Loss of fitness

[Scobs]

Haven’t had a run for over three weeks, kids home , Christmas etc, so last night I decided to join running club. Wow big mistake. Theses people were like really going for it and them running 10 miles was a breeze, me I struggled to do 1.5 miles. Took short cuts and kept walking. Hence to say I won’t be going back to them again until I can run for ten miles at least

Who are these machines? 10 miles?! Good Lord! Lol ......

Much to fast and strong for me. Today I’m aching and hurting all over. Never had it this bad even when I first started running. Had stitch in side all through run. Really was absolutely shattered after their 10 miles in fifteen minutes with a three minute break.

I need to go at a much slower pace. My own pace.

I wouldn't stress about it. Is there any other running clubs about that are a bit more realistic for where you are at the moment? I am not ready to join a running club, I think I will always be a solitary runner.

[Scobs Graduate in reply to cheryl_couch_tatty]

No there isn’t any other clubs around me unfortunately. There’s one on a Tuesday night but I can’t do that because I’m a carer and I work. So as you say I think I’m going to be a solitary runner, and run at my own speed and distance

That's a shame that there are no other clubs. Keep your updates coming on here and we will keep you going anyway!

I haven't run this week, I have a bit of a sicky feeling which I am hoping will pass soon 🤨😞
