GREAT MANCHESTER RUN

Sajid Iqbal —

The Great Manchester Run takes place every year where the general public take part to raise money for charity.

THIS YEAR I WILL BE TAKING PART INSHALLAH TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE PAKISTAN FLOOD VICTIMS:-)

So any advice, tips for the run would be great. As its a 10km run and I usually only run after the bus lol so its gonna be a challenge for me

And of course feel free to sponosr me!

Anyone else taking part?

😃

remember to remain constant, not too fast or to slow. And do some exercise regularly starting from now! Otherwise you might kill yourself lol

how do we sponsor?

The shias cut themselves at a certain time of the year.

you plan to go on a run.

I cannot approve of either type of bodily torture.

I've started my training...
walked for about an hour for a week or so and have just started jogging.... its hard at the mo!
I can run about 5 mins before having to walk and take a breather... so a long way to go yet 😃

Yeah, I'm doing it too.

@Ed you need progression. I jumped from 2 miles to 4 miles which was OK. Then I jumped from 4 miles to 6 miles and I'm still paying for it 3 days later!

6miles is about 9.6km - so I'm getting my fitness there. Just need to get competative.

sisters running is haraam, bouncing chests excite brothers!

I am quite sure running is mentioned in hadith as a sunnah activity, even for sisters/mothers.

Why are you anti hadith?
