10k in rather mad weather down here. Snow was coming off the river sideways. Half my face absolutely pelted to death.

new to this thread - signed up for Chester half marathon ( september ) as hitting a big birthday then ....Did the gt nth run a few years back..... but just started back and third run out calf muscle has popped.

Any advice on how long to leave it and exercises to strengthen before venturing back out there ?

Foam roller. Give it a few weeks then start on one of these, usually work a treat.

Had a patchy couple of weeks as it was my Birthday and lost motivation due to work commitments. New week now so I'm going to attach my regime again and hit the mileage I was hitting back in January.

49.59 is breaking 50 mins. 48.54 is smashing the 50 mins barrier. Well done.

Cheers! I try not to look at my watch especially first part of a run, but it felt so slow and sluggish and yet out clearly wasn't. The 50 minute barrier has been a real curse, so many times finished on 50.05 or around that, target is to get it down to 46/47 now

F***ing freezing at 6.30 this morning. 5k at a steady 8:51 pace & avg HR of 137.

Did my hill sprints Sunday morning. Only managed to do about 5 sprints and I say it was about 150 yards.

Woke up in pain in all my legs, feet and stomach.

Still aching now.

Good for age time is the way to go. If normal life returns you can have a few goes at it over the years and the target time increases as you get older. I managed to qualify at Manc marathon in 2013.

I'm in pain from a flat 5k last night.

don't know how you guys do morning runs, pre 8am. different breed.

I run every day.
Still feel desperate, depressed and fucked off most days.
The Goverment doesn't realise the mental health impact of this pandemic there too busy being killjoys and locking us up indefinitely.
