We really should stop this slow/fast thing, no?

We simply run. No pressure, no requirements or high expectations. No sponsor is buying us gear and no scout is watching. We choose when and where to run, when to stop and where to shelter if it rains.

I'm not saying that pros are having torrid, ungrateful time, but let's just leave them with speed and pressure, and let us keep our own generous perks. And let's take them slowly

Yep☺ I'm happy being a Runner, not a Racer.

But God Bless ALL Runners

Well said!! I don’t care how far or fast I run (when I can!!) I don’t ever want to be fretting about pb’s etc.. that would take all the fun out of it...I just want to go for a gentle run with a few tunes a few times a week in the hopes it will take me into a healthier next 50 years!! 👍🏻

It would be terribly exciting to actually WIN something, but that's not happening over here -- it's very possible that walkers could outrun me But *I* am getting healthy. And although I am extremely vain and would like to hog all glory, I that isn't actually why I run...

The opposite to that statement is not good

Fast Runners

Make Slow Runners

Look (fill in this space - I can think of a few words)

That is one of the reasons where I like to run a Parkrun in one circuit - because you are not constantly being lapped by the swift and speedy, and have to scuttle out of their way to avoid being ran over! They fill me with awe but don't do much for my motivation because I will never get to where they are (well, I will, but much more slowly)

All I would say is that usually us slow runners at the back are having a great time, little chat here, bit of a joke there, encouraging everyone around. We are pleased to be last to save others the job 😃😎🤣🏃🏼‍♀️

I run therefore, I'm good 😆xxx
