ddolly Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I'd like to start running again, used to do it a long, long time ago. But I'm too scared to go on my own, not sure running round a park on my own is a smart move, well not until I have some idea where to go. I'm based in Sharrow - is there anyone I can tag along with, and who wont laugh at how unfit I am? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EyeSpy Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 In reply to your topic thread, its quite easy. Very similar to walking, only with a little extra pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ousetunes Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 I returned to running in May and have so far ran over 120 miles since then - and that includes a lay-off of nearly three weeks after I'd had a vasectomy! Whilst I understand your not feeling safe to run in parks I'm afraid that only leaves the option of a boring treadmill in some sweaty, expensive gym. You've just got to get out there and you should be safe enough providing you stick to main paths and run before it goes dark. I do most of my running at lunch, running up towards and around Redmires. I started on 1 mile runs, followed by a ten minute run the next day and so on. Then I moved onto a week of one mile runs which has slowly increased to where I am this week, so far 4 three mile runs, one 4 mile run (which I've just come back from) and probably another 4 or 5 miles tomorrow. I feel fantastic! Try this website, I'm sure it'll spur you on. Good luck!! http://www.runnersworld.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met a guy who got flu the week he had it done and he could only just manage to mount a Shirehorse he couldn't get his legs far apart enough.
