I once did a nine day streak of long distance running, by the end my ankle was quite painful and an X ray a few weeks later revealed that I'd been developing stress fractures. I certainly wouldn't have been able to continue for many more days.
Any Runners On Here??

Did you manage to keep up with him running on one leg 😊

Me to my ankles aren't up for much training so mix it up with cycling!

Not sure about you James; but I’m nearly 52 and have always been ‘sporty’. Playing one Professionally for a living for a number of years infact. Although my knees are not bad at all - I’m also aware how quickly high impact activity could (now) affect them / me…..
So these days it’s either cycling or some reasonably gentle walking (8.2 miles in 2 hours 2 mins this Morning for example).
Anyway - I couldn’t find a topic about ‘walking’ on here. Are those that exercise their legs at a slightly slower pace welcomed in this corner of the internet ? 🤣

There was a side forum at one time for walking and running but it never seemed to generate much interest sadly and has now gone.
I do lots of walking too and really enjoy it.

Politician by any chance ? You dodged answering my question nicely 🙋♂️ 🤣

Walkers welcome? I’d like to think so but with so many threads getting moderated for going off topic who knows

Perhaps I’d better lay low and keep my sedentary activity to myself then…..😂😎

Maybe whoever started the thread could change it to runners or walkers. I’m sure there’s loads of us who walk too.

Did a New Year’s Day parkrun today.
Was staying at my son’s and ran the 4.5k to the start and the same back again.
Hilly course and was happy with my 35th out of 153 finish.

I've not done one of these but apparently there is one in the city I live just outside every Saturday. Think I will give it a go, having some other people to run with (lag behind in my case) must be so much better than solo running.

No, getting old is when you get tired just reading about somebody else walking their dog!
