Just found this web-site, so I thought why not!:d

Been running since '04 when I stared a mid-life crisis in the face, dropped 2 stones and never looked back!:p

I have managed to keep running, even though my wife and family think I'm nuts(they keep waiting for it to pass like every other fad!), I've done a few races(15) and I really enjoy them(when I've finished!).

P.S. Like the spell check option!;)

Welcome to the forum :)

After 'burning out' from doing too much running in the 80's, I had one of those mid-life crisis things and started running again in 2002... I was only going to do a few miles now and then to get fit

Since then I've run too many short races to count, numerous marathons, and 4 ultras...one of which was 52.4 miles :confused:

so.... beware, it gets us all in the end ;)

I think this is partly because motivation failed on my part to get up early every sunday morning to do it, and...

    Hi all, New to the forum, looking for tips on getting longer distances and any other helpful advice. Started running in early 2019 when my partner signed me up for a 10K as a "get in shape you fat git" challenge, and I haven't stopped since. Managed my 10K in 1 hour 2 minutes at the end of...

  5. Protein or not advice for newbie

    New Members
    62yr old female, slim, keen hiker but not run since I was in high school. Finished C25K in July and have continued to run 2-3 times a week. Do I need to be eating protein after runs? Additionally, just been diagnosed as prediabetic - what, me, how can that be? - so need to focus on those nasty...

  6. Hi all
