Fair play....I took a peek through the curtains at 7pm saw the sleet and ice and promptly put the kettle on and opened a packet of chocolate hob nobs!
Best intentions down the pan again!

I've been out every day this year.

3 miles only and back at my PC on 30 mins ish

Really enjoying it. With a few longer weekend runs I'm hoping for 100 miles this month then up it slightly.

When the scales say under 15 stone, I'm giving myself a green light for a beer.

Loose_Lips I'm just over 12 stone, and 6ft 2in.

Loose_Lips ran like a demon. It was chuffing cold, which helped!

Can't reach the heights of some on here but done 3 runs so far and am aiming for 750 miles this year.

That's where I'm at too.
If I do anything around 5 miles I'm satisfied...perhaps 3 runs a week, (weather and hob nobs permitting!).
In summer I was sometimes doing 4 or even 5 of varying distances a week.
Fair fucks to those that run every day but these days my powers of recovery and dodgy calfs aren't up to that.

I was doing the odd 8 or.9 in the good weather of lockdown. Mainly 4s and 5s though.

Fair play the runners of One Mick Jones. I dont envy the ITB - i have had a few times.

I did a few pre christmas and felt good and have been mixing it up with fast walks. Had the proverbial time off over xmas and finally got back to it this week - Sunday four miles and felt OK (slow) Tuesday 10K and felt like dogshit - reall effort and slow - after, everything hursts. Hip and knee especially - all worn off now mind.

gonna reduce mileage and not worry about pace. Try again later I think.

Does anyone use strava?

I have taken to taking my phone with me as I am old and might fall over and started using the app - it is good for looking at your routes and what not post run.

Loose_Lips

Anchor yeah Strava mate.

Harvest

On my two hour yomp through fields and woods yesterday I thought I'd have a jog for a couple of minutes. I've been thinking of starting running again ( for about the last 15 years) so thought I'd test the water. I was wearing a woolly hat, big coat, scarf, gloves, walking boots etc. Not ideal but the test run was fine. Just need some gear now, got some barely worn decent Nike running trainers, need a top, jacket, shorts now.

I mix it up a lot, weather permitting, but enjoyed last night's run. I actually find less than 10 miles feels a little short, now, but the ITB keeps me in check. Never thought I would enjoy running.

Harvest

If anyone had seen me it looked like I'd just broken out of a mental institution.

90Piesanhour

Harvest Nothing wrong with that. They just haven't caught me yet.

Loose_Lips Whats yer handle? I'm Danny Piesley.

Am now up to 7.5km. Very chuffed. But can anyone recommended post-running stretching exercises? Walking around like John Wayne!

90Piesanhour

fulmine I'll post you a link at some point. The TKD, or any martial art stretches are as good as you can get.

fulmine 'Hey guys!' Once you get over the chirpy delivery, you should find these useful:

fulmine

Brilliant thanks. Love the matter-of-fact way she says “you’re going to do this for 15 seconds...”

90Piesanhour

fulmine They work. Trust me. You'll be doing this before you know it;
