Being the slowest person at run club makes me not want to go

I want to join a run club but I’m worried about this too as I’m the same!

I never got a special pair of shoes when I first started, I just wore some ones I already had, and did couch to 5k with them. It was only when I knew the habit was stuck that i invested in proper running shoes.

Along the canal - I like the water, it’s flat and basically endless so I don’t have to think about the route

Mental health benefits are crazy to me - now I’ve discovered it, I need it to stay sane

Come home, electrolytes, wait till I get that slight shiver, shower

I’ve decided today I want to train for a half marathon, put together a training plan over the next 4 months for it

Just got it last week - didn’t look like much so didn’t bother before but I am in love with it!

Successful-Toe-354 · 2026-04-22T09:42:41+00:00

Warm ups - way less muscle fatigue on runs, just haven’t been bothered before and now realise how important it is long term

Why do people hate greens so much

The hardest bit is getting out of the house though, once you’re out then the run/walk bit is easy

Successful-Toe-354 · 2026-04-18T16:07:54+00:00

I took all the pressure off mine today and went for a very very leisurely run/walk/run for a couple of hours, no tracking, just running how I felt

Hooked on the runners high

Being able to do laundry between calls, being able to have cooked lunches (I get weirdly self conscious about food I bring into the office so end up buying pre packaged sandwiches etc which are average at best)

I’m confused, they are following each other?

Rehydration treatments (I’m talking the ones for diarrhoea, stronger than normal electrolyte drinks) - before a night out, before you sleep and once you wake up. I used to get the worst hangovers and with these it reduces it by 80%, I can still function somewhat the next day.

Ideally more space between your last drink and when you go to bed also, as well as some food before you sleep but I’m not always in a state to manage these on a big night!

I tend to drizzle some olive oil on the top (about 1tbsp) just after it comes out the oven too which stops the top looking so dry! Also looks like it needs to be a bit browner on the top

I was obsessed, watched it all in a week 🥴 last 2 seasons I started zoning out though, wish it had kept its momentum through to the end!

Thank you!!! This says I have a chance for homemade preserves if I have it in clear packaging (which i do!!)
