fleecy Nov 2012 3:55pm, 27 Nov 2012 4,934 posts	0 fleecy Ha, I looked at that photo and thought 'great running form' and then 'that runner means business' and then 'ooh, good arm muscles' I suppose it depends what you're used to. Mave: you must have some scary towpaths round you...And scary roads, the most I get is the odd bloke leering out of a van and the odd person tooting their horn at me, who usually ends up being a friend saying hello
runner duck Nov 2012 3:59pm, 27 Nov 2012 9,462 posts	0 runner duck my daughter's friend will only do really light weights in the gym because she doesn't want to get muscly! then again, she only does cv stuff at half speed as she doesn't want to look all 'sweaty and gross' i'm not entirely sure why she goes, at all. unless it's just my daughter (who is very bossy) making her!
Velociraptor Nov 2012 4:05pm, 27 Nov 2012 22,465 posts	0 Velociraptor Some of the towpaths around our way in Birmingham were a bit gruesome, though mostly with poor sods living under the bridges As with the roads, I never got bothered much when I ran, possibly because I looked like a prepubertal boy from a distance and a batty but harmless old lady from close up

Mave Nov 2012 4:39pm, 27 Nov 2012 266 posts	0 Mave The towpaths are littered with drunks unfortunately. I still like to run them though, am just careful of the times I choose to do it. Same with the roads. I try and avoid the ones where I know I'll get hassle.
Velociraptor Nov 2012 4:44pm, 27 Nov 2012 22,469 posts	0 Velociraptor I was never worried about the drunks. They were more scared of me than I was of them.
Mave Nov 2012 4:57pm, 27 Nov 2012 267 posts	0 Mave The quiet, slumped ones are OK. But the gangs tend to be quite gobby.
Velociraptor Nov 2012 5:03pm, 27 Nov 2012 22,471 posts	0 Velociraptor Aye, the lads clustered around the benches with their cans could be a bit impertinent sometimes. I suspect having no imagination has made my running a great deal easier
