    Been having physio on a knee injury for the past six months para, but talking to him about doing just that next spring. It would be a lifetime achievement for me to do a 5k. I can walk 20k even now with a bad knee, but I have never been able to run it.

    t take my hat off to anyone that can :thumbsup:

    All that Lycra. Well done.

    A friend of mine down in Exmouth is taking part in the Glow In The Dark 5k neon run tonight to raise money for the Down Syndrome Association. She's mad too!

    One of my friends coaches the local couch to 5k groups, I went along as a run buddy for one of the courses this year, the transformation some of them make in the 10 weeks is amazing

    Anything that comes to hand really,but take into account terrain ,for instance Bakewell tart for hilly stuff or Victoria sponge for easy flat runs and I always recommend Dundee if your nuts

    Sarah if you’re proposing we go night time skinny dipping then it’s a yes, but don’t laugh! ;)

    I presume you’re referring to the breathing technique really?

    She actually said "coz he can run down by the river and if he stops running I'll push him in".
