Hey. I thought I'd give this a shot, just a general chat thread about running... eg. How was your run today, how are you tracking, how's your training going for that race that you decided to go for etc... if it's popular, maybe someone knows how to write a bot to post weekly or monthly? (I don't)

Six weeks ago I finished my couch-to-10k training, and ran my first 10k after a gap of 3.5 years. It went well, but the fatigue lasted for two weeks. Afterwards, I fell sick and couldn't start running for two more weeks. Finally last week, I started training again, for a faster 10k. And I realised that running couple of times a week actually makes me feel more rested and full of energy, as compared to a more sedentary life.

isn't it such a bummer how right all those self righteous arseholes telling us to get off our arses to feel less tired were?

I was a couch potato (well active but not athletic) till 30s and the benefits are frustrating large. Still mad about it.

This is a real achievement. Congratulations!
