that's fine, not saying you have to jog - it's just often the most readily available & cheapest exercise, not everyone can afford a decent bike/gym membership but most of us can put on some running shoes and hit the road.
I've got dodgy knees through martial arts so I mix it up, if people push themselves swimming is a great exercise, as is the cross trainer.

Alex - great post.
So you dont need to do roadwork? So its fine to do some other exercise like riding a bike or something? Im just wondering coz a lot of ppl are always telling me that if i want to have a go in the amateurs then i need to do roadwork but you know i cant. I dont know if i fucked my ankles doing karate or something but they just seem to hurt when i jog.
How about slow less impacting deep sand work.
And then water work too.
then skipping on a trampoline.
