Running

[jots]

Is there anyone else on this forum who enjoys running?

I´ve been running occasionally to try to stay in shape my whole life but never with any consistensy. However, about three months ago I started running more seriously, setting goals and making a proper training schedule.

My initial two goals were to run 10 km in less than 40 min, and to run a half marathon in less than 90 min.

Two weeks ago I achieved my first goal - running 10 km in 39:52

My second goal is going to be tougher, I believe. My PR for 21 km is currently 1:33:37.

I´m uploading my runs on Garminconnect, Strava and Nike+. Feel free to add me if you are also a member on any of these.

I ran cross country and track in high school and college. I have kept up with jogging periodically throughout my life, though the past few years I have had some medical problems that prevented me from being able to jog. As a result, I have gained weight which is very difficult to lose. I am hoping to get back into jogging shape again soon. I used to jog ten miles a day.

I hate running. To me it's the most boring form of exercise. Though I like orientation, but I guess it's because it appeals to my childish sense of adventure

I bought cars so I wouldn't have to run. Let's see....that started 46 years ago.

If you need to run you have set off earlier!

I do a lot of cardio in the gym, but only casually outside in the fresh air (no recordings or anything).

I used to be an 800m runner at school and university and used to compete at school level and inter-college at Uni.

I say, keep running! Great sport, extremely cheap, and very good for you

If my wife ever finds where I hid her cast iron fry pan I suppose I'll be running again. :p

Seriously, no. I admire anyone who does, but a couple injuries makes it a non-starter for me. Plus...it sucks.

I much prefer walking. I run like an complete total and utter twatification of a human being.

The thing about running is that it might make you feel miserable at first, then the more you do it the more you start to like it, eventually it becomes addictive. Having good cardio is one of the biggest life enhancers that you can have. You just feel great all the time. I used to be able to run a sub 5 min mile fairly easily. Though I tore the meniscus in my left knee rock climbing two years ago. Puts a damper on my running life quite a bit.
