Women searching for a father for their children should pick long-distance runners as they are more likely to have stronger sex drives and higher sperm counts, Cambridge University has found.

Long-distance runners have better genes and make best partners – Telegraph.

I guess I’d better work on my distance. That’s motivation for you :P

A pretty wet day, and the time I decided to go out running, I ended up running through clouds of flies and midges. Very off-putting, so I changed direction, and ran through the back roads, ending back at my house with 6 mins to spare on my cool down phase. I was above my target pace on my tempo phase, but below my target phase during my warm-up/cool-down phases.

I started a new job this week, and the hours have thrown my schedule out of whack somewhat. The new office has a gym so I did some treadmill running on Friday, but I can’t figure out how to track that on Endomondo without having to type it in manually.
