Aches n pains 😳

[Unfit53]

W4R1 tomorrow. Hip & ankles aching even when walking 😞

Do I try & “run it off” or have another rest day - not sure?

I would see how you feel tomorrow, if you are feeling pain give it another day. I was getting real pain in my knees and was advised to run on grass as reduced impact.

[Unfit53 Graduate in reply to DorisB]

Probably sound advice. My route I could do partly on grass so maybe that will help.

Just don’t want to be looking out for dog poop!

Some aches and pains are normal... depends on the nature of the pain. See how you feel and if you do go, be prepared to stop if you get sharp or stabbing pain, or if it gets more intense.

[Unfit53 Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

It’s not sharp stabbing pain, more dull ache like toothache if you get my drift

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Unfit53]

They’re pretty normal... what Oldfloss said below IMO

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Normal aches and pains we expect. Real pain no... make sure you are putting in strength and stamina exercise on some of your rest days..and do your stretches after every run.

Slow and steady as you go.

[Unfit53 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

I’ll see how I go. Might leave it until tomorrow evening rather than AM.

[CatMo13 Graduate]

Have you got trainers fitted for your gait ? That makes a big difference...

[Unfit53 Graduate in reply to CatMo13]

No not yet, was waiting until about week 4/5 just to make sure I’d stick with it

[CatMo13 Graduate in reply to Unfit53]

Well I reckon it’s crunch time 😊

[Unfit53 Graduate in reply to CatMo13]

Yes maybe so 😳😳

[CatMo13 Graduate in reply to Unfit53]

You won’t believe the difference. I was the same on Week 4 that’s when I got mine and knee and hip pains all stopped

[Unfit53 Graduate in reply to CatMo13]

Defo worth doing then

[jiggles7 Graduate in reply to CatMo13]

Trainers bought with a gait analysis and it’s made a huge difference, I agree with catmo13 😀

Oooh also frozen peas on bits that tend to get sore, 15 mins post run and 15 mins before bed. The better half calls me the peas knees as I sit on the floor icing them.😳

[Unfit53 Graduate in reply to jiggles7]

😆😆

Will try the frozen peas
