Hey Guys, just started running for a week after a 8 month break. The hardest part about running for me are ankle splinting (my ankle joint and the bone which connects to the ankle just start rubbing against each other) and it becomes extremely painful after a while. Is this a cause for concern/ should I show this to a doctor? This doesn't happen while walking fast/ for a long time, it's only when I am running. I have not put on any significant weight as well throughout my break.

Stick your sponsor thing on here mate, I might have a spare £2.35 stuck down the back of the couch

Every penny counts so 235 of them is much appreciated.

Fundraiser in memory of my Mum

On 14th December my Mum passed away following a 3 year battle with bowel cancer. Whilst many of us complained about covid and lockdowns, and others had cheese and wine parties, she was undergoing three major operations followed by intensive chemotherapy and radiotherapy. I am running the...

Just completed the Test Way Ultra today and bagged a top 6 place. Came in at 67.25Ks so about 42 miles.

Really enjoyable experience but I had a few wobbles and low points.

Always tough on the trails, esp getting over the stiles, on tired legs, running through mud and although it was mostly sunny got a bit of rain and sleet later on.

Good luck everyone tomorrow, the aches and pain will pass, the low points come and go, just keep putting one foot in front of the other.

Some people are more suited to sprints. :-).

On a serious note you would smash it with your commitment to running and times you post. No ‘cheat’ shoes on trails either :-)

Seriously impressed. I prefer the trails but never had the legs for that sort of distance. Twenty miles with about 3 thousand feet climbing was about my limit I think when at peak fitness.
