My pb for 10k is 39:18 although I think I'd struggle with that now.

I reckon that's a cock and bull story.

Excellent wordplay gents

I've been called a huge prick.

Two weeks ago, went out for a ~19mile training run with a mate (in prep for the Rab MM)

A couple of miles in I was running along a path I know well, chatting happily away, having a great time - right up until I tripped on a rock and went headfirst down a slope covered in brambles. My first ever proper fall, some pretty impressive scratching and lots of blood, but I washed a cut out, bandaged my hand with a buff, and kept on running. I was fine from then on.
My mate, on the other hand, was having a shitter and at mile 16 his calf cramp was so bad we had to give up and call my other half to come pick us up. We looked a right fucking pair, and felt it too -  him trying not to limp and me covered in blood.

Luckily the Rab didn't go quite so badly!

Too late Dave, the internet has seen your knees now, scary stuff

Why does this thread have four pages? The title said all that needed to be said.

in my second jog in several years I managed a 5k park run in 26:09 (4 days after my first one)

it took 6 days for my ankle to stop hurting

 Some week ago, my first sub-20min 5k in over 15 years left me searching for my breathe for 10 days. No problems with the ankle though

FFS lagers what are you doing running with your ankle history... *scolds*

Get on a bike or rowing machine or something....

Great shot 

A "ground breaking" performance?

I ride a bike to and from work 4 times a week

rowing really hurts my ankle

got to push it to get it to improve

see that 7 yr old kid elbowing me out the way? I'd have been at least 2 places further up the field if I'd not been subjected to such abuse

the camera man did well to get such a clean shot with me shaking the ground

I was unaware of just how slow people jog in the park run. I started off near the back and spent the first 2.5k weaving around people and even walking while penned in. I tried to compensate by running quicker after that, but my spazzy ankle limits my stride length and I ended up doing some grotesque Luc Meynet style lurching

That picture is one of the best adverts against running that I've ever seen.

Edit.
I know that I may sound as a mean bastard, considering other people's efforts, etc., but please, please, do yourselves a favour and don't go running.
Walk, sprint, but please don't jog.

[lagerstarfish]

that's not running, Nibs

it's a pic from the Hunters Bar Techno Festival in August

I tend not to believe you Lagers. 
Sorry I edited my post while you were typing.

D G R! Don't Go Running 

Sorry to inflict these appendages on folk - they should be chopped off, and clipped into as in-situ knee bar protection.

Phew.

[Nibile]

I think it's time for a "Don't Go Running" t-shirt.

I just love his resenting hateful glare towards the sprightly young lad acting as pacemaker.
