OFF the COUCH UPDATE.......Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another...

"...What! You too? I thought I was the only one.

... and how many times do we see that last line, written in these posts?

You can't breathe properly either? You are going slow? Why is this hard, is anyone else feeling like this?? "

Hello RUNNERS !!!

This is the opening of a post, I wrote 4 years ago....when I had only just begun running.

Well... after the response to the very first, OFF the COUCH post, we have certainly started something...! There are a whole load of friends all ready to run together and support each other

So.... a new post is going up tomorrow, with important, and hopefully useful links and tips.

BUT.... ( there's always a BUT ), we need, You , to tell US what you would like us to give you support and advice about.. what you would like to talk about...and, as the posts get going, talk to each other... read each other's replies... read each other's posts; support and encourage each other... that is what the forum is for and what it is based on... running and friendship.

So, please, have a think tonight, and when you see the OFF the Couch post tomorrow... maybe comeback with some suggestions in your replies...we will see what we can do.

Bras, shoes, headphones, apps, tracking devices, running clothes / layering, socks, hydration (do we carry water?), recommended podcasts...??? That was what I was searching for when I started reading posts...

Discovered motivation, humour, kindness and friendship.

Oh yes... so much more than one foot in front of the other

So looking forward to this - I love the support on here, it’s what keeps me going. And I also love to support others on here, to try to keep them going. I’ll be looking for your post tomorrow 👍😁

Just what we want.... support and supporting... and it never stops, whatever level we are at...
