I'm just back from a late afternoon 15k. Probs not the fastest you will have ever seen, but it should be up there in our Strava group.

Just had a look at some of your recent long runs. Very impressive!

Thanks. I hope you're looking at the right person! (Mark, in Lymm, most runs 5km, 10km, 15km). It helps that I live in a really nice area, with plenty of good places to run.

I'm looking forward to some early morning runs in the Spring. Also hopefully a half marathon after I turn 60 in July. I think Parkruns should be starting soon too. Plenty to look forward to this year.

Oops! Sorry Mark, I was looking at one of Northern Ireland gang. 4:28 over 35km and lots of hills!!!

Keep it up mate and smash that half marathon this summer.

First time in a long time i did some hill sprints today and i feel horrible after it. 4 x 200m steep hill in the middle of a 5k trott and feel worse than when i do a steady 10k. Im hoping that means it had the desired effects.

Anyone get hip/lower back pain running? I've had it for a few weeks now, took 6 days off and tried again today and its still bothering me.

Yes. See page 378 and a post from gaz76 giving advise about ice and heat treatment.

I suddenly got a hip injury like bursitis / sciatica / trapped nerve in early December 2020. I cut down on miles and finally had about 3 weeks off in January. The injury improved but did not disappear.

Then I started some hip exercises and stretches together with ice and heat treatment for a couple of weeks. I then slowly built up the miles again. The "injury" improved more and has nearly gone now.

Bluemoon run club is very impressive. You guys put some serious miles in.
