Re: In love with running again

Thats it all done and feel really proud of myself and also a bit sad because the app is finished. I've got hold of a 10k app and will start next week just hope it's as good as this one!

Re: In love with running again

Well nearly done now just one more run to go and thats it. W9 has not gone to plan though! I did the first run no problem and covered 3.5 miles in the 30 mins so was really pleased but then got struck down with a stomach bug the next morming so that meant I had to rest an extra day. However ran r2 t...

Re: Shin Splints - please advise

Hi missbossie sorry to hear about your injury problems they can really get you down and demotivate. I suffer from shin splints every now and then so I know how you feel. What works for me is lots of stretching before and after running. I also suffer from Plantar Fasciitis and found that the stretch ...

The weather can be a bit of a hurdle but only if you let it! I love running in the rain! Don't wrap up to warm or you'll overheat, sweat too much an...

Re: In love with running again

Quick update completed w7 r3 this evening and feeling really pleased. W7 has gone really well and the runs got easier as the week went on. It's not all been plan sailing though all the fallen leaves on the ground are really slippery when wet and I've nearly come a cropper a few times because of them.

Re: In love with running again

Thats it week 6 finished! R3 25 mins went well although I made it harder for myself by running way to fast for the first 15 mins. Need to work on my pace or I'm at risk of running out of steam towards the end of the runs. Still covered a lot of ground running just short of 3 miles. Feel like a runne...

Re: In love with running again
