Running/Jogging/Speed Walking

Travis_Bickle

Saw a physio a couple of weeks ago. Gave me some calf and glue exercises and advice about my running posture. Working so far. Have gone back to some shorter runs (2-3 miles) but faster pace (for me anyway). Managed an 8.10 mile on one which is bloody quick for my 50-year old legs.

I did a run. First one in 9 weeks!

Physio's advice still working. Had a massage and some work done on my lower back last week. Making a real difference. Fell like my overall posture is improving. Have some exercises using those stretchy bands that are great. Main thing is I'm sticking to them.

Travis_Bickle I'm doing exercises with those stretchy bands too on the advice of a physio. Got bursitis in my hips and haven't ran for months now as they were paggered after every run. She reckons I'll be running again by new year. Not sure if I can be arsed as don't want to aggravate it and be back with the pain again. On a positive note my 8 year old has been running 5k park runs with his mum and she's struggling to keep up with him. Beating his PB regularly now (just over 30 mins). Its great that he has found something he's good at as football is not his strong point.

I stick with nothing. Nipper hasn’t made a move so it’s doubtful we’ll be doing another 5k before the end of the year.

Getting into a routine of running before work now.....I know, f***ing tights!

Just run 7 miles, first run since the hellish Humber Bridge half marathon in June. Went a lot better than i expected.

Did two 5k park runs back to back this morning. Like a nutter. Feel okay, though.

Just done a painful 8 miles, need to get my arse moving. Kids booked me on The London Monuments Half Marathon for Christmas ( a pair of socks or a jumper would have been ok ! ). Its at the end of March so need to up it now.

Under-the-ground

I have been on the running machine in the garage trying to get started. Just started walking, then built up to running for 10minutes. Now I have bust it!

so no choice but to do a proper run . It’s about 2k maybe 3? Did the second one last night. I just run in some Sambas. How do you stop your shins hurting & when does it get easier!

aiming to complete a 5k park run in under half an hour. Then just do them as and when. Any other tips?

Under-the-ground You need something more cushioned or your aging back will throw a cog. And do plenty of calf and hamstring stretches.

Harvest

Sambas for running? Could explain why your shins hurt.

Under-the-ground

space any recommendations for a decent pair of running daps for less than 50squid? Was going to go for some silver shadows but they don’t make the proper pairs anymore

heyho

I am respectful of those that can run. Never been able to do any distance myself. Never could even pre beer.

I'm 6ft 5" and around 19 stone. Played rugby at that weight so was effective in bursts and also quite fast. Would have loved to play the modern game of rugby league where they come on and off in small chunks

But good on you all. Keep it up - just dont wear tight lycra.

Under-the-ground I'm a right tight arse. I go on sportshoes direct or similar and seartch for owt under £50. I was using asics until my back went again about 3 months ago. I'm hoping that the two things aren't linked as I've just bought a new pair and I'm going back to running again in a few weeks.

Under-the-ground I swear by Hoka One One - have just bought some speed goat 4's in the sale for 75 but have bought for around 50 notes on the bay.

Still getting out before work. It's a good way to start the day, nice and quiet.

Raposa

Travis_Bickle
Think I'll do that but when the mornings are lighter,hate running in the dark.
Went out for a 3.5 miler last night when I got home,nothing too strenuous but fuck me what with the dense fog and the lack of street lighting on the back roads near the airport,it was horrific.

Under-the-ground

Raposa I went out with a head torch & looked a right prick. There was a little kid at a doorway as his mum was bringing in the shopping & he just goes “wow”. It was the head torch
