Morning
I'm very new to this running thing and have been told I can get some great advice and support from the people on here. Is this true?

Yes, this is a great place for advice and support, but you are better off posting in the beginners board as Clubhouse tends to be a lot less serious. There will be a lot of like minded people on the beginners board whereas here is more like a pub where you get a lot of banter and friendly abuse.

less serious?
pub?
banter?
friendly abuse?

I thought it was a running forum not a hang out for wannabe drunk masochistic comedians?

I think you'll find a lot of the people here are drinkers with a running problem

What makes you think the two are mutually exclusive?

You need advice ?

Get decent shoes and rotate them.
Listen to your body.
Vaseline anything that moves.
Be very suspicious of clowns.
Don't run a Marathon at two weeks notice.
Never respond to lifts to Silverstone threads.
Yes they're all 26.2 miles. Apart from the ones that aren't.
Yes your gps read a different length.

Have fun.
