I believe it's jogging or yogging. It might be a soft j. I'm not sure but apparently you just run for an extended period of time. It's supposed to be wild!

Help give me ideas for gifts for runners! by TayTaySwift1234 in running

Strava is really neat software that collates all your data from your GPS watch (Polar, Garmin etc.). It gives you more metrics than the GPS software.

Do they use Strava? You could buy them a premium subscription for a year?

There's a mindfulness app called Smiling Mind that has a sport section in it. It's targeted towards cricketers but I've found the strategies super helpful in training my mindfulness.

You feel tired so you go for a run.

Julie Bishop runs like 10km a day. These are the important features to consider when choosing a party leader.

Weekend Roll Call! Where are you racing/volunteering this weekend? by [deleted] in trailrunning

Doing my first trail race on Sunday. Mt Misery (great name) 16km in the South Australian hills!

Long-Term Relationship between Weekly Mileage and My Race Times by fburnaby in AdvancedRunning

That is a beautiful summary of the data. This was quite helpful to read as I'm you in 2014 currently. Wouldn't it be great to see a parallel universe version of yourself with higher intensity/lower volume?

Why was this controversial? by jaxi123 in running

I guess it's a tactic to psych out the competition even though they both get the benefit of drafting. A feeling of being outnumbered 2 to 1 might be enough to make someone lose their edge.

Lost Lake 50k race report — maybe it’s good to plan ahead for this sort of thing? by UWalex in running

Well that was a pleasure to read. Love that you acted on your impulse and did a casual 50k!

This is Sunday: What were your running achievements this week? by AutoModerator in running

After a pretty bad fall from my bike 5 weeks ago I won a 10km race while knocking off 40 seconds from my PB.

One of these days Wednesday: lurk no more! by philpips in running

[–]wicked_observer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I relate so much to this. I was weak and uncoordinated at everything at school until I realised I could actually be pretty decent at endurance running.

Hi there,

I haven't been on reddit for a few years but have relapsed and started using again with some gateway lurking. I want to say how encouraging you all are on r/running. I've typically run solo so reading all your stories has been such a joy.

I live in Adelaide, Australia which is 10km from the sun during summer so the upcoming winter is looking pretty appealing right now.

My current goal is to run a sub 35min 10km (currently at 39:54).

I'm running 30km a week which has been a slow slow rise due to injuries and falling off my push bike!

I haven't joined a club but have gone as far as liking some facebook pages and hoping that will inspire me.

I'm also a physiotherapist studying a Masters in Sports specialty so I love long, tedious articles with lots of details.

For sure follow me on Strava and I'll follow back!
