Running Clique

Damn, I came on here to post about how today I managed a 3mile run in 30 minutes, average pace of 9.51 m/pm (I'm happy with that), only to read some of you fuckers have run 11 miles and 70km.

Fuck sake!

I've no idea what the end game to this running lark is. I initially started to get to a reasonable fitness for football, which I feel like I've achieved to an extent (I can rock up and play a game, without blowing out my arse within 5 mins!).

I was knackered towards the end of today's run, but I could've carried on, but needed to leave the gym due to attending in my lunch hour. I'd like to enter a run, just as something to aim for and work towards. But no idea where to start with all that.

Also, I'm doing the running on a treadmill, and I'm well aware running out and about is a very different beast.

Be careful doing too much on a treadmill.
Your ankles are designed to flex on uneven ground and you will have problems if you do too much treadmill when you run on roads and trails.
