Hello newbies welcome Smile

A very short 2km which I abandoned as it was obviously too close to having eaten. But a better run today

6.4km
191/809

thenewaveragebear1983 · 11/03/2018 08:15

I did 3km yesterday, so that’s
124.4/ 875.6

Rest day today though!

Would anyone be able to recommend some good trainers for treadmill running please?

BitOutOfPractice · 11/03/2018 11:01

Morning. Reached 20% today. 150/600

I'd say you need your gait checking st s running shop thenewaveragebear1983 to see how much support you need, same as for outside running

thenewaveragebear1983 · 11/03/2018 11:19

Thanks bit, do the big places like decathlon do this? Or do I need to find an independent sport shop?

Slow stop/start 9k after two weeks off nursing sore foot. Still sore but I feel better for a run as was really missing it! Just hoping I can nurse the injury over the next couple of weeks and get back running properly again as I really need it for headspace, swimming & cycling doesn’t give me the same buzz

Total 163k

thenewaveragebear1983 · 13/03/2018 12:21

I’ve lost track of when I last updated, but I have run 4K yesterday and today.

Current total: 148.1km /851.9 to go!

atomicnotsoblonde · 14/03/2018 20:00

6.4km

197.4/802.6km

Looking forward to breaking 200 🙂

I went to the gym last night for the first time in about a year! I’m trying not to put any high impact on my sore toe joint so I ended up on the rowing machine and did 5000m in 25mins so I’m thinking of logging that as my 5km Grin I kinda of got in the groove & kept going it was rather therapeutic especially as I’m short n very curvy (don’t look as fit as I am) and a few burly blokes came on the other rowers and burnt out puffing after 5mins whilst I just kept rowing away Smile running really has made me fit I’m just desperate not to lose that over this foot injury!

Running 163k, Rowing 5k, Cycling 50k Swimning 8.5k = total 226.5k

stegosauruslady · 16/03/2018 18:34

Can I join in? I could use some oomph for my 1000miles run goal!

I'm currently at 202/1000. The last few weeks have been pretty low mileage as I did a half on 4th March and I'm doing another on the 25th, so tapering and recovery has slowed me down.

I'm going to take a couple of months off racing and not race until June now though!

thenewaveragebear1983 · 16/03/2018 18:45

5km today

That’s 158.1/841.9 to go

Tomorrow I really need to balance out my decimal places and do a 5.4km!

SkiGirl007 · 17/03/2018 11:18

I love running in the sunshine!

Tiredemma · 20/03/2018 20:21

Joining back after a rubbish few weeks. Completely lost motivation as I felt the first year anniversary of Mum passing creeping up on me and struggled. Have signed up to do an 8.5 mile fun run in June so no excuses now to not get out there.

Did my first 5k in ages earlier so back in the game!

Have some catching up to do.

Mumathon · 21/03/2018 18:30

Not been on here a while (in fact, have probably name changed since last time). Ran 15k today so now at 152 for the year. A fair bit behind where I’d like to be, but I’m hopeful I can catch up.

stegosauruslady · 22/03/2018 12:04

3 miles today with DP, which puts me at 221.

Race on Sunday, then I'm going to ramp up my weekly mileage for a while as I don't have another race until June.
