"Interesting...most people run, then join a club to run with coaching & social aspects, but if the club folds they still run...or maybe not...hmmm." I only run for the social aspect. Unless I lose my senses, I won't be doing any races over 10k, mainly because I'm lazy and can't be bothered to do the training. | |||

"I've been running for 10 years now, and never once run with a club. Running is "me time", I like the solitude and the freedom to do the distance and pace i want to.

No, always on my lonesome, other than races. I do love the social side of racing though, meeting up with friends and sharing a post race beer or 3 ![]() | |||

Yes, training for a half isn't bad (I have run then in the past). But you can't just turn up on the day and run one. A 10k I could. | |||

"Wish I could get better at running but I struggle literally after about 1km sometimes, it's not my breathing I get tight calf muscles...I'm also relatively fit as I've played football all my life and still twice a week sometimes three times a week...only thing I can think off is that my body/legs are too used to football i.e interval type of exercise. .when I play football I'm non stop but if it's continously I get pains in my lower legs...any tips? " I do triathlons so the three different discipline, you need to introduce your running by a walk run method, try and do a little cycling I'm between it helps your legs adjust to different muscle groups, make sure you stretch before and after it will help with reducing muscle aches good luck | |||
