Run Every Day January 2019 MIND

Happy New Year.
I’ve been for a run

And we're off!!

Happy New Year!

Registered - hopefully t shirt on the way!

@auntiestella if the new Brooks bras are what used to be Moving Comfort (they look identical) they should be fab. My MC one is great and I’m hanging onto it in the hope that one day my boobs will go back to their pre-baby size (I know. But I live in hope.)

I'm doing it. I've got the t shirt and laces and a led vest thing as I will be running in the dark.
I walked/ran the royal parks half in October and trained for that so am going to do similar for this. I plan to run Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday and walk lunchtimes on Mon, Weds and Friday. Sunday will be gym day.

I am actually looking forward to this as a health kick and getting back to how I felt when training for the half.

Oh and I am seriously slow when running so will be looking for sustained over time rather than distance.

The key idea is that you undertake some form of activity every day, but it can be short/easy

(I plan to actually run every day, but I run 4 or more days a weeks anyhow, so adding a very short/easy 'rest day' run won't be that much of a step . That might not be a good idea for everyone)

I have signed up for this, however I'm confused.
I'm sure i read you have to run/walk every day? I walk between 30-40 miles a week, however it's not every day I do this? Can i put that i will walk 50 miles in January?
Thanks

I've a shockabsorber too - the active sports one. I can't get into the running one - I've no idea how you do the top bit up. Just bought a new one for £15 on amazon.

I've had unsuccessful trips today to a localish running shop and go outdoors. Rubbish choice in clothing. I'd like a lightweight long sleeve running top that I can wear on its own and I keep playing with the idea of the innov8 stormshell, but then deciding I might as well just get wet instead.

I always wore shock absorber, but bought a sports bra from Victoria’s Secret. I thought it wouldn’t be as good, but ok as a back up / short runs. It’s more comfortable than the shock absorber! Can’t believe it, I swore by those bras

Some big discounts on trainers at Runners Need at the moment (and a cut-price buff just fell into my basket too)

They don't seem to stock ShockAbsorbers any more - all Brookes and I don't know anyone at all who wears their bras.

See me = some

I ordered (no exaggeration) about 30 bras from boobydoo to try. Ennell, panache, random weird makes... See me in different sizes.
Still came back to my Shock Absorber Run bra

But it's worth doing to try some new styles in the comfort of your own home.

Has anyone seen any running bargains in the sales? I need a second odlo baselayer & new shoes.

Another panache fan!

I really hope those millions are a typo for miles!

Oh my goodness yes it is!

Another vote for the underwired Panache sports bra from me.

Hi PaulHollywoodsSexGut

Bras: I have Shock Absorber (various styles) good for all size of nork. Another good make for the large is Panache. I've also seen Enell recommended.

Trainers: I need a neutral sole and like lots of cushioning. I've been running in Hoka recently. The ones I've just got are Nike ZoomFly (which encourage a forefoot strike, which is meant to impel you forwards). Review: runrepeat.com/nike-zoom-fly

I've run pretty much every day since early April (I think there have been 5 or 6 days I've not run, so I can't claim to have fully RED for 9 months, but pretty much).

So I will be running every day in January. My challenge is at least 50km per week, every week.

I’m in! Probably won’t run every day as I’m still being a bit careful after delivering 10lb9oz whopper in 2017 (prolapse and nerve damage and all kinds of pelvic floor fun - things are way better but I don’t want to take the piss and end up with my organs falling out) but will aim to consciously get active daily and get out running at least twice a week.

@paulhollywoodssexgut you want an underwired panache sports bra: kept my breastfeeding udders in check (though now they’re more proportionate again and I’m going further I use a shock absorber as the heftier panache gives me armpit chafe after about 4 miles)

Don't want to tempt fate @PaulHollywood, but not had a cough, cold, illness all winter dispite DH recently having a v heavy cold and sneezing all over me. I was wondering if it was a side effect of the exercise. It's definitely made me feel healthier physically and mentally.

BrassicaBabe I know how you feel I’ve got a 29min ParkRun back in May then had most of July & Aug off running due to old injury flare up and I’ve slowly had to build back up my running but my fastest ParkRun has still only got to 30.50secs in Early Dec so I’m slowly closing the gap again to the elusive sub-30min but I’ve realised I’m built for distance not speed

I’ve signed up to with the intention of being active every day, I’m already doing stuff 5d a week easily so it will help me be more mindful about it as starting a new job my stress levels are going to rise in January I think. I like the idea of aiming for every ParkRun in Jan as I already try to do min 2 a month. I’ve downloaded a colour in tracker to go on the fridge to write in what that days activity is. Just clocked over 100km running this month so I’d like to stay around that total.

PaulHollywoodsSexGut best thing for big boobs has been a shocker absorber Run bra with a braBand over the top. It’s been only combo to stop ligament pain but I’ve still suffered a bit on long runs (1.5hrs+) as I’m training for a half. I did try a second “fake” type braBand from China but it’s definitely not been as bounce proof as the branded version.

I’m in, too.

I’ve really slacked off marathon training so far, so I’m doing it to literally have a tick box. My quiet days will be a mile and I’ll start building up marathon miles at the weekend as per usual.

Best bit is my DD(15) wants to join me for the one milers, which has made my day.

Ooh, I logged on planning to post this very question. I'm in!

I managed sub 30 min 5k in August and September having worked very VERY hard. Then had an injury in October and completely lost my mojo. Now I aim for 2x5k and 1x10k in a week. But haven't very often achieved it.

RED for me would mean just a 1k on a busy day.

Has everyone signed up to MIND, FB, Strava? Where are folks hanging out?

I'm up for this. Previously ran half marathons but recently park runs have been my limit. Planning to kick off New Year's Day with a double park run somewhere and take it from there. Really ought to factor in some weights and flexibility at some point in the week too.
