Running schedule with a newborn - any tips?

Are there any new mums out there? My son is 3 weeks old and I’m trying to re-establish a running routine. I was running 6 days/week, 8 - 10km each day, before pregnancy. I’m not expecting to be able to do that now obviously but would like to be able to incorporate a regular run into 5 or so days of the week. Would be interested to hear how others manage? TIA

Who wants to be a mod?

I have very little time to upkeep this place, so open to somebody else being a mod?

Performance on Running at The Old Fitz

There's a performance of several intersecting monologues set in a gym showing this month at The Old Fitz in Woolloomooloo, for anyone who's interested (just a short walk from King's Cross station).

They're all about exercise of course, and one of them is about a runner who is very into science and the effect running has on his body (all factual). It's a pretty good dark comedy - I recommend it!

More info can be found here: http://www.sitco.net.au/whats_on.html

Photos and style

Hi, working on the style of this place. Don't know CSS at all but got to start somewhere.

If you have a cool photo of some running theme, I can put it up in the top left of the screen. See /r/soccer for an example. I can also put a logo in above the search bar. Does anybody have a logo to suggest. It all takes some time but is doable.

Going for a gold/yellow colour combo. Better suggestions?

(X-Post TIL) 61 yo Cliff Young ran an ultramarathon and broke the record by two days. He had no formal training, ran with no sleep, and beat sponsored, young athletes. He remarked that the race "wasn't easy." : todayilearned

Anyone doing/supporting/watching the Six Foot Track tomorrow?

"the toughest marathon in Australia, if not the world"

Some of my running club will be out there, not me though, too young for that craziness.

Run for the Kids not far away

Probably my favourite fun run in Melbourne town apart from the massive crowds; anybody else registered?
