I'd call myself a beginner at all this running but feel ive acheived so much in such a short space of time.

Last night i opted to leave the car at the office and ran home (an almost 6mile course) as luck would have it I had my running gear in the car. I think it could become a regular occurance in these 'summer' months.

From someone who hated anything athletic at school, 10 years later, im finding running really enjoyable, Ive covered 45miles in 8hrs 49mins so far

Anyone else commute in their running gear?

I do. I have no car so I alternate running and cycling. It's easy and doable as we have lockers and showers at work. On days like this when there's torrential rain Id rather catch a bus or buy that car though

I used to have a scooter too that id use when my legs needed rest but someone stole it two weeks ago

I work in Chiswick and live in Slough, so a few times I've run the 16 mile picturesque route on the A4 past Heathrow. At the end my ankles are always black.

I regularly run as part of my commute (and not just in the summer )

I live about 16 miles from my office, and although I occasionally run the whole way my norm is to get a train and get off a few stops early.....

I cycle to and from work. I somethimes run but it's not really doable that often. My current commute is between 11 and 13 miles and I often only work a 6 hr shift so I'm not up for 26 miles in one day. No trains or buses, well not if I don't want an hr on the bus just to get 3 miles closer to work.

I have an xc route planned that is only 8.25 miles but it does need to be dry otherwise I'll be running underwater.

Aw sorry to hear about scooter Elli.
I wish I could commute like that, but I work 30 miles away so unless I turn into Scott Jurek it's not gonna happen
