Running thread

Enjoyed both my 5k runs this weekend at Heaton. Mad one yesterday when it was heavy snow, could barely see and lethal under foot. Then today an easier set of conditions, however the park was fucking mobbed and was having to be careful to weave in and out of groups and head on to crap at side of paths on a few occasions, I knew it’d be the case though so didn’t let it bother me.

Legs feeling good, definitely feel like I’m benefitting from doing more stretching, but as mentioned a few pages back I’m not doing them pre-run, more at random times of the day.

i've been pre-stretching but still feeling achy afterwards
 
Pinged my bastard calf again on Saturday morning, started feeling it the Saturday before having just completed my first 5k of this year having built up over the first few weeks, stretched off and set off ok but felt it ping again after a couple of minutes.

Last week was the first time ive felt the frustration at not being able to get out and run I was a right moody twat, after a number of years doing nothing it really is amazing how much of a positive mental feeling ive got from getting out for a trot. Looks like a couple of weeks rest now so im going to try my bets to stay positive and set some goals for when I can get out again
