This argument about running has run for a long time
I do agree that running 2 miles would be absolutely Knackering mate but if he was willing to jog/walk/jog I think it would be possible and not to much slower that a steady jog
I base this on the fact that I don't run in any way
But if I run on my feet any distance I am bushed
If I run on the stilts any distance I am bushed exactly the same but I have gone further faster
Now taking this to it's logical conclusion
If I took up jogging I would probably be able to run as far as the average fat man
But that equaly means if I took up jogging on stilts I would eventually build enough muscle to run the same distance at the same speed
Before anyone says nay to this remember the average jogger can't run a marathon (or at best put in a good time)
So all it would take is the dedication to keep at it and build the right muscles
As far as the 10k walk for life I didn't find that to hard and most of the fitter amongst us were doing tricks all the way round
But at the time I was spending 1hr a day and 3/4 at the weekend so I will probably find it harder this year
To ad to my argument I used to walk round the outside of a farm with the wife on a horse
It is exactly a mile and we used to do it twice in about 25 mins this was on very cut up rough ground and deep mud so I recon I could do a couple of miles in about 20 mins on the road probably faster if I was in any way fit
So if those times and getting super fit into the bargain suit you RacingBear I would still say go for it

Ps lets time the first 2 miles of WfL this year
