Anyone else think that Daz’s Nephews we’re going to be like 7 and 8?Christmas run with my nephews
Right so looking for advice on this.
Recently had to have a prolonged break from running with IT band issues. Built up to doing a fair few 20km+ runs for a little while when I got it.
Stopped distance running for a bit (about 4 months) and swapped it for hill sprints and did some physio strengthening exercises and went out and did my first 5km in ages the other day.
When building up to distances in excess of 20km, should I have been running them at a slower pace for a while to begin with? I have really bad issues in pacing myself and often find myself trying to beat previous times and paces constantly, is this the likely reason I got injured?
Is there a program I could follow to build back up to this? For reference I'm nearly 35, pretty athletic (do lots of other exercise), but I've had a hard paper round
ITB's are beggars aren't they (to say, spell in full, and just generally!)
had both of mine play me in recent years! Worst was when my right one went on the 10th mile marker of the Kenilworth half 2 years ago
Still get a bit of jip from it now and am seeing a physio once a month! But until recently (maybe after 10 or so weeks of the first lockdown) my problem was listening to my body and wouldn't stop and always overdo it?
Less so now and I'm thinking I need to start listening to my body again but it's now telling me to get back out there!!
Hey Daz-that’s the Old Shepherd socks and shorts you have on.Christmas run with my nephews
Bloody good team that lotHey Daz-that’s the Old Shepherd socks and shorts you have on.
Yeah-the keeper weren’t too bad!Bloody good team that lot
I recommend compression socks you can also get insoles which should helpStarted off 2020 by starting couch to 5k and was enjoying it, but then a load of personal shit derailed it, and never got back to it.
I want to start again, but since September I've been struggling with plantar fasciitis (came on without any warning towards the end of the cricket season) so i'm nervous about it. I did a couple of 1k runs to pick the boy up for school last month, and whilst running I didn't feel it, but then later that night it came on with really bad pain again. Anyone got any suggestions about how to manage it? I've put on a load of weight (which won't be helping the injury), but want to get back out running
Not ran for a few days (although I have been on the Peloton instead) and drank more ale than usual the last few nights, but hoping to finish the year with a half this afternoon - even if it’s slow going!
Planning to run to my Grans near Holy Family school (Beake Avenue, Holbrooks), likely starting around Nuneaton, so running around/through Bedworth, Exhall, Longford, Ash Green. I know a few people here run around those areas, any recommendations for routes/sections to incorporate into my route? I like running on the tow path but I think it’ll be an absolute mud path today!
An alternative to running through town from Nuneaton is to head through Stockingford, turn left at Arbury Hall onto Astley Lane, and down those lanes to top end of Bedworth.
No path for a lot of it, but it's usually reasonably quiet, you just have to be aware...
Thanks Travs. So you’d run past the Astley Book Farm?
Looks an interesting and new route, I’m just slightly nervous of the roads around there as are quite windy from memory and cars do go at a bit of a pace!
I would run 500 more...500 miles in 2020
Aiming to do 500 miles in 2020. What do people think the best way to break it down would be?
How do you get the calorie counter on there? Smart watch?Trying to stay awake!View attachment 18067
I do have a garmin forerunner smart watch which calculates that number, but I think even if you don’t, on Strava you get an estimated calorie burn anyway if you’ve put your height and weight on your profile. Do you use Strava?How do you get the calorie counter on there? Smart watch?
Just done my daily 1.5 miles and I think my old new balance are coming to the end of their useable life. Looking for some new trainers to run in, that if possible could double up as gym trainers. I’ve heard ASICS are good. What are you all running in at the moment.

Brooks - managed to get some ones that were like 120 quid for 70 a few years ago because they are in awful colours haha.
Bit on the heavy side but the cushioning is decent and I run mainly on the roads
