Running General Chat - Weekly Thread Sat 7 September 2024
Just a general thread about running. How's your running going? What are you training for? Did you get new shoes? Sporting an injury etc.
You're viewing a single thread.
My neighbor mentioned he likes to run, so I volunteered to join him. I need the motivation. But it turns out he prefers to drive to a nice destination and start from there? That seems like way too much work for me. Ever heard of someone doing that?
Yes, I do the same 🙂 I drive 5 minutes to be able to start running in the national park. Instead of 3 km up over pavement (and back). Or, for my Sunday long runs, I like to go further away to see new sights.
Yes I've heard of many people doing it like that. I don't get it, it completely nullifies the point of running being quick and easily accessible IMO. If you're pro or semi-pro and training for an event type that your local area doesn't provide the optimal training conditions for, it makes sense. But for the other 99% of us that are just recreational runners, it just seems silly.
