Do you enjoy running as a health activity?

Or would you rather keep fit in other ways?

Personally, I've started training with runs around 5km at least, fortnightly. Somehow after a while, the running becomes quite natural and not too arduous.

If you run, how often do you do so? What is your favourite time of day and week to run?

I am not much of a runner but I did start a few months back and was slow jogging. I am quite heavy and it took me a while to get use to the slow jog bug felt good everytime I tried - at most i think i would run 2kms and walk 2 kms. I enjoy walking more than running though.

walking is great as a low-impact activity. sometimes i feel i can walk for miles!

Yeah, I love running, I've been doing it for more than 20 years. I've been running in races that long too, and usually prefer races of 5 miles and up. For most races I need to travel at least 45 minutes to get to them, and to run a race of less than 4 miles or so doesn't seem like a good use of time for me.

When I go on casual runs around my neighborhood I usually do more than 5K, but it's more based on time. I try to go for 40 minutes or more.

that's interesting. i live in a small country so the races are held downtown.

If you are feeling fit (and are lol), I guess you will like it.

When I used to train competitively, 5km is considered a very short run. More like a starter. It's like, it ends because it even starts.:P

In such case, then yes, running longer is cool. But when you reach your "ending point", then the "when is it going to end" might just kick in.:PP

wow you must have trained for a marathon if 5km was very short in comparison.

I enjoy running very much. I usually run in the morning and run around 10km within 50 minutes. As I am living in Hong Kong it is hard to find a place that is remote and silent. I have to wake up early in the morning to get rid of the traffic and sometimes I have to stop between the traffic lights and thats really annoys me. Sometimes it is very humid and so polluted that I am hard to breathe.
I usually run with my nike plus equipment and records my running millage.
There are many road races through out winter and spring because it is cooler and less humid. The most crowded races is Standard Chartered Marathon. It attracts more than 50000 participants this year! Running is a very motivative sports that makes me feel energetic.


myLot reputation of 100/100. squaretile (2079)   ranked 2 out of 80 in running  8 months ago

i participated in the Standard Chartered Marathon too! but only the 10k. Yup, heard that the smog in HK can get quite bad...

I have lost contact with my running roots.
Now, I can hardly run without feeling any pain afterwards.

But running on the thread mill seems to be a lot more gentle on my body as compared to running on the road.

Its been a long time since I hit the gym. I guess I have to start again. Sigh... been doing nothing but gaining weight since I started to work.

I guess the best time to exercise is in the morning. But I will try to do that during lunch, as that is the only hour in the day I can really call my own most of the week.

I love running. I used to run 2 - 3 times a week. But I recently just straighten my hair, so... aiya.. have not been running for a couple of weeks. LOL
I always run at least 5km. I do my runs in punggol park. That's a great place for running if you live near there. I love to run at night when the weather is cooler. I also prefer running on weekdays. Actually any day is fine with me so long as I am in the mood for the run.=)
