I've just got in to non competitive mountain biking. But seems to be more like a way to spend lots of money than a sport
Sometimes think it would have been cheaper to have got in to a hard drug habit lol |

"You doing the 5000m?"
"You doing the 5000m?"
If memory serves you used to run competitively?
I unfortunately find it difficult to play any sport I'm not good at .
At my current sport I play for the world champions (no lie) for discretion reasons can't say what sport :/ |

Now my rugby playing days are over, mainly just keeping fit.
Set a target every year. Has varied over the years. Walked the Great Glen Way, kayaked it as well.
Last few years has been the Beast Race.
Though would love to get back into rugby, think it would have to be Veterans! |

I didn't need to google it, I passed through Muff last week, (I regularly visit that part of Donegal) it's always brought a smile to my face. ..... didn't know it had a diving club though! |

"No it will be my 1st time but I have heard it's a good course for getting a good time.
Have you ran it before?"
Yeah.
I dont think its a great course but the quality of the field sort of makes up for it and pulls everyone round to a good time. |

I used to play badminton, football, rugby and box and hit the gym.
A year of injuries and illness means I'm not even fit enough to take moderate walks. Anyone got any advice for coming back from long term injuries? |

Had a few, such as knee surgery.
The non weight bearing are best.
Swimming.
If you can't swim, then just walking through the water as deep as possible gives a resistance training.
Cycling, either in gym or outside.
In gym, the rotary cross trainer thing, no impact to jar your injury, wherever it is. |

I dont do many 10k's so might not be the best person to ask.
Because Stirling is the national championships it is fast, the course is pretty flat too but some tight turns which slow you down and bits can be quite exposed in the wind if bad weather. |

Running, love running.
Used to do cross country races in France... in another life!
Been able to run again for a year now! Able to do 5k in a good time for me lol with the knee holding on, thinking of building up to 10k after Christmas.
Wee challenge...well, big challenge |

Glag to hear you are back running again and good luck with your challenge I'm sure it will go well,my advice would be just build it up very slowly and let your body adapt to more mileage. |

"That's good,well done.Do you do any of the park runs in Edinburgh?they are good for fitness and are also free"
No! I don't and I have heard they are good indeed.
I just do my own routes and I like the 'me and my tunes' time |
