It's actually pretty cool. I've started taking him running with me once a week. He does well, but i push him pretty hard. It's teaching me to be comfortable running a bit slower as well. He did 7km on Wednesday night (while my 7 year old buzzed around us on a scooter)

PRO TIP: when eating the ice cream it's best to come to a complete halt. Trying to run and eat the ice cream at the same time can be tricky.
the first time i did a proper, organised run, with water stations, i realised i can't drink from a cup and run without drowning myself. spastic!

Good stuff!! Years ago I did a 10km run in wellington and for about half of it was paced by a 8-10 year old who had farking springs in his shoes. It was like an rhino (me obs) slamming along next to a bloody gazelle! He was in the Harriers running club so I only felt a wee bit bitter.
Luckily he upped his pace and I settled in behind a nice peach
#disclaimer - said peach was on a hot wahine, not a young man trying to run away from me!!

On a totally different tangent. Watched a vid on things to avoid doing in Japan - one of them was don't walk and eat/drink. You can stop wherever to eat or drink, but don't do it on the move. Not sure if safety based or ?? but it was the first thing I thought of after the obligatory Eddie Murphy ice-cream skit

My lad sort of attacks the pavement, really slappy feet. I'm trying to teach him to get some bounce and rhythm, and he gets a little better each time.

@mariner4life get him working on a midfoot strike - there's heaps of great vids online about it. As a solid dude it made a huge difference to my knees when I changed up my technique.
Man, the sun is shining and you sick fu$ks have me thinking about going for a run! I thought you guys were my bro's!!

I need to look at some coaching if i am going to do this properly. My knees are fucked from footy, and about 3km i get a stabbing pain in one spot on my knee joint. I then get a pain in my hip as my stride starts to compensate. It doesn't slow me down, but does get real fucking sore as i approach 10km
-
def check out that midfoot strike stuff bro. A pretty easy change to make and it made a massive diff for me. Fuck knees aye - intelligent design my ass!

I run regularly, but rarely anything more than 5km...1.79cm and 95kg aint made for long distance running.
I have run more than 10km 4 times ever, 3 of them were barely over 10km and the other time was 21km trail event (fucking stairs and more stairs and when it looks like oyu at the top, more stairs)
I ave about 5.15-5.30 per km.
@Paekakboyz that stuff just on Youtube?

Best way to start with a mid foot strike is to take off the shoes and run on concrete. Pain is your coach.
Then get some cheap flat shoes. I run in sandals half the time mid foot strike.
