Week 9 Run 1 - Oh bum!

[TailChaser]

Well, 30 minutes x 1 in the bag. The run itself was fine, I seem to be able to run 30 minutes without a problem, if I didn’t have a right leg that was playing me up something chronic. I have looked through the community’s posts and it appears to be very similar to ‘Runners Bum’. So, I’m going to have delay graduation 🤬 and rest it and stretch it and pummel it with a lumpy roller. It doesn’t surprise me too much as I’ve had back problems in the past so a bit of weakness in those supporting muscles was likely. I’m going to aim for Run 2 on Friday but I’ll see how it goes. A bit annoyed but at least today’s run confirmed to me that I can run for 30 minutes and that I really do prefer the outside to the treadmill, even if I have to get up at stupidly early hours in the morning during the week to have time to do it!

Do plenty of strength exercises, especially for your core, while you are resting from running.

You will soon be back to a triumphant graduation.

Well done on 30 minutes! I ended up having three days rest between r1 & r2 and probably better off for it. Due to do r3 and graduate today but might delay until tomorrow as I can run in the morning then rather than evening will see how I feel. I have been getting a little lower back pain but straightening up trying to pull in my previously non existent core is sorting it out whilst running - lots of good advice about listening to your body on the forum from experienced runners and my body is finally found its voice 😂😂 so I’m listening! Hope you’re feeling good soon, see you at graduation 😁

Thanks awaw yes, there’s some brilliant advice and experience to learn from on this forum. I wouldn’t have known about this condition without it I don’t think because I could just search the symptoms so easily. Good luck with your graduation run, save a space for me on that podium 😀🤗🏃‍♀️
