Hi guys, I wonder if a couple of you could help me with something. I'm a bit of an imposter on this thread and shouldn't really be posting here, but the question that I have will make sense to people on this thread so I thought I'd give it a go. Basically I'm an occasional runner who enjoys going out for a run, but as soon as I start to 'train' every day the enjoyment seems to go away and I end up packing it in. I've always been able to run a little bit, when I was 20/21 I could do 18/19 minutes for 5K quite comfortably without a huge amoung of training, and I'm 30 now so it's not too late for me to 'do' something. Yesterday I went out for a jog, 5 plesant miles in about 38 minutes and loved it, and I'm really looking forward to going again tomorrow, but I know that as soon as I start taking it seriously and running every day the enjoyment will fade, even though I'd really love to improve (genuinely). Do other people struggle with this? Or do you all just love getting out there all the time?. Should I just accept that I'm not cut out for it and just go jogging a couple of times a week and enjoy it, or should I push through? Even though I haven't been running I still enjoy reading this thread. I have huge amount of respect for all of you for having the balls to do something that I can never quite bring myself to do. It's particularly good to see people like TT and RWH doing well as I remember that you both had some nasty injuries a couple of years ago.
