6.82?Had to grit my teeth today but managed to last-just!
Miles.6.82?
Just done my daily 1.5 miles and I think my old new balance are coming to the end of their useable life. Looking for some new trainers to run in, that if possible could double up as gym trainers. I’ve heard ASICS are good. What are you all running in at the moment.
A few of you have mentioned it’s worth joining a running club. Debating joining a local one, but what are the actual benefits and reasons behind recommending joining a club?

What’s the significance? Don’t know why you had to push at the end of a random distance? Sorry if I’m being a bit thick. I have a low IQ apparently.Miles.

-proper advice.
-group training and runs. Great motivator.
-most clubs have a vast range of abilities so you always have people at your pace (or alternatively slightly faster people to aim for!)
-if you are minded to, free entry into road-relays, cross-country leagues, etc.
There are a great range of clubs in Coventry and surrounding areas.

Brooks ghosts for me. About to invest in the ghost 13s, currently using ghost 12s (on my second pair currently). They are neutral shoe.
They are well cushioned so make an ideal road running shoe, but that does make them slightly heavier as the above post states.

What does “lonely goats” mean/stand for?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 goats who organise group runs (covid aside!) based in Allesley Village, starting from Old School Fitness
Lonely goat running club is an online affiliated running club.
You join them and have all the benefits of being in a physical running club. You’ll find you have club mates anywhere you go.
Lonely Goat Running Club
Lonely Goat is an inclusive Online Running Club. Designed for those who do not have the time to join traditional clubs.lonelygoat.com
@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
You’re too kind! In all seriousness I would meet up but you know where I am-bit far away.
I’ve looked into Lonely Goat before but wasn’t into running enough at the time.
Can you/do you find other local LG runners?
I used to do a lot of treadmill intervals, think they're good as the treadmill forces a quicker pace. Great for weight loss. I've not done one for years!Just done a treadmill interval session. Jesus the hate treadmills.
I’ve lost so much fitness and put on a stone and a half since I was ill. It’s going to take hard work and dedication to get back to where I was, but sessions like that’ll help for sure.
This has happened to me a lot too. Really annoying and rude.I’ve mentioned it on this thread a few times before, but it really pisses me off when you intentionally (and obviously) move out of someone’s way when running, usually onto mud/roads/grass verges etc, and get no acknowledgement at all.
Sounds petty I know, but it’s basic manners!
I was approaching a tunnel under a railway line today and could see a couple had just entered the other end, so with the current Covid situation etc I stopped running and waited. They were middle aged but seemed to walk really slowly so it took a while, as they came out they knew I’d been waiting and I’d even stepped back to ensure I was at least 2m away, they looked at me deadpan and just carried on, no thank you, no nod of the head, no smile.
