Same. But I had to leave cos they were too much of a distraction to my workouts. Now I go to a private small gym where its mostly guys and zero distractions. I can focus on my training better now.

It will still help you to loss weight. and look for other option that you can easily do.
can highly recommend running - I'm far fitter now at 40 than I was at 18 ...
5'4 - started 6 years ago at 14 stone, now 10.5, started with a resting HR of 80 now less than 40
its a great sport - one of the most sociable I've taken part in, I've made some great friends, had some great experiences and had a massive effect on my fitness
other positives - about cheapest sport you can do
other positives - can do it anywhere - I take my trainers with me - have run in Australia, Spain etc etc etc

Sounds awesome!
Agreed. Outside in the fresh air, runnign in nature, exploring new parks, roads, rivers etc. No training required. no membership, no fancy equipment, safe, fun, free. Great way to relive stress. Running is transformative.

I wasn't going to write similar ChrisD but runners seem to be extremely militant in their views 
Nonsense
What exactly are you going to research about distances? 1km is 0.621371 miles, wow.

And people who don't run are often incredibly ignorant of the activity.
Knees are the worst. At least from some that has told me after many many years.
Yes, because that is BS unless you have some pre-existing risk of osteoarthritis. Running strengthen bones and joints, that is part of the adaptions that occur during training.
Compare that to something like skiing or martial arts that have a very high risk of joint damage.

Yet the multiple studies done by universities etc disagree.
Fact is, what I said is true. You can do more damage than good.
Of course running can cause harm, to deny that declares ones ignorance of basic kinesiology.
That doesn't mean running should be avoided, but it does mean that feet/knees/hips/core need to hit some minimum standards before you start.
There does seem to be a lot of conformation bias with running; "nobody in my running club has problems with running" ... well, yeah...

GYm is not all that healthy, i got knee pain and tennis elbow which i cannot shake off. Women in my gym look like piece of lard so that that, all complements in reference to the strength gains coming form my male companions

That's not the gyms fault, that's a lack of knowledge on your part causing poor form or training through poor mobility rather than fixing it allowing injuries to happen.GYm is not all that healthy, i got knee pain and tennis elbow which i cannot shake off.
