rudi-h Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I only run 2 times a week,3 times max. I get injuries (knees, shin splints etc) if I run consecutive days. Most runs are 6km. A long in my book is 8 or 9. Intervals work well, I managed a 9 km in sub 40 the other day on a treadmill, so don't know why all the training programmes advocate huge distance.

Mats Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I can only run at one pace... SLOW! I did however get a second pair of running shoes last week.And i can tell you that road shoes are much faster than trail shoes for normal day to day running.

Rocket-Boy Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Stap moemfie. Stap. Come do a parkrun with me saturday at ebotse. If you battle...my dog will pull you along He loves it...you just sort of lie down on your face and let him drag you.That is some of the best advice going, start with parkrun. I hated running until I did a few parkruns. On sat Im going 50 so it seems parkrun is going to be part of my weekend for a long time still.

DIPSLICK Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I check that park run at modders yikes it looks wildly congested
Rocket-Boy Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I check that park run at modders yikes it looks wildly congestedModders is pretty bad. I know they are getting some new parking organised for it and looking to get another event going to try break it up a bit. A good friend of mine is the race directory for the modders parkrun.Seriously though, parkrun is a good way to start. I can tell you for 100% sure that you will not be the slowest person even if you have never run before and its a really good bunch of people.
Raab Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I check that park run at modders yikes it looks wildly congestedIts bever congested at the front of the race ;-)
