I find my bones and joints aren't ready for a run on an early morning. Lack of food doesn't bother me, I can probably do 16 miles before struggling.


Went to see him today.

Clicked all my back and put me straight. My tibia and fibula in both legs were out. My ankles were out. Loads of knots in my calf. Popped them with needles and an extremely deep tissue massage after. Then he done my neck and shoulders.

It could be that tbh, I just know I found it a slog. Like I was running through mud, no bounce or energy.

I used the SIS orange ones in my half marathons last year. They’re not delicious but they’re not bad, they’re down in two seconds. Heard some people say their stomachs don’t agree with them though, thankfully I was fine with them

How much does that cost?

I don't mind the SIS ones. I normally go out first thing without eating anything and don't bother if it's anything less than 10k. Even after that it's probably more of a mental thing.
Could have done with something this morning though.:lol: Wind kept me awake most of the night so went out at 5.30am. Only a 5k but seemed to be gusting in my face on all the uphill bits and never seemed to have it at my back.

Yer I don’t bother with water or gels below 10k. Half marathon I thing I had one at 5 miles then again at 9, like you I think it’s a mental thing cause as soon as they’re down my neck and get a second wind. Still, I’m burning around 1200 cals an hour running at my size so they can’t hurt!
 
I took a hydration supplement called Totum Sport at the Sunderland half a few years back, for me it's the best thing out there and it's totally banished my cramps and DOMS which I suffered from. Great for getting me through runs/half marathons and they've helped me acheive multiple PB's. They're normally £18 + 4 quid delivery for 10 sachets but they're doing £10 + free delivery with it being hydration week. Never seen them this cheap so got the mrs and a few family members to order me some boxes :lol:

www.totumsport.com

code i used was hydration10

I use iso gels. They're like a drink. If you pm me your address I'll drop one off, I think you're in South shields?

How often do you go?

Or do you just book a appointment when something doesn't feel right?

Don't know whether it is worth just going every 6 months or so just to check make sure everything is in place.

Just done a half marathon, pretty slow but furthest I’ve ever ran in training.

When I hear people going on about alignment and stuff I always hear “bullshit”. Probably too negative but it always sounds like snake oil to me.

Think I need a good physio though, my recovery times are shit and I’m missing a lot of runs midweek. I can’t do acupuncture as it’s not allowed if you’re a blood donor, and not sure I’m convinced on the science behind it either.

No point buying a box if you don't like one. A friend gave me one today so I'll pass the favour on.

You need to go and try it. I never believed acupuncture until he done it. I can feel the knot being pierced.
