Just listening to this myself!

"...The need to break the 40 min barrier for 10K..."

Ha! I'm fine for 5K in that time thanks...

Me too, speed is for some a great goal. I would enjoy a 40 minute 5K, for me it is getting out and about on my own, exploring and keeping healthy - that is about all for me right now!

Fantastic, brings a tear to ur eye! So true to life!! 😉

Thought provoking. I certainly enjoy splashing through puddles! I run, I think, for three main reasons:

1) It helps me feel less stressed and anxious.

2) I am healthier (for me and my family)

3) It is totally 'freeing'.

Simples!😀😀😀

I think my reasons are very similar!

1) It improves my fitness.

2) It helps me "escape" from the stresses of the rest of my day.

3) It is something I can do for me that is different to anything else in my life at the moment.
