Zwift Chat

I think you could probably also do that with the running side of Zwift - get one of those Bluetooth footpods that you tie to your shoelaces, and when you know you're off on a walk somewhere, put a phone with Zwift on it in your back pocket and knock out a handful of running XP at the same time, maybe even level up. I did think about doing this once but never got round to it, but I don't see why it couldn't work.

I'm quite proud of my zero km in Zwift running

I want some more badges dammit!

I'm never going to get the 1000 watts or higher badges, so if I can get some running ones without having to, you know, RUN, all the better!

Running is for those skinny weird people

I did a little blog post about my Audax. Hope it's at least slightly funny

It's also permitted if you are chasing someone who has just made off with YOUR bike.

I gave up running in 2019, having injured my ankle twice in the space of a few weeks while training for a 10K. It swelled up like crazy and I ended up having to wear an ankle support and do physio for months while it healed. I'd had other running injuries previously but this one, where it was so bad it kept me off the bike as well, was the last straw!

I still do a lot of walking though, so if I could game-ify that, it would be something fun.

I saw a lot of skinny runners out on the local hill roads on Saturday.

I would like to go running but, like @steverob, the last time I did it I injured myself so it is probably not a good idea to do it again!

If I do give way to temptation, I think I will try that odd shuffling style which is slower and gentler, reducing the risk of injury, and giving 'proper' runners a laugh.
