Do you have a foam roller? if so use that to stretch the muscles, if not then I would say maybe a nice bubble bath and then just rest until sunday

 

[Lucylu79]

No I don't I'm afraid... I do have access to an indoor swimming pool though.....a couple of lengths or a big no no??

That's great. Well done!

I did a hill based 10K at the weekend, definitely my hardest run for quite a while and took longer than usual but I think worth it in the long run for my endurance training.

Aiming for a 5K run home from the station tonight

Well. I'm booked in with the Physio on Thursday night, I'm hoping they can perform a miracle. Its weird as right now its not too bad, but then soon as I walk up or down stairs it sets it all off again.

30 mins run, never thought I'd get there

Is this a recent injury or something more long term?

I've just done a killer spin class all this cardio and strengthening my legs has got to pay off in my running (she's hopes! )

It's been since I went on holiday. Not sure how or what I've done. Think I need to start some kind of cross training.

Back out running in the morning hopefully first proper one since the challenge!! I've been out three times since but did intervals as muscles were still pretty fatigued. Must not get lazy about it and try a new running routine. No more races until next March

I've carried on quite happily with my aim of 3 runs a week but sometimes two.

Trapped nerve in my lower back, causing sciatic pain. So pleased it's nothing that's going to stop me running. Did 2.5 miles on Friday and 3 miles today.

Glad to hear it isn't something more serious or long lasting and well done on the runs.

I did a 10K on Sunday, it was the first proper run in over two weeks, I was disappointed with the time but pleased to have done the distance. My OH kindly cycled alongside to keep me motivated.

It is definitely all about getting the miles in. I've got 4 weeks and 6 days until my next 10k race...
So building myself back up to that slowly but surely. I did it in 1hr 08mins last time, so just aiming to beat that really

Hi everyone. I managed to get 14 miles in from last week's WI to this week's WI - 1.5lbs off
My next official 10K is Wigan 10K on 7th September, don't think I'll be entering any more before then
