Made Park Run this morning (many were indeed cancelled around South Manchester).
Amazing vibe this morning. That blanket of Snow (still falling) brings out the inner child in people (I did some purposeful skidding and sliding).
Have a Q over a possible injury. I've a tight (and slightly painful when I squat) hamstring just behind and above my right knee.
Anyone know what this is? I've had this a few weeks now and feel it in Yoga too (also slight achilles pain which I've mentioned before).

Kind of a bump:
Had that tight hamstring (lower thigh, behind the knee) for a few weeks but not a much of a bother (noticeable when stretching in Yoga) but last night it stung hard during a running session.
Poss hamstring tendonisis. Walked back and this morning I"m in the limping zone.
Anyone had this? I guess I can only ease off it and take ibuprofen etc.
Was planning on some long runs over Xmas too :(

I had that last year. Around early Aug and I took time off for about two weeks then eased back in at a gentle pace. Speed work seemed to set it off so I avoided that for quite a while afterwards. Still managed a HM in mid-Sept with no real problems.Kind of a bump:

Yeah, I may have to drop off for a bit (annoyingly....was just getting my running mojo back and love running in the winter).I had that last year.

As the moment I'm in limping mode :(
Thanks mate.

I've entered the Manchester marathon again, my 3rd one.
Going to run for Cancer Research again, aiming for around 3.45 this time.

Was limping and could barely walk yesterday.I had that last year. Around early Aug and I took time off for about two weeks then eased back in at a gentle pace. Speed work seemed to set it off so I avoided that for quite a while afterwards. Still managed a HM in mid-Sept with no real problems.
Bit of a limp this morning (I went to the office in Manchester) but it seems to have settled a bit.
Will lay off running until at least Saturday (if it feels ok) for the morning Park Run.
Will also try Yoga tomorrow night (and part of me thinks over stretching in that could have contributed.
Does anyone think those vibrating guns would be of any help for stuff like this?
Have a mate who swears by them (I've a feeling he uses them for more nefarious moments...) but think yoga/pilates would carry out similar tricks?

No. The streets are covered in ice and would be lethal in the dark. I think i said a few days ago "bring on the cold weather"!! Be careful what you wish for eh?Is anyone out running on the roads in this icy weather? I'm 14 days without a run now as I'm resting a strain at the back of my knee. I'm missing running, but not sure I'd be out in this anyway.
Suddenly 5 days have passed without running !
But I have a day off on Friday so could venture onto a trail in the daytime for a jog / walk. Hopefully it will be more like snow than ice underfoot on the route I have in mind.

Went out on the Bridgewater Canal towpath from Deansgate to Pomona & back at 11.00 this morning once it was less cold. Some patches of ice around, but I walked in those areas.
Not ran since last Friday and hate it. Had walk yesterday and today at lunchtime both times really icy. Saw 5 individual runners yesterday inside 20 minutes. It was -2 and I was struggling to stay on feet at times. Hoping to get out this FridayIs anyone out running on the roads in this icy weather?

I really struggled today because I hadn't run for a week, and I struggled with the cold air on my lungs. However, I'm glad I went out as if I'd left it any longer, I'd start to lose my running fitness.Not ran since last Friday and hate it. Had walk yesterday and today at lunchtime both times really icy.

As others have said, definitely not. Ice is pretty much the only weather condition (expect maybe extreme hailstones) when it's unwise to go out running. There's a high chance of injury and other dangers so it's just not worth it.Is anyone out running on the roads in this icy weather?

I managed to get out for a hour in the sunshine on the snow covered trails.
Apart from a few icy stretches, which involved more of a shuffle / walk, it was mostly snow underfoot and quite safe to run on. It was hard work though, average pace down to 11.30 min per mile which is my slowest ever! Typically its 9.30 min per mile on the trail and closer to 8.00 on the road.
Overall most enjoyable and refreshing though!

Bizarrely I've always felt it feels more precarious walking on ice rather than running (maybe trainers are a variable here).
Snow and frost I've done, however was out walking my daughter's dog earlier and the ice is sharp and hard on some paths which would be treacherous I reckon.
Had notification that many South Manchester Park Runs are off tomorrow, but I've still got that hamstring injury anyway.
