Running thread

FOC here, just started the Couch to 5k this week, done three runs, finding it tough, back of my left heel aches, left hip too. Is it just because I’m just starting out? Does it get easier? My time this morning was slower than the first two.

Sounds about right.

I'm not even a FOC, but still whenever I do a new physical activity the body isn't used to it hurts like hell after.

Take it slow and focus as much on recovery as the run itself.

You shouldn’t be focusing on beating times at all, just get your fitness going and it will come naturally

You will have bad days but also good. Would really recommend walking/jogging a Parkrun every Saturday
 
I'm in the slightly odd position of being at peak marathon training without actually knowing which marathon I'll be running, and when. I've just been ramping up the miles as in a normal training routine.

I have got a virtual London Marathon (which I'd more or less forgotten about) place so I guess it would be logical to run that.

Over the last five weeks I've run three 20-milers and one 22-miler so I'm probably in a decent place to run a marathon so I just feel like I might as well.

Absolutely gutted, supposed to have Hampton court palace HM tomorrow. Home from work sick yesterday, can't stop sneezing and coughing, aching all over (covid test negative). No energy what so ever. Currently watching TV on couch below a blanket. Gutted
