    Should have been out tonight. I didn't go out tonight 😣 Before lockdowns I wouldn't have given it a second thought whether it was running or bootcamp!

    Im definitely more of a distance runner! Although after dropping the miles during all these lockdowns even that is debatable 🤣

    Running

    Tonight's run consisted of a challenge one of our bootcamp friends set! Run 0.5 mile. Repeat it after a break (period of your choice but keep it challenging, we're not talking hours 🤣) and try to come within 10 seconds of you me previous time! Disappointed I fell at the first hurdle, although I...

    I did a 4.8 miler yesterday! Suddenly dawned on me how slow id got after 3 years of working on my running 😢 43 mins last night 😣 yet in March my PB for a 10k was 45:03 (that :03 always annoyed me then, but now I know I should have been impressed!!) Always say to others to ignore times, pace etc...

    I've got my most recent pair from Runners Need. Have also used SportsShoes. Depends on whether you know what you need to be looking for (neutral, support etc). Want to stay local? Cov runner have been really engaging even during lockdown, even doing doorstep deliveries if local and Anne Marie...

    thanks Mate! Just sent a request to join! Have often heard good things about the Coventry way but never got round to actually doing the main event yet!

    Tabbing. We do it at bootcamp. It's what they do in the army. I have no desire to be in the army, but they get us doing it (I mean we pay for the privilege 🤣), but it is challenging, much more so than just running. The run part is actually the 'shakeoff' As to do it properly you go at a fast...

    Running

    Not a stupid question at all! I've often thought about tabbing that route, but have always wondered if being close to water with 14kg on my back especially in this climate is wise 🤣 Can't help with distance but it is longer than you'd think given how much it winds

    I only happened to come across the Old School Goats by chance and have ran with them a few times! Can't always commit to their Sunday schedule and used to run with my bootcamp on Wednesdays, so haven't repped the jersey with other Goats as much as I'd like. but there are also some others on...

    Well when this shite is over we can arrange something around work! Sure there's nicer places to run round by you than us beating the streets round here 🤣

    @Adge what he said 👆🏻 🤣 They area recognised club so you can be affiliated but it's not essential; anyone is welcome to the herd, even you 😁

    Along with my bootcamp who have a few keen runners, I've been part of 'Lonely Goats' for a couple of years now! A virtual group before 'virtual' became a thing 🤣 One of the biggest running clubs going given that it's both nations and international! Great online support, and we even have some...

    I've long been a Saucony Peregrine guy (had two pair of 7's and two 8's) but don't like the look of the 10's. design wise rather than colour - no one gets running trainers to make a fashion statement and the uglier colour the better 🤣 So, despite having tried Cascadia about 18 months 2 years...

    ITB's are beggars aren't they (to say, spell in full, and just generally!) had both of mine play me in recent years! Worst was when my right one went on the 10th mile marker of the Kenilworth half 2 years ago 😤 Still get a bit of jip from it now and am seeing a physio once a month! But until...

    Did a jingle bell jog 10k on Saturday. Not my quickest at 55 mins (45:03 is my Pb) but I was dressed as Santa and wore a 5kg weight vest for a bit of extra padding!! May venture out Christmas Day morning. Have done the park run the last 3 years, tabbing it last year with two friends from...

    How have I not seen this thread before!! I haven't read the 25 page replies but hey!! I'm a runner (also known as a running wanker 🤣). Not gone over half marathon distance bar once in November when I joined a friend who was doing their virtual London marathon and I ended up doing 17!! Longest...

    best bit of the non existent rivalry is how many villa fans have replied to it, clearly bothered by it 🤣 agreed it is one sided though, existent or not
