Running

I've moved from the hate it sector to the tolerate it sector. I'm not sure I'll ever love it as I do cycling. I've certainly never experienced the runner's high that many talk about. That said there is a certain satisfaction that goes with knowing you can do it :-)

I love running... most of the time. The only time I dread it is running outdoors when it's freezing/icy, running a long way on a treadmill, or going up massive hills, because big hills tend to agitate my knees. Other than that, running keeps me happy and healthy!

I must be a weirdo as I hate running with music and quite like running on the treadmill. Outdoors I always feel a bit self-conscious due to beetroot face (doesn't bother me in the gym but out in the open I guess part of me still feels like the chunky kid finishing last in cross country at school). I do love the sense of accomplishment of keeping going for as long as I can.

Like you, I'm signed up for a 10k in May so I need to get over it!

I'm not sure if the ID gives an indication of geographic location, but if so I'd suggest getting out onto the moors for some sessions.

Painful memories of the place but good for challenging running.
