What others have said but you could also do some static stretches on your non-running days.

Well done on that. I think marathons have bypassed me. I'm 59 now, and I don't think I have it in me any more. I ran four half-marathons last year, but I couldn't have done any more.*Todays Gaz76 blowing his own trumpet post*
Great day for it today, just went out for a steady long one, and kept goinView attachment 11339
I've done a 16k and a 10k this week. My last three runs and my average heart rate has been 149 for each of them. I can't seem to get much below this, without slowing to walking pace.

As others have said, try not to do too much too soon, also another thing could be your running form and stride length, shorter strides put less pressure on your hamstrings, take it slow and steady.Went for my first run in 7 months (8km) last Sunday and going again tomorrow morning. Had tight hamstrings for 4 days after last run. Any tips to stop this?

Had a week off as I have been a bit rough of late. Took advantage of the nice weather and ran 11k friday, 15k yesterday and 10k today. Nice easy pace but great to be out now the paths are drying up and the sun is shining.

Just an idea for lockdown.
Who’s up for a Bluemoon Virtual 10k ?!
Sunday 21st March we all set off.
all post your 10k times on here.
If on Strava , title it as a ‘Bluemoon virtual 10k’

Yeah, I think pretty much all of the regular posters do. It's well-supported by science and is the way to go. 70-80% of total weekly mileage in the easy effort zones.Does anybody on here train by heart rate zones?
Wondering if this is the way forwards and what are your experiences of it?

Stretch before and after your run. Make it part of your daily routine to stretch.
I used to hate stretching in my 20s, it now works wonders for me and has been key to preventing injuries. Recovery is been better and haven't ached as much.
