An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I do what I call Long run Sunday funday.

During the week I do short runs, 2.4 to 3k each day or so, but then on Sunday I push put to 5k

I've done this for years on and off due to an injury.

At one point long run Sunday funday was a 10k run while regular runs were 5k.

I found that just doing one longer session a week allowed me to stretch it all out over time.

I'm currently walking in order to build up to light jogging. I began a few weeks ago so it might be a few more before I transition to jogging and then to running.

A few years ago I did a Zero to 10k and got to 4.5 miles in 13 weeks before I stopped. I'm hoping this time I won't stop.

Yeah best advice I have is take it slow and if you're hurting have a break.

A break today is better then a breakdown tomorrow

That's true, I can be a little stubborn with exercise induced pain. I’ll go back down to 1.5 hours for a few more weeks. Thanks!
