2015 Running Thread

[ThursdayLast]

Well...nearly!

Thread for all running chat, no matter how fast or how far you run

9.6 from me
=466.2

I went out fully expecting to make it as far as the end of my road and turn back, I seem to have done something to my hip/glute/upper thigh, possibly when training legs in the gym.
Once I got going it was fine, and yet I've been sort of limping with it for a couple of days, running appears to have cured it
(hope I've not spoken too soon)

Emummy, I remember some very painful sports massages in the IT band vacinity!
I hope yours do the trick for you:)

Can I join you?

I made a New Year resolution to learn to run outdoors again. I used to love running and then had DS, made a few half-hearted attempts to get back into it on the treadmill, blamed a lack of time and then gave up completely. For years.

I've bought new trainers and forced DS out this afternoon for a walk/run with the goal of doing a Parkrun once I/we can go the three miles without stopping.

We 'plodded' 2.1 miles today, not sure whether I can add it to your ongoing total but it felt good to have made the first step.

Oh, and despite what I was worried about, no one made rude comments, the neighbours didn't come out to have a laugh, no one beeped their horn and I didn't feel as stupid as I thought I would!

Well done bean of course you can add your miles

Adding my 3.1 from Parkrun and 3 from today. I think that makes it 472.3.

Suzanne next week she is doing something called kinetic chain release, I think, which is apparently agony at the time but great the next day. Would it be acceptable to drink whisky throughout do you think?!

that sounds interesting Emummy, I think you may need a lolly stick to bite on (in addition to the whiskey)
please be a guinea pig for the rest of us let us know how it goes :o

That sounds great bean! How old is your ds? My dd is 4 and would like to do a park run "one day".

3.81 miles for me today. Painful! Just not feeling it at all. Plus a dodgy tummy meant an undignified pit stop in a ditch.... Fun!

But, on the bright side, I did feel much better for running and a bit of indignity never killed me yet!

476.11

5.6 miles from my running club training session tonight.
481.76

Another 3.2 from me 479.31
Having now done three 5ks in less than a week, after not doing any last year, im really starting to get back into it. I really enjoyed tonight's run, although carrying a stroppy 6 year old to bed just now was difficult

X post again!
484.96

I'm going to rest today, my back and abs ache and I haven't slept well the last two nights. Luckily my running buddy can do tomorrow instead

Adding my modest 2.1 gives 487.06.

Edith He's 6 and actually did very well. I have promised to take him for decent running shoes at the weekend if he's serious about it.

484.96 + my 2.6 tonight makes 487.56 (I think)

Ran with friends again, much more enjoyable. Up to week 2 on the C25K now so running for 1:30 at a time.

X-post every time! 489.66 then!

bean maybe I should get my 6 year old running shoes, rather than carrying him to bed! Would certainly help my aching quads.

492.86 with my 3.2 this eve, another good run despite the fact it seemed every traffic light went against me! Tomorrow is a rest day for me but I may go for a swim whilst madthing5 is at pre school.

Well done to all our newbies and those doing couch25km :)

And eww to dodgy pit stops due to upset tummies, I am always really paranoid about that as I don't run anywhere secluded enough to stop! I do go past a few friends houses so would have to be an impromptu guest!

That's fab bean, good on him.

Yeah the pitstop was not in any way good - thankfully out in the sticks!

Anyone doing the 1000 mile challenge? I started tonight and have done a massive 3.43 miles

2.65 from me tonight. Didn't enjoy the run and was hoping to get to 3.1 but just wasn't in the spirit and felt like it was getting pains in my knee - prob imaginary but decided I best stop (and go home to the warm and eat!).

What's the 1,000 mile challenge Tiredemma?

3.3 miles from me this morning. Drizzly, but warm. I haven't r hours my last couple of runs, but was feeling it again today, so that's good. :)

Counting the last few mileages, I get 502.24.

bean my DD who is 6 sometimes does parkrun with me. I think though it's less to do with running and more to do with the cake at the end!

degustibus ( I think that's the start of your name, I'm on my phone and it was pages ago!) good luck in your race and well done on fighting those depression demons. It's a bugger. Fingers crossed your training will help to keep it at bay.

I'm very excited to add 4.23 from the running club I joined tonight!! It was a lovely run that I really enjoyed.
