Great that mate, well done

6 miles before work. Longest run since my last half exactly 2 years ago. Set out for 4 maybe 5 depending how I felt. At 5 went for a lap of park to take me up to 6. Almost perfect conditions, felt great.

3.25 miles before work today. Strava recommended normal mile, 2 fast then .25 easy

 

[ob]

5 miles this morning. 1 easy, 2 faster then 2 easy. Feel like I've done nothing but eat crap and drink last 2 days so it was great to get out and stretch legs little bit

[Champions again in 2012]

I've been a bit lazy with running since completing the Rome Marathon 2 weeks ago only done a total of 6 miles running in the 2 weeks. After training for 2 marathons which were 19 weeks apart I have enjoyed the down time but it's time to start running again.

I have signed up for the Rememberance Sunday Windmill 10k on 8/11 and the Conway half the following week as both will probably sell out. I will sign up for other half marathons over the next few weeks. Looking forward to getting back to running but not having to do 45 - 50 miles per week

I'm running Manchester aswel. Been running 3 times a week since getting back into it furthest I've ran is 32km 2 weeks ago, done a few half marathons and 25KM runs with a range of 5k-15k runs inbetween each week. I'm reducing now and done 21.25km Monday in 2:04 with elevation gain of 322m. Got a sports massage Saturday then 2 short runs Wednesday and Saturday before the biggen Sunday.
I'm aiming for anything under 4:30ish but happy to just get around. Last did 1 in 2018 in 5:21

Shin still bothering me 4 weeks after first issue. Went to A&E a week ago and got an x-ray, no stress fracture or anything else appeared, so supposedly just tissue damage.

Been doing a fair bit on the bike, but only 3 short runs in last month.

Did 4k on Wednesday which was ok, but losing confidence that I will manage a marathon.

Good luck anyone doing any races this weekend. Plenty on including London Landmarks and Brighton. I've just done a Strava plan of 1.75 miles easy, 2.5 fast, walk 2 mins then 1.25 easy

Been a good week this week, 26.5 miles on Bank Holiday Monday, 8k recovery run midweek and 30 miles over the the South West Coast Path on Saturday.

A bit foolish, risking injury, and the left side of my knee was hurting but hopefully I’ve got through relatively unscathed. Strength work today, possibly a swim tomorrow and then hopefully start again.

Have a look on the Youribe channel ‘running with Ash’ I do quite a few of his strength workouts and he does cover exercises for shins, foot, ankles etc. Videos range from 10-30 mins, exercises not over complicated and they do really help.

Intervals for me this morning before work. Easy .5 mile 3x .5 fast rest then 3x .5 fast then easy.5 cool down as suggested by Strava.

 

[PragueBlue]

@PragueBlue - how's the running going. Are you making any progress?

Been making good progress (in my eyes at least). This morning I just completed my first 5km without stopping/walking.

I got round in about 34 mins but I needed a good sit down after to get my breath back. I'll give it another try on Monday, weather permitting.

I can't say I enjoyed it while I was running but I did feel good after I had finished if that makes any sense. Maybe when it gets a bit easier it will become more enjoyable during the run.
