5 mins walk
90 sec run
90 walk
3 mins run
3 mins walk
90 run
90walk
3 mins run(i know,i know,but if you consider i hadn't run for maybe 30 years before i started and was a heavy smoker ) :)


covered 2.5km, but had no pain in my knee :), i've been doing my exercises the physio set me everyday ,on the app he gave me i had to score each exercise for difficulty, first time everything was a 7/8 out of 10 , yesterdays before my little run was 3/4 out of 10 which was the easy score number, so back on the road ;0

im going swimming this morning for the first time in awhile,think i've got middle age crisis :)

Well played! I'm in swimming mode today too as it's far too warm for running. Heading over to Hathersage Outdoor Pool.

Did the Hatters HM yesterday, and beat my previous best on the race by 4 mins.

If I hadn't slowed down and walked up the big hill near the end, I reckon I could have done an even quicker time.

Still not my fastest HM time, but that was done on a hill-free track ha.

What's everyones thoughts on upping mileage/kms over more shorter runs for increasing speed and endurance?

Struggling to fit in a run every day as pop in a walk and gym sessions (either weights or yoga classes) but started adding a Weds eve 12k (which I want to increase now my running mojo is slowly returning).

Can't make the track intervals atm (also on a weds) but a return to those eventually will help.

So at the moment, I do Saturday 5k Park Run, a Monday evening run (6k) and this mid week 12.

Still nursing long term hamstring issue too which will need a thorough look at soon.

do some hill sprints this will help.

Get some strapping on your legs to keep the leg ok

As it happens, the running club do a hill session the first weds of each month.
I'll jump on this weeks.

Thanks!
