I'd actually welcome that at the best of times. Would be like being 'promoted' or 'relegated' each time you moved group!

It works quite well. Particularly if someone from the group in front has overestimated their form a bit &/or you've underestimated yours & there are long straight stretches. At Dalton Park I started seeing glimpses of the last of the group in front of me about 1.5 miles in & it gave me a hare to catch. I ended up catching her with about a mile to go & finished 3.5 mins ahead of my official 10K pb even though my pb was set on a flatter all road course.
Enjoyed my first proper run with the strollers last night, I hope the restrictions coming in on Monday don't impact it

The statement from England Athletics it won't be. Update: Athletics and Running activity will not be affected by the new restrictions - Athletics & Running

First 'run' (if you can call it that) for a couple months today. Just jogging for 30 seconds and then walking for 30 seconds around my usual 5km route. Few twinges from the ankle but it felt stronger... Worse case if I'm stuck like this for good I can do the same thing for a marathon and finish it in 5 hours which I'd be happy with.

Signed up for it tonight. Looks the hardest thing i've attempted, 6500ft of climbing..
I did a track session tonight, it’s going to be a painful day tomorrow!

Same here, hip flex muscles a bit sore this morning mate.
I can’t pick one area of pain currently, my legs don’t feel like my own, off out for a walk shortly to ease them a bit.

Signed up for wooler trail half a fortnight ago to give me some focus and back into a routine.
Getting the love of running again, feeling fitter and looking forward to my next run - until today when I took a tumble and after 4hrs in A and E get told I have a fractured foot.
Just typical isn't it.

If that doesn't help I find half an hour on a static bike with low rpm & low resistance normally does the trick as a backup plan.
I’m still a bit tender but it did the job, gentle look out again tomorrow I reckon.

Wahey!
With parkrun hopefully coming back next month I thought I'd better see where I'm at so I can position myself appropriately at the start.
1st time under 20 mins for 5k (19:36). Over the moon with that.

Was hitting 5 k comfortably was slowly taking it up to 10 k now my back troubles are back, been bed bound for 5 days and back in a dark place I’m desperate to get out of. Backs been in spasm since Saturday morning can’t even walk to the kettle, hopefully the back specialist has a solution at my review in October at the fracture clinic. Absolutely devastated was starting to really love running as it was the only time my back didn’t hurt. People worse off than me I suppose. Keep at it people, yous can all smash it.

I've been out for 5k runs on Wednesday and Thursday. Only just managing to get under 30 mins. It feels like I've never ran before.
Hope you get your back issue sorted mate.

Thanks bud, it’s a lot better today, they’ve given me some new anti inflammatory tablets today too so hopefully that helps. Probably stick to walking till after I’ve seen my surgeon.
