Oh yes!!!

[Hidden]

Great to hear you have left the ic! I am trying to stay away from it myself at the moment. Onwards and upwards is what we need to hear. 7k is a brilliant result, well done.

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Horrid place... but hopefully... off for a while

[Frank-ntj Graduate10]

That's great to hear Floss, take it steady and get yourself up to speed again. Hope those niggles are long gone. 😎

Oldfloss, do you run every day? Laura says to rest a day and my doctor told me to do so also when I asked if I could, but I sometimes I find I want to run every day. (I am 70, btw.... and just graduated a couple months or so ago.)

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10 in reply to LiisaM]

No..never... our legs need recovery time.. and there is so much else to do on rest days, walk, cycle, swim, Yoga, garden.. climb.. Pilates!

Also an exercise regime is great to... to keep our whole selves really in trim and strong

It is the time when our muscles repair themselves..

[LiisaM in reply to Oldfloss]

Thanks, Oldfloss. I feel so much better when I am active; I miss running on "off" days.

[mrrun Graduate10 in reply to LiisaM]

Unless you're a 25 year old pro going for the Olympics, you cannot run every day, as simple as that.

If you do then you WILL get injured and as a result won't be able to run at all, will be in pain and may take months to recover.

How do l know all that lovely data? Because l ran without rest and felt l could get away with it.

Seriously, it's not worth the hassle. Rest up, do any other non impact activity and you'll be alright.

[LiisaM in reply to mrrun]

Thanks, mrrun! I value your experience and reply!

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10]

yipeeeee!!! So looking forward to reading your posts again Oldfloss ...& it’ll make a change for you to not be propping me up all the time!!!! 😉

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Mummycav]

Not propping, running beside you..like friends do
