Love a good run. Do people prefer to run in the morning or evening. I run mainly in the morning personally.

Races and park runs are morning affairs, and I tend to run at the same time, if I can help it

Most mid week runs are in the evening though

Run to work, or ride in

If on an early shift, l'll be running by 04:20!!!

Conversely, after a late, leave work about 22:30

Circa 30 minute run, no matter what the weather (if winter snow, l'll wear a pair of my fell-race shoes)

Club-runs are early evenings

ParkRun on a Saturday, when shifts allow

Races are invariably in the late AM

Mine was a "dare" one Christmas

Talking with brother and sister in law over a bottle or two of wine.

We'd all just started running / keep fit and challenged each other to do the Chester Half Marathon.

Seemed like a good idea at the time, but it became an annual tradition

Setting yourself a target or goal keeps you running. So pick the We Manchester 10k, or the Salford 10k for next year

Honestly....if you can get to parkrun on a Saturday morning. It's great because it's free and there are some fantastic inspiring and supportive people there. I have made so many friends since going.

I started after watching 'obese: a year to save my life' and saw a woman complete a triathlon and though if she can do it so can I.

Downloaded the couch to 5k podcasts from the nhs choices site and off I went. I used to vet annoyed because I couldn't run all of the sections until my dad said to slow down. Took me longer than the 9 weeks to complete it but I did it.

Just back from my Sunday morning "easy" run, and thinking about Mo Farrah's performance last night.

By the time he'd finished I'd only have run 6km, at my own race pace.

A whole 4km behind him.

That's just totally amazing

Got talking to a guy at parkrun yesterday, looked in his 60s and was telling me how much he enjoys cross country in the winter and how he is still running the occasional ultra. Turns out he was 86 He told me he had once finished a 50 mile ultra and in the HQ afterwards sone young lads were in awe of a guy in his 60s that was running, said he didn't have the heart to tell them he'd beaten them all and was coming up to his 8th birthday!

I tend to think that the Brownlees performances are comparatively better

Mo's 10,000 was on a nice smooth, flat track

Not sure about the 'split' for the 10k of the. Triathlon yesterday, but Alistair was under 90 seconds adrift on a street circuit: after the swim & ride (25 mile) at London 2012

I've taken part in fell-races, where both brothers have also ran (their competative background), & it is an education to watch them

Well Race The Train was brutal. 50mph winds and intermittent torrential rain, despite the conditions and a fall I was still faster than last year. Such a great day out.

And also managed 2 other runs, a beautiful run at Cardiff Bay and the toughest non-competitive run I;ve ever done on the way marked route at Bwlch Nant yr Arian Forest.

Now for some panic training for Bournemouth maarathon!

did 2 x 2 mile runs today and it was painful but not agonising. shoudl i just stick to smaller runs with lits of stretching? or do walks () instead?

I hate to say it but rest is key. I hate doing it but if you keep testing it you'll keep hurting it. Do something less load bearing like swimming or pool running instead. I had a knee niggle this year and it took a month before I could run again.

Raced on Monday

Little toughie

Felt reasonably okay, but not good enough to gain more than 60-70 places

Considering this on Sunday, not run it for a few years

That's if l don't do the 'Hunshelf Amble' that l linked to in the ParkRunning thread

3 & 1/2 miles, with 800+'feet of ascent!!!

If any of you know 'The Strines', to the west of Sheffield, it starts/finishes near bottom of Ewden Bank

Climbs, the turns round at trig point, that is considerably higher than the road, with a crazy descent

It is indeed, getting involved with any race organisation

Years ago (early 90s) we used to help with local (ish) MTB races, & it was like herding cats whilst teaching chinps that rules were rules
