First Parkrun of the year at Stafford Isabel Trail completed in a very steady 31:14. I need to shift the extra 4 pounds I put on over Christmas to start improving again!

Weighed myself the other day and noticed I’d put 4 pounds on. Put two runs in this week and getting back to it solid from now on. First two after Christmas were killers.

Struggling a bit with my running fitness at the moment, and have been since 2 Parkruns in a row got cancelled back in December when it was icy.
I'm knackered after about 3km and have to start taking walking breaks, and once I start walking, I struggle to get back running any distance again.
I think I just need a bit of self discipline to tell myself I can't stop under any circumstances, and maybe a running buddy for my training runs.
I had the same issue with my swimming fitness post Xmas, but that has quickly returned back to previous levels.

It’s hard getting back to it after 3 weeks not doing it, I wasn’t disciplined enough to keep going out over Christmas. 3km is a barrier for me too, I’m hoping to get back to solid 5pms next week.

19km run this morning, all about trying to shift the Christmas weight at the minute, so not too disappointed at the pace.
I haven't (and you're right re advice - was perhaps looking for affirmation that by running I'm doing the saintly thing!)
Always wary of getting into a physio loop due to costs (especially at the moment) but I probably should.
I took it v easy but still quite sore but I've desperately missed running so you tend to do daft things (like returning too early).
I'll see how it feels over the weekend but it's probably time to see a physio.
Just caught up on all the Christmas and New Year fitness activities on here. Well done everyone on your achievements.
I managed 1200km last year, curtailed by injury and virtually no running in December. PBs at 10km, running from Trafford Centre to Manchester for City's victory parade, and at Parkrun, finishing in 24:04 at Stretford to knock 30 seconds off my previous PB.
I have recently been out twice on short 4km runs, but can feel the injury has not fully healed. It's tendonitis at the outside back of my right knee. I desperately need another form of exercise to replace running. Might even join up at the gym again for a few months. I really miss going out for a run though.
For 2023, I would like to get running again, without this tendonitis. My aim is to run around Derwentwater on my 62nd birthday in July, during our annual holiday in Keswick. If I manage it, it will be the fourth consecutive completion of this run.

Outside back kneed tendonitis - pretty sure that's exactly the same spot I have it.
Noticed it in yoga before running (tight soreness on certain deep lunges but didn't feel it running).
Then it got really painful on a running club evening to the point I had to limp back home.
Around 4 weeks off now and did my first run this morning (as mentioned above) but perhaps returned to early.
Very likely need to see physio now.
Def join a gym if you can.
A good rowing session can sort the cardio out (and it''s a great whole body workout too).
Horrible having your favourite toy taken away...
