Introducing GCH "Running Shorts"...
Submitted by seamusc on Thu, 2009-12-10 16:56
The idea behind "Running Shorts" is to introduce GCH athletes to the individual running interests, motivations and achievements of their fellow runners in the club (and hopefully raise a laugh or two along the way as well).

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.

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.

Brendan Glynn's Running Shorts

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.
