The_Saint Jun 2018 10:54am, 29 Jun 2018 6,268 posts	0 The_Saint What I don't like is this weird assumption that if someone is not doing something in my approved manner then they aren't really enjoying it, this is what I didn't like about the parkrun podcasts. I will never enjoy running slowly or walking as opposed to running as fast as I am able, but this is just me and this is no better or worse than any other approach.

Bargoed Backmarker Jun 2018 4:24pm, 29 Jun 2018 10 posts	0 Bargoed Backmarker I guess I've just done this today then... 6 days after a half marathon, and just wanting to get back into the swing of things without going mad, I set off on a 12.5 mile walking route and walked about half of it (especially the steep uphills but other bits just when I felt like it) and ran the rest - without worrying about the time. I stopped and sunbathed for an hour and a half undisturbed on a mountain top, took photos of the scenery stopped for a drink and a sandwich and an ice cream and just enjoyed being outside ... Birds singing, sheep running away from me ... and loved it! And just out of interest, is what I did today that thing called mimbling???

Bargoed Backmarker Jun 2018 4:57pm, 29 Jun 2018 11 posts	0 Bargoed Backmarker Thanks Greg It sounds like what a mimble should be anyway
Columba Jun 2018 6:36pm, 29 Jun 2018 15,837 posts	0 Columba Thanks, I've wondered idly from time to time what mimbling is. I have the Chi running book. It was recommended by a gait analyst. I usually do the "looseners" by way of warm-up and less often the stretches afterwards.
