Who came up with the term "real runner" anyway?
Does this mean then,that you can also be a jogger or a "real" jogger.
Where does it end?It implies a form of running snobbery to me!
I wish there was some consistancy.If some "runners" give the impression that all are welcome to the sport then others catagorise themselves a level above by calling themselves a "real runner" it would give slower people like myself a complex instead of offering encouragement.
Surely,just as we all have different levels of fitness,we also have different paces and our own ideas of what a jog or a run is.It is all very individual and a jog,in my mind cannot be secified as a pace in general.
If we followed some of the suggested criteria to determine what is a real runner,
Paula would think I was walking when I'm flat out!:eek:
