I know I sometimes do run backwards, very slowly and in a safe place... when my legs get tired..but then I do lots of odd things..

I've walked backwards up mountains to save my aching calves - but this is new! Interesting! So who's going to be incorporating this into their training plan?

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to JaySeeSkinny]

Well.. I'll try anything once

[poppypug Graduate]

I am sure Miles Yonder on here used to do this !

Very interesting read, Thanks Floss xxx

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to poppypug]

I don't run backwards but I walk backwards to stretch my calves, only short distances though

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to misswobble]

It does work though... doesn't it ?

[Noaky12 Graduate]

I'll give it a go! 😁

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Noaky12]

I am going to, tomorrow.. Brilliant!

[Irishprincess Graduate]

Haha! I once belonged to a gym where a certain member of the royal family was a member too. I remember he tried running backwards on a treadmill and let's just say what happened next wasn't pretty........

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Oh my goodness. so you really are ...well.. Royal..or at least brushing shoulders with Royalty... I am curtsying as we speak! x

I would love to have seen that!! I am going to give the running backwards a try tomorrow...if the weather improves.. currently sleet here.. !

[Irishprincess Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

I have some great stories! Oooh good luck with the running backwards. I walk backwards for very short distances when warming up. I've read that it stretches the calves. Nice weather here. Sun but lots of cloud too.

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Irishprincess]

Well... we will see... it could go badly... I shall find a large open space...!

You good ?x

[Irishprincess Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]
