feel the need to get themselves fitter to take on the huge site and all it's wonderfull and wide ranging things to do and see or is it just us sad oldies who worry that that we won't be able to last the pace lol.

Glucosamine and yoga. Will be getting fit for Glasto this year because I was to knackered to dance to Groove Armada last year which was a shame but also probably inevitable. ( I likes a dance see)

I'm in training for the football on the wednesday. I always tend to increase my walking just before Glasto but then combine that with advanced drinking training

who are you, The Borg?!?!

me and the better half

but yeah, glasto is my target for losing some weight, started at new year and it's going OK so far. halfway there though!

yep, planning to start the walking and drinking practice this weekend.

i see no point in just walking, there has to be at least a couple of pints of cider involved, else it's not glasto training!

I walk 2 miles from school each day, which takes about 45 minutes if that counts. Then again I do tend to dordle.

Hey there Falkirk Bairn. Not specifically for Glasto but I've climbed a couple of Munros recently and already I've already noticed a big difference in my legs. Plan to squeeze in a few more before the end of June, hopefully I'll find stomping around Glastonbury for 5 days a doodle by then!

i need to do a bit more excercise for getting fit again. I spend 16 hours at the weekend at work on my feet walking and i know i can walk long distance pissed managed 7 and a half miles home in around 3 hours.

walking onto the site will be fun though full pack from PGA to pennards will just have to keep moving i guess maybe do some practice with weights in a bag when i go for a run
