Have you tried your local club? Better chance of finding local runners there...

You could alway contact Bilbao AC.

Some of their athletes i.e. Rosemary Ryan, may go for a morning run.

What do you mean by "serious jogging partner"? At the risk of spliting hairs, what you're saying is a bit of a contradiction in terms. Jogging in itself would indicate someone whos not so serious about their training.

Running at 6 every morning is pretty serious in my book.

No, maybe the OP is looking for someone who's not light-hearted and jokey, but who jogs

I wasn't trying to be a smart arse, its just that there are different interpretations of "serious." Sounds like you'd benefit from joining a club, put the fitness you've built up to good use. Plus theres no better way to up your game than to train with people who are faster than you are at present.

i agree with you !that would be great to run with faster people,but my only time to go is 6-7 and i would do my usuall but its too dark for me to go alone at that time:)

I didnt quite understand what you were saying there, did you mean that its too dark at 6am to run on your own? Or is it too dark at 6pm?

Too dark at 6 am.

Too dark at 6 am.

But how is it unsafe to run at 6am? I'd think it was safer to run at 6am than 6pm.

You're a guy, right? I think 27 year old females have to calculate things differently, and might not consider it safe to run alone at either 6am or 6pm.

If all 27 year old females didn't feel it was safe to run alone at certain times of the day, some of us would never get any running done.

Thats what I was thinking. How unsafe is it at 6am? Even though Im a bloke I would say that people up to no good wouldnt be even out of the scratcher at such an hour. Like RK said you cant let what might happen stop you.

Is it really difficult to understand why a young woman might want a running partner to run in the dark at 6am?
Is it so difficult to offer constructive advice?
Do I need to sit you all down and give you the lecture on sexism and the internet?

Are you an expert in the field?

RayCun

I've read enough articles like this, or this, to be more of an expert than I'd like.
Men have it easy online. If you go to a computer game forum, you get to talk about computer games. On a running forum, you get PMs about running. Politics blog? Politics comments.
But a lot of women don't use names that identify themselves as women because it means that half the comments they get will be about them being women - post a pic/show us your tits/will you be my girlfriend/**** you bitch. Not all women, not all the time, not everywhere, but far too much.

RayCun

You had to ask :rolleyes:

1. Jaysus, don't shoot! :eek:

2. With all your time spend on Boards, when do you get to read these articles?:D

3. You're preaching to the choir!

Fair play ray.

I certainly would not run around my area at 6am on my own... there are plenty of weridos out there at any time of the day.

The latter part of your post backs me up so. Just because I live in Ballyer doesn't make me a Ballyer head. Thanks for your support, I can always rely on you.

What? Are you serious with those comments? Point out to me exactly what I, or anybody else said here that was sexist?
Way over the top with that post.

Sexism may be alive and well on the internet, no doubt about that, but again, point out to me how anybody on here is being sexist? You're jumping to conclusions and being too heavy handed.

Mr Slow

I don't think Ray was suggesting that sexism was at play here, just that if a guy had put up the same post there wouldn't have been a discussion, he'd just get directed to the 'group run' thread.

He got a little bit excited but we're all entitled to an opinion.

What evidence is there to suggest that there was sexism at play? I was genuinely interested to know why there was a problem running at 6am. Way too touchy lads, people need to be able to ask questions without being accused of sexism. Thats political correctness gone over the top.
Yes people are entitled to their opinions but you gotta think things through and get all the angles before you make accusations.

I think we've gone off topic...

1. The OP wants a running partner
2. RQ thinks she's getting away with Portebello

Fair point, I've nothing else to contribute to this (a combination of meh and lack of interest )

Seres

In fairness seemed like she was been hassled a bit bout wanted someone to go running with a 6 am . All she was lookin for was constructive advice. Her reasons shouldnt have to be explained or questioned .
