I like the bit where they get to a red man and they are waiting for the green man.

They do jogging on the spot

I'm not a jogger knocker by the way.

That's my kind of running.

I hate running and I play sport every week, I must be like a dog. Chuck a ball into the equation and I'm fine with it.

That was awful, gives a bad name to fellow joggers. Amazing reactions by the bus driver.

Or like a hat with a bag of mini eggs dangling on the front of it.

I'd be dribbling and panting all over the place.

They have gone on a proper holiday now by the way. 2017 the shittest summer ever.

Not really. I remember reading that jogging adds one minute to your life for every minute you jog. But you're giving up that minute to be miserable jogging so you can get that minute back when you need a nurse to wipe your bottom for you.

Jim Fixx, creator of jogging, died at 52, while out jogging.

Other research found that people who didn't worry about dying lived longer.

I remember buying a 'walkman' years ago to give me some music when I ran, that didn't work as it made the artist sound d*unk and slurry.

Then a few years later a 'discman' but all that did was skip and you lost 5 seconds of music every few seconds.

At least with a phone the music dosent skip or warp

I think if I started again my route would have to be worked out by proximity of community defib machines!

Either that or as Lightson mentions, we all slow down and stroll around the block!

Fair play mate. Think of the sense of achievement at the end, it's great.

So true lol and where we live in a very little village every Sunday morning the committed cyclists go by, we are still grinning from our Saturday night out fun and they all look so miserable and in pain! Maybe they are smiling on the inside

I'm a happy jogger. Lucky enough to live by cannock chase forest which is a protected area of outstanding natural beauty so it's beautiful scenery to go jogging there in the forest.

Good effort, it's worth it. I've used running as a tool to lose 4 stone amongst other things. Get the endorphins pumping.

Urgh.

That kind of internet nonsense is exactly what puts people off starting in the first place.

I jog because i can't yet sustain a run.

I jog because even though it hurts I've lost 4 stone.

I jog because my mental health is a million times better.

I jog because it's increased my sex drive and I've found my mojo.

Ultimately it's for yourself. So if you feel all the positive you mention then keep it going.

No **** Sherlock.

What I was trying to say was that 'runners' holier then though comments and attitudes are exactly what stopped me from starting in the first place.

If it wasn't for friends, parkrun and some fab support from people my insecure fat self wouldnt have seen the positive and could only hear snide comments.
