I'd like to start running again, used to do it a long, long time ago. But I'm too scared to go on my own, not sure running round a park on my own is a smart move, well not until I have some idea where to go. I'm based in Sharrow - is there anyone I can tag along with, and who wont laugh at how unfit I am?

In reply to your topic thread, its quite easy. Very similar to walking, only with a little extra pace.

yeah kindalikewalking just lift your legs up andgo faster than walking

I returned to running in May and have so far ran over 120 miles since then - and that includes a lay-off of nearly three weeks after I'd had a vasectomy!

Whilst I understand your not feeling safe to run in parks I'm afraid that only leaves the option of a boring treadmill in some sweaty, expensive gym. You've just got to get out there and you should be safe enough providing you stick to main paths and run before it goes dark.

I do most of my running at lunch, running up towards and around Redmires. I started on 1 mile runs, followed by a ten minute run the next day and so on. Then I moved onto a week of one mile runs which has slowly increased to where I am this week, so far 4 three mile runs, one 4 mile run (which I've just come back from) and probably another 4 or 5 miles tomorrow.

I feel fantastic! Try this website, I'm sure it'll spur you on.

Good luck!!

Was it painful? Met a guy who got flu the week he had it done and he could only just manage to mount a Shirehorse he couldn't get his legs far apart enough.

Is that legal?

It depends how funny you run. If it's like Phoebe from 'Friends' then forget it !!! LOL:P

Hello, I usually run round Endcliffe Park a couple of evenings a week if you want to meet up, I'm pretty slow and usually have to stop and walk for a bit, I'm trying to improve so I can join a running club and not get laughed at!

They have a thing called the 'bull run' in a Spanish town every year, which I understand is very popular. They release a handful of bulls onto the streets, and then loads of idiots try to run ahead of them without being killed.

Apparently 'running with the bulls' is seen as one of the most masculine things a young Spanish male can do, so is therefore a perfect way to boost the confidence of gentlemen who are less-than well endowed.

As you can tell from the tone of this post - the 'bull run' does not meet with my approval at all.

But you've got to admit, it would certainly give you a kick start!:D

was recommended a website that might be of use, I'm starting their beginners programme tonight.

Hi,

I am in a womans running group that goes from Endcliffe Park called Rustlings Runners, we do 3-4 miles, different routes for summer and winter, it is not dead competative, just women who want to run together for fun and company, we meet at the Endcliffe Park entrance on the corner of Rustlings Road and Ecclesall Road, opposite Jimmy s Plaice Fish and Chip shop at 8 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays,

hope that helps, Alexandra.
