What are the conditions of the separation?
Are you sleeping in a different area of the house?
Did she move out?
Did she ask you to find a place to live?

She is seeing someone who doesn't run, and wants you to be more like that guy.
She's moved in with her sister for now and plans to see how things go up until Xmas.
I know a lot of guys are saying to just leave her but it's hard and she's so great in so many ways but just doesn't seem to get running at all. For me, running has been like a drug or rather medication, it's like a high.
I think she's jealous of me loving running so much but I know she hates it when I mention fitness and body shape etc. Like a lot of women she's aware of how other women look even though she is beautiful herself.
I actually pounded in a 15 mile run today to just think things over and it felt absolutely magic!
Do the sister Take the cannoli

My wife has put us on a trial separation with one condition being that I cut back on running.
Maybe this is the excuse I need to wind my way back into non-running reality.
As for all of you calling this BS, then I know I'm not the only one whose marriage has taken a blow bc of running.
If running has seemed to cause this to happen, then running is not really the issue in your relationship.
Either you trust your spouse, or you don't.
Yep! And if she doesn't trust you, she very well may have a GPS reason.

She must be pretty dumb. Her solution to you wanting other women (in her mind) is to deprive you of her womanly company. Brilliant. You definitely have no reason to "look around" (in her mind) if she's not there. NOT!
I'd leave her, now that she's pulled this little stunt.

My buddy and I have been running now for the last 3 years and while some may consider us to be hobby joggers, we have run quite a number of races including several marathons.
Anyway, we are planning a marathon again early next Spring so we're trying to get lot of miles in so that we can get in good shape and hopefully PR. My buddy is a pretty decent 5K / 10K and struggles a but more with the 26.2 than me and he has hit the wall a couple of times including his last marathon where he finished the last 10K in something like 50 mins when he had been running 6:30's.
On a call with him the other night, we were talking about our marathon prep and discussing how we hopefully manage to both run solid times. However, I mentioned to him that it may well be hot and humid on race day and that a lot of people collapsed last year in the last few miles. We've got a similar sense of humour so what I actually said to him was 'you can definitely expect there to be a shed load of bonking going on at the end of that marathon next year'
Of course, my wife just happened to hear that last part of the phone conversation and took it mean that we are looking to hook up post marathon for a bit of female R & R. She's not a runner by any means so has not idea what 'to bonk' means.
She's always thought that my running has been about getting in shape to try and score with attractive, athletic women and now this has really convinced her of this.
What the h*ll can I do to convince her that I'm just in love with running?
She is f*cking your running 'buddy'.
NOTE: Yes, dear reader, the OP is a troll. But so am I. And if this troll was to limit his response to 'genuine' posts he would have very little material with which to work.

Very likely to the exclusion of your wife. That's your part.
I don't know what's going on with the wife but, unless you got kids, cut her loose, eat the divorce, and move on.
Have her come along.

I usually don't comment on such topics but I just have to.
Isn't 'bonk' or bonking a British slang for having sex. I understand why she was concerned.
Some years ago, there was a big sexual scandal involving senior management staff at the Bank of England in London.
These senior level managers were bonking each other in the offices and one of the tabloids ran this headline;
THE BONK OF ENGLAND.
That is how I came to know about the name.
I was just pointing out.
Oh,
I have no solution man.
Ok. This is actually perfect and if played correctly should guarantee you a PR at least if not the privilege of lapping someone. Keep the situation separated and work to make it even more antagonistic. If you build it up correctly and peak at the right time you can run your race fueled by hate, no fuel belt necessary. Its PR town all the way and you're the new mayor!
Surely she is more concerned about your buddy and you constantly engaging in fartlicking sessions, no?
As an ultra guy my wife was floored by my open invitation to try a rim to rim with my buddy.
picture of your wife? I will definitely bonk it with her.

Such a woman exists?
So you're a hobby joggers that identifies as a competitive runner.

That's generous. I give it a 3/10 at best.
You dummies! Don't you see what the OP is doing??!?!
"shed load of bonking going on"
"taken a blow because of running"
"pounded in a 15 mile run"
Don't forget "it's hard and she's so great"
