Parkrun done. Officially in the sub 20 club by about 10 seconds! Well happy with that!

Given that there is a significant hill in the course (costs most runners 30 seconds) it's got me dreaming of much faster! I'm going to enjoy this achievement though.

Well done mate, that sounds like you're getting plenty of zone one cardio in which is so underrated. You'll be fitter than most men just doing your daily steps, good leg exercise in itself walking through a boggy site.

Nice one mucker. I'm glad it's doing me good instead of bad. Did the park run this morning and felt great. Came 19th out of 203(24th last week) and beat a few who beat me last week. So it must of done some good. Also knocked 26 seconds off last week's time. Them sprints I do once a week seem to be helping a lot.

Not quite sure on them there numbers mate.
But yep agree on your point, slowly and gradually is the key

Lol maths was never my strong point….

If he’s doing a park run + 2x 6ks per week that’s 17k.

5k (the difference between his regular 6k that he upped to 11k) is 29.4% of 17.

So going from 17 to 23 is a ~30% increase, right? Or am I wrong haha.

But yes - my point is that it’s best to take distance increases slowly - especially if you’re nursing an injury.

Nope yer right, I only seen your last post about going from 6 to 11

If running isn’t making the issue worse I don’t see why you shouldn’t keep it up/increase it slowly.

My main advice would be to take it slow. If you increase the distances dramatically you’re way more likely to get injured.

Turning that 6k into 11k increased your distance by 30% which wouldn’t be sustainable.

I have done a fair few 11ks over this year btw, just not kept those up.
This has definitely made the hamstring a little sore (felt it a little at this mornings Park Run).

I suspect a anything longer (15k to half marathon would really push it).

Could be a baker's cyst that mate.

I've torn my meniscus and IT band catching over the knee joint. Seeing the surgeon next week to book the double op. Can't wait to get it done now, rehab will be a big step but looking forward to building up mileage again and getting a bit of competition back in my life next year.

The physio had a good look and feel but the only time the pain at the back of the knee is when I bend the leg (like squatting, kneeling and sitting back and it's pretty painful.

Nothing visual to go on, so a tear does sound possible but all seems linked to that initial hamstring injury.

Hopefully the scan will give more details.
