Jogging is horrible

[HellNoHellYeah]

I just went jogging.

It is something I have done before but not for a year or so.

I didn't find it difficult but nevertheless it was an unpleasant experience.

When I do yoga, I actually find the entire experience pleasurable and it has done a good job of keeping me fit over the years.

What is good about jogging? Is it the endorphins?

[reetpetite]

Depends where you run . I find running somewhere pleasant like the park is so much better than just round the roads or the perimeters of the parks or commons, but then I enjoy the great outdoors ,doing yoga or similar exercise indoors would bore me rigid.

Physical fitness is something people seem to take for granted these days. I exercise regularly. Jogging in the park (treadmills are for those that enjoy an ironic workout) and the Gym.

Please feel free to add the whole 'one armed exercise' accusation but please show some imagination.

[PeckhamRose]

I do not exercise regularly and I really should, but it is what to do which is the question.

I have crap lungs and a crap back so can't do much! I find exercising per se sooooooo boring no matter what I do or what I used to do. Cycling even is not an option! But a good walk is usually possible and we are lucky here in having so many parks and open spaces to walk in.

Last week I went up Brenchley Gardens and One Tree Hill. Fabulous views too!

Jogging is indeed horrible, HNHY. That's why I don't do it. Strolling around Dulwich Park one evening last week we were fascinated by the spectacle of a mass jog. Round and round they went, that human throng. The first two runners were the picture of human grace, strength and beauty, flying along rhythmically with such elegant bounding strides and admirable raw power. The rest of the mass, strung out pathetically behind them, looked like extras from a bad zombie movie, their inelegant lurching, asymmetrical pounding and ugly puff-puffing, wheezing and gasping, making you wonder, really, why they were bothering. Not very aesthetic.

Jogging is just plain unpleasant. Done it and hate it. There just isn?t any fun in it. I much prefer wiz planking, yoga, fighting with people outside kebab and wine and running away from the police.

How do you get the police to chase you? Do you have to pay them?

Jogging is horrible if you have large boobs.

Have you considered buying a bra? I've got a none-too-small bust (34D) and I find a bra stops too much breast action. Something worth thinking about...

I've heard that trampolining is much worse :))

Was that an attempt at Morse Code Rosie?

[RosieH]

Aye, summat like.

[Mick Mac]

A bra stops breast action - Exclusive.

[RosieH]

Sadly t'aint true, only reduces Mick, only reduces.

*sighs*

[Mick Mac]

Oh dear Rosie - I do feel for you.....

[Mick Mac]

but my reach does not appear to be lomg enough. I'm not feeling any love coming back.

I've found the Shock Absorber Level IV croptop style bra to be the best at reducing boobage bounceage - nothing eliminates it when you get up to the higher letters in the alphabet. But I can do aerobics and I've run a half marathon without fear of giving myself or others black eyes when I'm wearing one of those despite being substantially bigger than a D cup. It's got a racer style back (with 4 hooks - 2 top and 2 bottom) so you do feel quite secure in it.

I'd really like to get involved in this thread but I'm afraid I don't feel qualified, on any level. It makes great reading though. Carry on.

I find that an extra tight three wolves T-shirt helps to keep the moobage in place whilst allowing the beer and curry belly to breathe nicely and gain a tan.

I commend them to you gentlemen.

[brum]

Thanks Mike. Clicking on your link, I notice a very interesting adaptation of this being worn by a rather foxy lady. May I commend that particular version for our lady joggers?

[taper]

I've been running for two years and still find it horrible, but utterly addictive. The horror, the pain, the physical exhaustion are just things you need to come to love. Because ultimately you will run faster, longer and get fitter, and this makes you feel real good. Plus it's cheap - ?60-100 will get you on the road, plus a quid's worth of vaseline a month. See you on the Rye. I'm the fat bloke you just overtook.

I remember when me and my brothers were little my dad drank too much beer at a family BBQ and we tried to convert the rythme of his farts into morse code whilst he was asleep. Dot..Dash..Dot..PAARRRPPP.

[LegalEagle-ish]

I like jogging. I used to like running, but I'm getting a bit older and slower so can only manage a jog nowadays. In fact i'm going for a nice jog round the park with my dog in a bit. Helps get yesterday's beer out of the system!

[wee quinnie]

I love the reviews under the t-shirt. Makes me want to buy loads.
