No argument there Nin although Porthcawl Parkrun at 9.00 am on a Saturday morning is pretty good too.
I use to beat most of the Navy guys in squash when I was 11 .They use to phone my dad , after I had beaten them , to see if I could come up to the gym to play them again . Once they beat me , they would never play me again . " Totally different range of of movement " ..exactly , why put any more strain on your knees by running if they got that ruined by squash . All my sisters and brothers , except for me , were massive swimmers and divers ... Watched my sister on " Wild World of Sports " on TV in the Pan Am Games ... That was special . I hear ya though , boring .
