1. Never

2. Lol “statistics project”.

   Anyway I’ll humour the question. I sprinted last Saturday at park run, I like to sprint the last 50m or so!

3. Today when I was out running.

4. We do 2 week sprints in work, our latest one finished today so we’ll start another on Monday.

5. Everyday for the last 4 years, I finish every run with shuttles

6. Last Saturday at the gym.

7. This a terrible sample group, for the record, but I guess about 15 years ago unless you count rushing out of the house because I’m late for work.

8. About a week ago when my 3 year old forgot how to brake on his scooter. Didn’t realise I could run that fast 😂😂

9. Few weeks ago, walking my dog up our road and my wife drove past and shouted at us from the car. Doggo went ballistic trying to catch up so I indulged him.

10. About 2 years ago when mother in law’s dog broke into a sheep field and I had to catch the little git before he got seen and shot by the farmer.

11. Lunch time. 5 k run, finished where park run is held, and sprinted the 80metres or so to where the finishing funnel would be.

12. Probably 13 or so years ago when my kids were at their most active ages (10 & 8).

13. this is a very, very bad way to do a statistics project; what school year are you in?

    (definitely Sunday when running, but possibly also more recently as I often have to sprint for a bus).

14. Earlier this week when trying to get my connecting flight in Amsterdam.

15. Park Run last Saturday

16. About 3 years ago

17. 4 months ago. Sports day dad’s race, did my hamstring and limped over the line in last place! Never again

18. July 1998.

19. 2 days ago ,when I stumbled across a wasp nest wearing full hivis

20. This afternoon when the heavy shower started. I was out in shorts and t shirt. Got soaked

21. I work in a complex needs care home, and emergency buzzers are used regularly, often for the wrong reasons, but we have to run to them every time. I sprint pretty short distances around 10 times a day

22. Yesterday whilst playing football

23. March 1997.

24. Decades

25. Earlier walking puppy (trying to wear him out but he is also shit off lead so ran him on lead)

26. Daily, chasing a toddler.

27. All-out sprint would be at a football match a month ago. 70-80% at the end of my 5k twice last week.

28. Chasing a bag stolen off a train a few months ago.

29. A few days ago the cat was knocking something fragile off the counter and I ran to stop it falling.

30. On Wednesday. For a train. With a suitcase. Made it to the platform and watched it leave.

    Probably happens about once a month.

31. Today. Interval training this morning, then weights this afternoon.

32. Think it was last summer during a sports day-esque 100m race, don’t think I’ve exceeded a light jog since

33. I honestly can’t remember lol, I don’t wear the right bras for me to run

34. Had a drunk race with my mates, roughly 50m sprint, I won but my hamstrings were sore for a week
