Running thread

Also hip flexor immobility is a massive issue for lower backs. Find some videos for psoas stretches. I had to have an operation on my iliopsoas as I had a nightmare tendinitis problem with mine from running. And my lower back took a large brunt of the pain too. Hope this helps.

Been told this before actually when I’ve swam that I look like I had poor mobility in hip regions

I’m 27 and yeah had a new car recently
 
Would it be alright if David Luis joined this thread? He's only interested in this one thread. He wants to know if Bluemoon regular posters on this thread have any tips regarding the run up for a pen. Long, short? Fast, slow? Crafty, orthodox? I'm certain he would be extemely grateful to anything that might ensure a successful completion.

My hip issues came from doing a lot of breast stroke and running. Get on the psoas stretches, maybe try and find a local yoga class, it'll help you loads.
 
Any blues from the Chesterfield area fancy being my personal trainer, and help motivate me to get going again?. Need to regain a decent level of fitness.
 
I can't tell you how much I didn't want to run today, I was knackered and and had a tight calf so the sensible thing would have been to have a rest day. But no. Started off as a 'as long you're out running it's better than nothing' type run until I realised I was running a decent pace, ended up with a PB (at least as far as strava is concerned) of 46.34 for 10k. Strange how these things work.

Same on the bike sometimes. Get on feeling like shit legs aching before you start....next thing you know you're stamping away like a good 'un. Smoke em when you got em.
 
Did Worsley Parkrun today for a change, instead of my usual Heaton Park, and imagine my surprise when I looked to my right at the start line to find Ryan Giggs alongside me. Felt like tripping the cûnt up as he ran past me, lol.

Did the most grimmest half marathon today in Kent. Hills and wet wind.
Really pleased to get under the 2 hour mark.

Well done mate. I was doing the Anglesey Half this morning and it was pure torture, non stop rain and a temp of about 5 degrees which felt a lot lower.
I’ve done loads of half’s but that was grim. I feel 10km runs and a smattering of 5km Park Runs is the future. More isn’t always better, especially when your plodding along!

1.58 - tbh just pleased to scrape under two hours all things considered. Bring on the soreness when I get up tomorrow- you just know it’s gonna happen! An ice bath does prevent it - I’ve done that before after summer races, but there’s no way I was having a cold bath today. Good luck for your future races anyway pal

Much quicker course than Heaton Park, should have shoved the **** down the embankment singing his song, Ryan Giggs is.......

Wasn’t quicker on Saturday as the cross country bit was muddy, I’ve done the Worsley one about 15 times, makes a nice change every now and then although none of them match up to Heaton for me.

You missed out this week then every runner got a free half dozen eggs from the Happy Egg company.

Just can't get under 21 at Heaton park, 21.30 again this week and a PB of 21.04 is best there last year, driving me mad now..

I did my PB last week at Heaton of 25.23, determined to get under 25 over next few weeks and then try and hunt down my son who is usually around the 21.30 mark, he probably runs near you most weeks, lol.

Could potentially be down at Heaton Parkrun in April, will give you a message beforehand if I am!

Just completed my 50th parkrun on Saturday :-)
