Really gone off the rails December, no running and getting smashed loads.

New year now, new start and serious focus for Brighton Marathon in April

Yep same here. Ballooned over Christmas and now carrying an extra 5 pounds of timber.

Really focused this year but the body seems a bit fragile, so hoping injuries don’t hinder my progress.

Happy new year everyone. Wishing you all a great year of running. No doubt many will have goals for the year, so good luck to anyone aiming for PBs, to complete a certain distance of run or just wanting to enjoy running injury free.

For any lurkers on the thread thinking of giving running a go, just do it, it’s something you will never regret.

Loads of advice on here, and any questions post them
As someone, at one point in time, will have no doubt wondered the same thing.

Good luck and keep putting one foot in front of the other.

Wishing everyone a healthy, injury-free year full of personal bests with their loved ones. Let's hit the training!

Was hoping to smash the miles in January given that the gym will be swamped with new comers. I pulled my calf the other day so that's a great start!

I ve just cut my evening training short, went home, and put some ice on my right knee (first time right knee. dont think it will be a problem, but i never risk knee pains). What a great start to the new year:)) But honestly, I've been dealing with injuries for a month now. After 1-2 good performances on races, the injuries started in December—must be bad luck. First, it was my lower back, then my mid-back (they are still there). Then I injured my shoulder while swimming. I haven’t been able to swim for 2 weeks; I’ve been focusing on recovering my shoulder, and tomorrow I’ll try to swim for the first time since. hope my shoulder is better.

I’m 45, and I pay attention to everything since i really train hard. I count my protein intake—over 120 grams a day. I also take supplements (MSM, etc.), but I guess it’s not enough. I don’t eat red or white meat (that is a big issue); I rely on fish, eggs, and dairy. But I think I might be lacking collagen or something else for my joints. Tomorrow, for the first time in my life, I’ll visit a supplement store. :))))

I have been taking hux tablets (a water supplement) and noticed a big improvement to recovery. The tablets restore salts and reduce inflammation. They aren't cheap but they work, I have off set the cost but reducing my booze in take.

I'm up to running four times a week, aiming for 200k in January. I'm doing the Malta marathon in February. My training is a little behind schedule, need to get rid of a cold and about a stone in weight. Dry January starts today..
