anyone have painful ankles?is that a sign of bad trainers?

thenewaveragebear1983 · 06/02/2020 14:39

@kateandme how old /how many miles have you done in your current trainers? Mine tend to lady around 300-400 miles before I start getting twinges, and then they get demoted to bootcamp/circuits and I get new runners. If it's relatively recent ankle pain then it could be time....

8.5km today with my friend, gorgeous crisp cold day.

119.5/ 880.5

I am still managing a daily walk, although missed recording a couple of days on Stava. Lovely walk along an old railway line today and onto some water meadows.
105K walking (Strava), 15K bike at the Gym.

thenewaveragebear1983 thanks for reply
Do you mean how old there person or trainers? The trainers are brand new.but proper and quite expensive!we've done 5 and 10ks so not beginners.but the legs are starting to get more and more painful.but as you say the old trainers had run their course, hence why the new ones.but the pain hasn't stopped.

Forgot to check in last week. I finished January on 65km and have done 20 so far for February. Aiming for the Reading half as the first big race of the year at the beginning of April. Last year I did 350km in total, so this is a pretty big step up for me. Hopefully my calves will survive...

kingsassassin · 07/02/2020 13:54

sorry total for the year: 85/915

OhYouBadBadKitten · 07/02/2020 14:13

9.5 miles run in beautiful weather conditions, 3.5 miles walked.

196/804 miles walked and run.

I'm not anticipating going for a run on Sunday! Please, if you are going out, avoid trees, cliffs and seafronts!

I had forgotten about this thread. I ran 49.5km in January. Hoping to achieve more in February.

TriSkiRun99 · 08/02/2020 10:59

I’ve pulled out of the half marathon I was supposed to be doing on Sunday. They still haven’t cancelled it despite scaling back on lots of the support stuff like signs out and pulling out a water station because of the wind forecast! I’m hoping they will credit me as they were offering at credit on another race if injured which I’m at as well but I’m not prepared to run 2hrs+ in heavy rain and 50pmh!
Volunteered at ParkRun instead this morn which involved 2.5m walk as we had the furthest point but beautiful morning.

Inniu · 08/02/2020 12:58
