Wish I could do longer distances, I just get bored after five mins, even with music in my lugs.
Once hitched a lift to get to the next water hole(pub) while attempting a 5 mile run. Did about 2 n half miles.
Admire people who do.  |

Good on you for giving it a go though
Just concentrate on short distance and build walks in to help increasing the miles, then you’ll get to those pubs haha |

"Used to be pretty good although these days I jog, no longer competing.
It’s good you’re still getting out though. It’s tricky to balance it around a busy life ????"
Training twice a day (sometimes 3 times if a gym session was involved) on a ten day cycle, combined with work and then two little ones I couldn't manage it and chose to retire as I call it.
Still jog to keep a bit of weight off but now as I hit 50 feeling the aches and pains  |

"Not competitive runners but we’re both up this morning for a 5km. Blows away the cobwebs and sets you up for the day. "
I agree it certainly sets you up for the day. Morning is my favourite time to run. Good luck to you both in your 5k’s |

I normally run 7 miles 3 times a week, though have somehow lost my mojo in the last few months. Aiming to get back on it after my holidays and sign up for a half marathon next year.

"Running is something I'm trying to get into.
Currently doing the couch to 5k "
Set yourself a park run as your first 5k. Much easier to keep going when there are lots of others around you, easier still if you can find an attractive ass to follow  |

Interesting article in Runners World this month might help. There is a running group on the forums... ' crap runners ' good fun & supportive. |

Currently training for Amsterdam marathon which is my 12th, done countless halves and a regular parkrunner.
Signed up for the snowdon 24 for next summer, figure if I'm going to do an ultra I might as well go big!! |

"Don't run anymore bloody boobs get in the way lol and they hurt when they've bounced around for too long if not supported properly "
Haha yes, I can see why. If we ran together, I’d happily massage them post run lol |

"I run alot for pleasure. Done five 10k but just like running to feel free and blow away the cobwebs"
Feeling free is the reason I run too. I love just getting out there, whether it be an hours training run or a 20 hour ultra,,, freedom! ???? Lol |

"Runner here who took it up to help with depression in my mid 30’s. Overtime I’ve got gradually faster where I can run under 20 minutes for a park run. Have run distances of 5k upto marathon. "
Excellent mate! That’s a great reason and one so many of us turn to running. |

Yeah, a physio needs to take a look at that. Try to avoid Dr Google. Good luck! |

Good luck with finding your mojo again, it’s a nightmare when you lose it lol. You’ll get back into it one you’re out again. Try different routes or trails x |

Not a runner but did my first Ultra Challenge event this year, the Jurassic Coast Challenge, walking 100k over two days. |

"Parkrun regulars here, think loads on here do it "
Not to be disrespectful to the site but we’d expect park runners are in a tiny minority on here esp amongst couples. That’s based on the people we’ve met on Fab.

Serial marathon runner here. In sub 3:30 training for Amsterdam on October 20th. Think I'd much prefer following runners on Strava to be honest. Where would you go with this?
I personally like to run my marathons abroad (London next year excepted) and being relatively new to fab my running trips are increasingly more exciting. |
