Running Thread 2019



Had a shit week this week mentally, weather was shit last night but I knew going for a long run would clear my head.

So glad I did. Do you know that feeling when some days you feel like running feels completely effortless and you could just keep on going? Came back completely in a much better frame of mind.

I haven’t felt it for almost 4 months but thinking about the feeling takes me back to a happy place!
 
Been pretty much sidelined for two weeks. Partly due to my foot but the walking for a mile on my 8 mile run a couple weeks ago has turned into bailing on a 5k, bailing 200 metres into a 10k on Saturday and leaving the gym after 10 minutes on Monday. I'm hoping that it is just linked to the pain in my foot and painkillers having a knock on effect.
This escalated a bit. In hindsight the signs were there for a while but I’ve had two stents fitted this morning.
Cardiologist wasn’t concerned at first but a few months on and various tests and scans showed two blocked arteries.
Feel champion now and was awake during whole thing.
Put on two clem since it happened so need to get back on the road.😂
Will speak to specialist tomorrow but think I should be able to do a couch to 5k.
 
crap. i hurt my hamstring on wednesday night and was a dnf. i only started it as my cousin was coming from switzerland to do it. she done really well and finished. weather was absolutely minging, worst conditions i've had for a race, much worse than the lakeland 100 this year.
hope just a minor pull mate you been doing really well the past year or more

p.s - pic of the cuz ? :D

Physio thinks so which is a bit positive. Cheers, amazed I've not had other injuries!

They're on Facebook if you want to check.

Cheers mate. Obviously I'm gutted about dnf but I'm over it now.

No disgrace in dnf in that at all. Glad I was in the warm and dry all day. Can't believe people are still complaining about the change in route even though mountain rescue basically said change it or cancel. Sunday gave David a kick up the arse , he struggled to keep on his feet even walking it. So I think he's going to come to the strollers and start from the beginning again which I'm glad about as he must have enjoyed it again

Super, no doubt I'll be posting it on here when they're due to do it again.
