Used to be an avid runner, ran plenty of 5K’s up to marathons and then got into the ultra scene and ran everything up to and including 100 milers

Just moved in the middle of nowhere and this is nothing but farms. No pavement or dirt roads to run on either. I have a park with a half mile loop about 20 min. out and that’s it.

Its nice being out where I am but sucks not having a place to run.

    Man, I miss living in a rural area where you can safely road run in the countryside. Where did you move, OP? I bet there’s great routes that you just haven’t discovered yet.

    As someone who totally fell off the running boat when I moved to an urban location without sidewalks, make the effort to go that extra 20 mins to the half-mile loop. You’ll thank yourself. 😭

    If you can, get friendly with your local farmer. They may welcome someone running around the farm’s perimeter to spot any issues like broken fences.

      Thought about something like that - Just need to figure out how to get that convo started

        You could maybe just start running around their fence until they come out to see what is going on.
