That was a bad idea?

On hols,no bike so I decide to go for a run.
I haven't run in maybe 10 years and as my sig says I only have 2 speeds nutter or stop😁
About 3.5 miles in total and around halfway the thighs ached,when I stopped the calves ached and I couldn't sit down without doing the "grunt of pain"

I’ve reached an age when my only option is not to stop doing it or I might not be able to start again.

I've knackered one knee sufficiently that jogging is out of the question, not that it was given serious consideration before...

Wrong way round: you're finding room for the bike. The 'how' is the easy bit

No room in the car , next to the roofbox is the only space

Solution: sell the car as it obviously isn't fit for purpose and it takes too much space.

Few months back i decided to run with the dogs (3km), lets say i won't be doing it again...... took 2 weeks for the knee pain to go away

Hols with a bike ? that's why we go (we take 6 bikes with us) no excuses then

The Thule roof rail mounts work well next to a roof box, it's how we used to carry one of ours.

This is very true, I was forced to stop running at age 63 because of a cycle accident, I did try after a couple of years but couldn't walk the next day, fast forward to 2021 we acquired a treadmill, so with gentle jogging and a slow build up I am back running, I managed a park run 2 weeks ago I was passed by people with pushchairs but was happy to get round without any problems.
I did some of my favourite type of running last Saturday tracks, trails and all off road, it was fantastic and the first runners high for years.
