Introducing GCH "Running Shorts"...

Running Shorts Wordle
Judging by the number of views, the first batch of GCH Running Shorts posts has gone down very well.

However, the mail-box is now running on empty and we are waiting on other club members to contribute. So, if you are interested in compiling your thoughts on all things running-related, please do get in touch. Full instructions are available via the following post.

Paul Fallon's Running Shorts

Paul Fallon
1. How long (in years!) have you been running regularly?
Well, regularly, about 2-3 years. I ran a hell of a lot though when I was a teenager, sometimes hitting 70 miles+/week. As a result of this I spent most of my 20s & 30s recovering!

2. Why did you start running?
Because I couldn’t play soccer (actually I couldn’t run very well either as a kid, which shows how bad I was at soccer). Also, to copy my big brother.

1. How long (in years!) have you been running regularly?
I started in 1995 so almost 15 years, but was inactive and got fat from 2001 until last year.

2. Why did you start running?
I always loved sport when I was younger, unfortunately due to an injury to my arm I was unable to compete at contact sports, so I took up running, anyone who runs for a period of time can’t help but fall in love with the sport.
