Got 4.5 miles in before my nightshift
Yep-don’t run!Back running 2 weeks ago after breaking my ankle, but suffering really badly from Shin splints at the moment. Never had it before. Tried shin scraping that was suggested online, but in a bit of pain today. Anyone know any good tips for recovering from shin splints

6x 1km this evening with 2:30 rest periods of slow jogging:
3:32, 3:31, 3:34, 3:28, 3:27, 3:24
Seemed to get stronger as the session went on. Lovely run
Going to decrease the rest period as I get out running more often. Weekly mileage still way down on where I was this time last year unfortunately.That is a decent session.... i'm hitting similar times for km reps (generally 3:23-3:30)..... although our sessions are slightly different, having 90secs static rest, and usually only 5 reps.

How do you find the static rest period versus a slow jog?
I think its personal preference. A lot of high quality athletes and coaches maintain that the rest should be a jog.
I prefer static rest, although admittedly i usually pace around to stay "loose".
Its amazing the difference between say 1 minute and 2 minute rest periods.... if you're fit a 2 minute rest period pretty much allows full recovery and you can bang the reps out hard. With one minute its much more of a test on endurance and being able to pace those early reps properly. On a 400mtr track session i'd knock out the reps in well under 80secs with two minute rests. But with one minute i'd be much more cautious and probably start off around 84secs.
What’s everyone have to track their runs?
I have a garmin 645 music and it’s been dog shit ever since I bought it. Don’t even use the music function on it anymore because it’s terrible, and every 3 or 4 runs it fucks one up with a big hockey stick flying off the route where I clearly didn’t run anywhere near.
Absolute shite and I paid loads for it in 2020.

Hate to give you the boring textbook answer mate but get yourself to an independent running shop and ask them that exact question. They will assess your feet, your gait, and tell you what’s best for you.I'm shit at running but getting into it for a sponsorship thing ( Sponsorship for Samaritans (Money Please) )
Whenever I try road running my knees and lower back hurt, can anybody recommend what trainers and any particular supports that might help with the impact? -

Aside from that, I also used to get a huge amount of back pain because it turns out I have really really inflexible hip flexors and hip mobility probably through years of never having to stretch etc.
Genuinely recommend some real beginners yoga AND doing a proper 5 minute stretch before your runs. Try the peloton app free trial for both beginner yoga and amazing pre and post run stretches
Also, it’s fucking miserable first two or three weeks. Feels like no improvement and you hate every second of it and you feel shit at it. Then all of a sudden you see the improvement and you get the bug. Simple as that.Thanks, I went to one years ago that I won't name but I reckon I will book in and go again.
Obviously trying to lose weight at the same time so that has an impact.

Do the stretches/yoga!!! Trust me
First ever road run. 5 miles in bang on an hour.
Issues pacing myself was I was leathering it, walking, then going fast again.
May need a knee support
You’re better off taking your time and building your stamina up, otherwise you’re risking an injury.First ever road run. 5 miles in bang on an hour.

Me too you came in a couple of minutes ahead of me. Enjoyed it.Completed the Coombe 10k tonight. Really enjoyed the route
Doing Bedworth park run next week , anyone else done it ?
Anyone ever suffered from Achilles injury from running. ? I've been building up to a 10k over the last 3 months by running three times a week. I'd built up to 4 miles but then decided to just see far I could go about 3 weeks ago one Sunday. Did 7 miles and was absolutely chuffed with it but ever since my Achilles has been really sore. I managed about 1 mile a week ago and had to stop. It's now hurting just walking on it.
Is it a case of stopping completely. A mate of mine reckons these take a long time to heal.
