Any runners on here? I had stopped running for a few months due to bad knees, but I've been gong to physiotherapy, and i am now starting walking to build up to running.
I bought some cool new runners today so I'm feeling pumped and motivated to get some muscles back in my legs! Anyone wanna talk running?

I used to go for a small 6km run every morning but I started getting knee problems so my physio told me to swim instead! Running is pretty bad for your joints so... no more running for me.

I need to get some new runners myself. I don't technically run though more like endurance jogging. I go jogging every other day and when i'm feeling ambitious I will take the time out to jog across a bridge near by. The whole run is a total of 5 miles.

Yes well, hopefully I can strengthen up the muscles to protect my knees so I can run. I am an inefficient swimmer so I find I get really tired swimming laps. Running suits me, so hopefully I can get back into it.

I'm on my highschool's cross country team

I can run a 400 in 82 seconds, and a 3000 in 12 minutes. Not spectacular, but good enough considering i've only been running a lot for two weeks.

I ran 400 in HS, personal best was :57.3 but that was along time ago, and I was 170 compared to my 235 now. Stick with track and cc though, they are the best sports in High School.

I run pretty regularly, usually variations of the same route. Need to plot some more! Usually range from 5-10km which is a nice distance for the evening. I find it a good way of winding down, escapism and a good excuse for a playlist! I love it when you find a song that perfectly matches your pace and you can stride to the beat.

As track running goes I used to do 100m in 12-13 seconds but that was a good 5 years ago now. I now play less and less sport so use jogging/running as a way to keep fit and at least curb the weight gain which is inevitably going to happen. Not stop, maybe alter the gain from exponential to arithmetic. Here's hoping.

If I wouldn't pass out after the second lap at that pace. I'm a one and done kind of guy. 6:05 was my fastest mile.

My best mile is 6:31, it's too bad my legs are so short. I'm thinking about doing track in HS but idk, it's a lot of work. In other news Usain Bolts breaks his own record for the 100 meter.
