RE: I run for STEEM (#runforsteem), or beer, or ice-cream, or pretty much anything really
Thank you Trevor for participating in this weeks #runforsteem #challenge. We aren't big yet but we grew by 200% since we started the week before.
Crazy distance! you are a machine!
Thanks for that. i hope it all grows like topsy and you get loads of people participating ;-)
The distance was not so much, but there was some good elevation in that run, a bit over 1000 metres. And loads of gorse bushes.
I'll try to get the video of it up today.
It's one of those weird things though.... the same as when I was getting RUNCOIN from @dragosroua, if I was going to enter a run, I wanted it to be a good one, one that I worked hard on. Not just quick 10km round the block sort of run.
And that's one of the nice things about these sorts of challenges - they encourage me to go longer and harder. So thanks for starting this up. Let's see where it all goes........ ;-)
Oh jeez, makin us normies feel bad.
No, don't feel bad. Your run is your run. There are a lot of people running longer than me and almost all of them run faster than me. So don't compare your run to mine, compare your run to your last run (or previous runs).
We are all doing it for different reasons and targeting different distances. For example, my brother-in-law is targeting a trail marathon next year. I'm targeting the ultra marathon in the same race. I did it this year and got dead last. So I'm hoping to improve that finish next year :-) He has very long legs and runs so much faster than me, but I do much longer distances than he does.
So we each have our own strengths and strategies. Just enjoy the running and don't try to compete with others (unless you're in a race). you'll find it all works much better that way ;-)
Thank you for this! Very encouraging - I want to get out running again - we have been mostly doing hiking for the last few years, thus I usually only run downhill ;p
hehehe I know what you mean. I picked my 10km circuit because it is mostly flat. but that did not serve me quite so well in my last ultra, so now I'm getting my hill work in also.
And in doing so I have learned how to run up hills in a way that is so much easier than the way I used to do it. I'm finding I can tackle big hills, going up and coming back down, without the usual heart attack and aching knees.
But with all that, when I get to a flat(ter) section it's always a relief ;-)
