You’re a runner. Ignore the snobs. Having real issues with my knees and ankles and gout. Fastest 5k this year is about 27
Any runners on the forum. I've rediscovered my love of it this year. Mainly for the fun of it but of course you are always looking to go quicker. I was reading some depressing runners forum which suggested unless you run under 20 mins for 5k you are just a jogger!
So how do any SBT members stack up. So far this year I am 250 miles done in total 5k 24.04. 10k 53 and 13 miles 1 hour 55. Age 46
Used to run a lot when boxing. Hated it. Would run to training, train then run home again. I now prefer walking. Much better on your joints. I walk on the beach for miles, through sand dunes and up and down mountains near where we live. It is good for your fitness. Even my dogs enjoy their sleep when we get home. And both are from working farm dogs.
But fair play if you enjoy it. Each to their own.
Yeah, same with me. Its the mental side of it and getting bored.I used to hate the running of it too when training properly but can still go for endless rounds on the heavybag
My last injury meant I had to retire from the ring at 47. Couldn't hit anyone or anything with my left hand. Not bad out the ring but tried once more in it. Couldn't size them up without my jab. No use having the power still in right hand but missing all the time. So time to take it easy and walk everywhere. I carry a heavy weight on my back up and down mountains. All a part of getting old but not wanting to give up just yet.I used to hate the running of it too when training properly but can still go for endless rounds on the heavybag
That's some beach! Do you get decent Summers up there?On my morning stroll now. On the beach with sand dunes to the right and bottom end of lakes in front. Misty morning so you can't see much of the mountain range.

We have our own climate. It can get very warm. But it can also get very windy. People come from all over Europe for kite surfing. They also have competitions here. I have been here 12 years and only had snow 3 times. And it melted immediately each time. But when you go onto the mainland they can have lots of snow.That's some beach!

Walney. The other side of Morecambe bay to Morecambe and Blackpool. You can see them but it takes at least 90 minutes to get there.Where’s that astute?
.. Probably doesn’t help that I seem to have a narrow-set nose....
I've done the Two Castles twice .
Run away quick.Sorry all, I've stumbled into the wrong thread!
Bloody hell I think that a great time, I did it a few years ago in 2.8mins hardest part for me was coming down the Tamworth road and left onto Long lane ( I think it’s called ) and then back up it and back onto the Tamworth roadI started this year and after a decidedly patchy approach to 'training' did the Cov Half in 2:02 so your times look good to me! I hit the wall at 11 miles, never known discomfort like it, everything hurt!
After about 1 mile of running I get pain in my lower back and hips. It's a shame because it's something I used to enjoy.
Dont know what causes it, I'm ok on a cross trainer, and cycling. Tend to stick to them now.
