New Insoles got and nothing was going to stop me from attempting 10k this mor ING without left foot pain. Away I went. All good slow steady pace. Hamstring feeling fine, 39mins in Pain in my toes. Any I continued on and done 8.2k in 48.55 before I had to stop as it was getting too much. Anyone help is there better insoles than a 7mm cushion at the front. So frustrated. On the up side tho I shaved 5mins off my last 8k back in November.

Well done JL, I assume when you say "nothing was going to stop me" you are referring to the weather. New insoles make it much easier for running, especially attempting a 10K, just a pity that you didn't complete the full 10k but congratulations on running 8.2K in 48.55. and shaving off 5 minutes from last November, don't feel to flustrated, there are hundreds if not thousands of runner's flustrated today because of cancelled parkruns this morning due to the weather.

Thanks. Yeah no weather was going to stop me. I didn't complete the 10k cause it was too sore on my left foot toes. The Insoles where hopefully meant to cure that. That's y I'm back to square 1.

If you are just recovering from an injury it is wise to run at a nice steady pace, not one that is going to knock minutes off your pb.

The recommendation is that we should run 75-80% of our time at this easy pace to build stamina and keep injury risk minimal.

Today was not PB. Today was about going a slow steady pace and running for 10k or 60mins in no pain. I even done the hilly route to keep me slow. I only noticed it was PB When I was updating strava. I'm done for a while chasing PB. If I get them happy days but if I don't I'm just want to try and up my distance. I feel I have the energy and the go but this stupid foot thing is holding me back

[IannodaTruffe Mentor in reply to Johnnylewis]

It is because of your injury that you really need to consciously pull back the pace, to a degree that accidental PBs are totally out of the question.

Take care.
