    Why are you telling my wife I don’t need expensive running shoes?! Teamwork makes the dream work, Fordy.

    8. You are not a runner if you cannot run continuously. If you walk during a run, you are not a true runner. What a lot of BS. 😡

      Walk breaks are great to help build endurance and manage fatigue on longer training runs. I've been running for 37 years and still take walk breaks

    Run streaks are the dumbest flex on instagram, it’s like giving yourself a high five for doing a bowel movement every day.

    Another one: the idea that you need to pay a premium for a designated "super trainer." Last year's used or deeply discounted race shoes will be just as if not more versatile and save you money for your utilities bill ;)

    Totally agree with all of these! To add to the weight loss part, you can run all the darn time and won’t lose anything if you don’t have the right diet. Calories in/calories out. There’s no way around it, even with running. 😎

    I’m 63 with 20 years of running behind me and I’ve found as I get older that 2 things are key to longevity…
    1. Rest and Routine
    2. Train less to race more.
    Good work as always Fordy 😉

    as someone with bad knees I can say running is defined bad if you use in the wrong shoes, but finding the right shoe (in my case the True Motion Nevos) enabled me to run much more and significantly improve my knee issues.

    "You need a running plan to improve." For the vast majority of runners, nah. Consistent work put in over time will lead to improvements. Probably not as quickly or efficiently as you would with a plan, sure, but you can get pretty decent with no plans.

    I initially took up running on the treadmill as a form of weight loss, along with the stair treadmill and rowing machine. I eventually caught the running bug and now absolutely love it. I have learnt too though that going full pelt every time is terrible for you. It really is crucial to mix up the speeds you go at for both better performance and mental well-being. I often find aerobic running (Zone 3) to be the most beneficial for me mentally. I love a good rest day too
