"Fast" runners out there?
I get a lot of inspiration from reading everyone's running stories, and many "beginner" runners remind me of how I started out - I don't even remember why, but it was one of the best choices in my life. Now, 10 years on, I've gotten faster, and my current level is around 37 min / 80 min for 10k and half, respectively.…

Accountability buddy wanted
I'm 34 and in reasonably good shape, but I would like to lose five kg. I run nearly daily, and I believe I know what it will take me to get to my goal over the next few months. I am not looking to start a diet that will change my life (I am a vegetarian, but not to lose weight), just a reasonable, negative energy balance.…
