Running thread

Running is entirely different in this weather. I have no idea how others are managing in hotter places. I am currently running in the 12-1pm window and the humidity is oppressive. I could go later in the day but this is farmland and all the midges are out in swarms from 4pm onwards.

i keep saying i will do it in the morning but i never do.

We’ve been getting into Heaton Park for about 9ish whilst it’s been hot although it’s still circa 20 degrees even at that time so hasn’t made a fat lot of difference.

I do it at 6.30am, as its quite cool. However if I oversleep that's my opportunity gone. Pavements are too narrow round here to social distance properly after 7am, unless I keep running into the middle of the road to avoid people. Stepson does his at 11pm for same reason

His injury may or may not be down to running shoes but getting the right pair from an early age will stand him in good stead when he gets older.

I’m just a layman but the wet foot test is a good initial indicator whether he needs neutral or support trainers

And like you say guys in running shops will know which shoes will suit him

Everyone’s different but I find that if I use normal trainers when boxing they grip too much and as your foot pivots it meets resistance and I’m sure that gave me wear n tear problems on my Achilles. If I’m indoors on a bag or in the ring I’ll use boxing shoes but if I’m in my garage on the bag I’ll just use an old pair of trainers where the tread has worn away.

Helpful and very much appreciated.

Bollocks I may struggle a bit then - saying that my current ones are Nike (pretty bogstandard gym trainers so hopefully I get lucky).......

I nearly always wear Nike just those I found were too tight.

14.5k done today and feeling drained after that even though i kept my pace slow and not really out of breath. Hot, sweaty but glad i got through it. Gave myself 4 days off after running 5 days on the trott last week and really felt the benefit for having a few days rest.

Been having issues with my thigh for the last year and after having an MRI in March I finally got my results yesterday.... Osteitis Pubis has anybody any experience of this? I've done some research but awaiting a visit to the specialist.

Just done a 10k in 51:20, gone bloody cold out there and a bit breezy too, think I’d rather run in the heat tbh!!

Decided to put the Stella down and start running again. My commute to work is 6 miles, my aim is to run home daily by the end of July. I've started run/walking home and am feeling better for it already.
