I set off at 6:45am for a repeat of my Monday Latrigg run, to celebrate my 62nd birthday. I'm shattered now. Great run though.

Happy birthday, fantastic effort and the views look superb. Just out of interest how far was it and how much elevation?
 
Been a bit of a breakthrough week this week. 10 mile run under the belt and my return to the running club with 3k easy, 12 minutes at 4:20 pace and then 2 minutes hard effort, 2 minutes rest x 5.

Spring last year ran an ultra, so still a long way to go, but Injury free and enjoying my running again.

Booked on for Delamere Half, so hopefully can drop a few pounds, add some speed and distance to my runs and give it a good go.

Thanks. It's about 300m ascent, and my route was 11km. There are shorter routes though, and no doubt longer ones too. 11km is about my limit at the moment as I'm building my distance again after a year with injuries.

11km with 300m of ascent is not to sniffed at.

The views look great so next time I am up there will try to give it a go.

Ditto about the running. Just happy to be out enjoying myself after 6 months of struggle. Love running on my own but also, realised how much I enjoy Ive missed a training session after my return last night. Football season to start again soon - let the good times roll.
 
Not been properly diagnosed, but from all accounts I've sprained/strained my I.T band,it's saying i could worsen it if i carried on with my running , I can walk no problem but can feel it when I start to run, what now? It's saying 4-8 weeks off running, fucking gutted, I'm only 2 weeks away from the finish and was very comfortable with week 7 ,will I have to start again

Oh no mate, get yourself rested and come back bigger, better and stronger. Now you know you can do it

Best to rest up to allow recovery. If you can do some low impact exercise in the meantime it will keep you ticking over. I managed to keep swimming but at a reduced speed and at reduced distances with the help of ibuprofen when I was in your position.

Went running with a local running club last night.

The weather was horrendous but why does running feel great in rain?

Do need to do something about my tight calves

We've running club near where I live. I'd love to go and join some runs but too nervous and don't feel like a runner. I follow them all over social media plus few on Strava and their times way too quick for me. Last year I did go to local park for a few 5ks with others from another group when I was working from home as it was on Wednesday mornings at 8. Never more than 4 of us each time but I enjoyed it and found it pushed me on.

I was sceptical at first, did a good 7/8 months running with them, didn't speak with everyone but enjoyed running as a group.

Spent nearly all of last year not running with them due to injuries.

Last 3/4 weeks so I have finally gone back to them. They do 5k and 10k run groups and also a group for those not confident in their running so do like a build-up class.

You should go, I am sure your local group will have runners who stick at the back to help everyone else :-)
