I've done Sedgefield Parkrun a few times. You'll get away with your normal roadies. There's a little bit up a hill through some woodland that you do twice but it's not too badAnyone done Sedgefield parkrun & if so is it most suitable for roadies, trailers or spikes?
Aye. Only just squeaked in last year. Seems to be a lot of organised queueing where a group will all open a session each & 1st to the front gets them for the whole group.
Did you ever go and see that physio at Coxhoe? I had calf bother in July and he sorted it in 20 (painful) minutes !this was on my radar mate as have never properly raced a HM , just did GNR with mates twice donkeys years ago, always fancied trying that one, but had niggly calf last couple week so prob wont bother. I had also wanted another crack at Carlisle Brampton 10miler next month and thats down the shitter now
Yes mate and a bloke in Sunderland who dan recommended , reckons my glutes aren’t firing up and very tight hips so calfs were overloading ... ran today for first time in 10 days, just did 35mins but felt ok , cycle or swim tomorrow then try 40-45 run Sunday . Won’t bother with brass monkey now , would love a crack at a decent HM in the spring if canDid you ever go and see that physio at Coxhoe?

Sounds quite similar to mine, calf’s taking the weight of the work. I’m having to do loads of Pilates type stuff to build up my core. Hips and glutes are my weakness.Yes mate and a bloke in Sunderland who dan recommended , reckons my glutes aren’t firing up and very tight hips so calfs were overloading ... ran today for first time in 10 days, just did 35mins but felt ok , cycle or swim tomorrow then try 40-45 run Sunday .

Do you go Pilates classes ? I’ve picked 5 or 6 stretches that gonna do regularly . People who sit at work tend to have weak glutes and hips . Be interested to know what your doing ?

Edinburgh’s a good one to do in May. Fast, flat and it starts at 8 so you can normally be back in the city on the beer by midday !
Yep, I go once a week. I have a daily routine where i do what I found the most useful stuff too.Do you go Pilates classes ? I’ve picked 5 or 6 stretches that gonna do regularly .

I was on holiday for a fortnight recently, did a bit of running but knocked all the stretching/core work on the head. Felt absolutely dreadful when I started training properly again as a result, aches and pains everywhere. Taken me two weeks to feel right again. It's a necessary evil sadlyWill have a look at some of these exercises lads, I’m terrible at keeping up with stretches and exercises tho unless i go to a class!
I know Mike, he's a good lad. I often pick his brains about niggles at races. He runs for Richmond but think he's based in Peterlee.There's a bloke called Mike Jeffries does a runners pilates class around various County Durham locations. I know he does Durham, Peterlee, Hartlepool & Billingham but not sure where else.
I've been going to a general Pilates class for 3 months now as it's included in my gym subs & even though it's not runner specific it seems to have put a stop to the constant niggles I've been having all year.
Also Paul Wilson at Abbey and Crook. Excellent pilates teacher.I was on holiday for a fortnight recently, did a bit of running but knocked all the stretching/core work on the head.

Am injured at the minute but like to do about 20 - 25 miles a week over either 3, 4 or 5 days.How often do people run on here? Every day or a day inbetween?

1.15 for a half. Thats seriously quick. I can get under 2 hours ok.Been a very lazy month or so for me running wise.
Was reasonably happy with a 1:15 half marathon and then had decided to have 4-5 weeks of light running. Now about ready to start up again but hamstring is naggingly sore.
Need a couple of trips to the physio to try and sort it and then start thinking about a long range training plan for London marathon. Let's see if the body can hold together...
what was crack mate ? were you having bother for long and what did physio do ? was it Neil you saw ? (sent you a text incase see it)Did you ever go and see that physio at Coxhoe? I had calf bother in July and he sorted it in 20 (painful) minutes !
