      This morning my right ankle was noticeably swollen, felt like I sprained it. Been hobbling around. Felt better after standing outside for an hour volunteering at parkrun. Guess what I am going to do now?

    I've definitely had lunch with non running friends and said "yeah, I decided to run a little half marathon this morning." They looked at me in horror.

    I was terribly disappointed after my very first 10k race, with 9.8k on my watch😥. My family at the finish line didn't understand why I kept running after the finish line. Nothing worse then runs with a not "round" km distance😀

      @nk-dw2hm Год назад +1

      This can become a Neverending problem too! Once I get to 5 miles I think "well 6 isn't much further" and then it's "well 10k is only another half mile" and then you might as well go up 7, and at that point let's just go to 10, and now you're close to a half-marathon...

    I used to do only HR zone training, but at one point I decided to go by feel (I was mentally exhausted by constantly checking my watch to see if I'm in the right zone). During the transition period, I'd go out with my friends and say something like, "I ran with no heart rate today, it felt so good!" They will probably never let me live it down lol

    I once left a board games night at 9pm and casually said I fancied running a half marathon when I got home. Non running friends are horrified. Sure enough I ran 36 laps of my 600m college field when I got back 😅🏃🏻‍♀️

      Ditto. My Forerunner 245 has stopped declaring my runs "unproductive" and started advising me to take extended recoveries. This morning, as I lined up for parkun, it was advising "17 hours" because: "poor sleep"; on finishing it advised a 52 hour recovery. Reason: "delayed by high activity"!
      Meanwhile, the app is suggesting I up my training load.
      Not sure what to do as I am not getting anything like enough speed or endurance training at present. Ho hum.

    Hey TRC Team! I love your videos and thought I’d drop this idea over to you for a future vid…
    There are groups on social media asking for guide runners to run with blind runners who can’t get out running for whatever reason such as not having a family member who runs or not knowing anyone who runs at their pace or not knowing anyone who can run at a time of day suitable to both. I haven’t personally been able to get involved as I’ve not found any blind runners local to me but it’s something I think is an amazing thing to be involved with.
    It would be great to raise awareness of/promote guide running to help that community. Thanks team!

  • @Jaigarful
    @Jaigarful 2 года назад +5

    Yeah, the military has a similar thing of getting overly(questionable) personable when it came to PT. There was a saying I heard my commander say once when we were crawling through mud just for fun, "Shared suffering breeds comradery." Which I found to be true, and I think its why people tend to feel close to others who they run with. There's something about struggling in the company of others that brings you closer.

      I had to go out for a longish trail run leading up to a 50k, and it was just above freezing, and raining. My husband was asking if I was sure I would be OK, and I said definitely, it's "only a 10 miler". The shock on his face... that was probably the first time I felt like a "real" runner! (Normally I'd skip the run and do some strength or yoga!)

    With running (and some non-running) friends definitely guilty of taunting each other to do longer races. "If no one has ever died trying to complete that distance does it even count as a distance race?" Or the old "if you're not sore the day after your run it really doesn't count."

    Great video! Definitely have heard a lot of these and said/did a lot of these.
    I can also Google this, but what is the distance of a park run / what are park runs? Is it a UK thing? I’ve only heard the term on this channel, never met anyone in the US use the term or heard the term on other running channel videos.

    • @kathrynhilder9609
      @kathrynhilder9609 2 года назад +2

      A Parkrun is 5km.
      It's a free timed event that's held every Saturday morning at specific locations.
      In Australia we have 415 Parkruns (I did a google search!) and there are new ones popping up regularly. But there are only 48 in the USA apparently.

    • @stephenwest977
      @stephenwest977 2 года назад

      I just checked and there are 49 park runs in the USA , so it is a thing. But that’s not many for a huge country. Doesn’t sound as though there are any in your area, so I guess it’s up to you to get it started.

    I have some questions about that snickers in the video ; I have sometimes wondered: can you pack a handful of chocolate bars in stead of energy gels, when you go for a long run? I have never seen anyone do so, but why not? Any comments anyone?

      I read an article that said a snickers bar is nutritionally equivalent to many "health" bars. I've never checked, but that's good enough for me!

      Some ultra runners use chocolate bars in races so you definitely can 😊

      @@runningchannel - thanks. I will definitely try it and try to figure out which helps my running to most - chocolate bars or energy gels. 👍😀

      @@Kelly_Ben - oh yeah, those "health" bars are not healthy at all. Now I will try to figure out, if they are more beneficial on my long runs than energy gels. 👍😀
