allmatthew 26 Nov 1:50pm, 26 Nov 2024 193 posts	0 allmatthew Perhaps one of the good things that has happened to me with running is that I've oddly become less jealous of people with natural talent. There are lots of people at the club who run very fast times with seemingly not much mileage and I'm resigned to the fact that I do (relatively speaking) run a lot of miles and will never be as quick as them. But that's OK. I can only control myself, and if I can continue to squeeze out improvements then I can keep being proud of them. Comparison is the thief of joy, and all that!

Windsor Wool 1 Dec 3:57pm, 1 Dec 2024 6,574 posts	0 Windsor Wool Very flat splits lark, just never seemed to get going. Not one to dwell on tbh. Details in earlier posts Charles, per above, not interested in re-hashing 👍🏻.
