Time to go visiting....?

Morning running people...

Yes, me again... It is a wet, wild and windy morning here, but the perfect day for a quick visit!

I have answered so, so many posts over the last few days, regarding all manner of niggling injuries or issues with our running. Sitting on the injury couch known as the IC, is really no fun at all!

So... just a reminder for us, all of us; because injury happens to all runners, whatever level they are at! Taking care of our running body is essential and putting in some work, making sure they stay injury free, is very worth it!

We have an incredible resource in our sister site, our Strength and Flex forum , so if you have not paid it a visit, then please do so.

healthunlocked.com/strength...

healthunlocked.com/couchto5......

You will find a lot of advice there in the posts and the links and often too, in replies to the posts. A place to chat about what you are doing on some of those rest days and how you are working to keep yourself injury free!

E.g

healthunlocked.com/strength.....

Take a look at past posts on there too!

Anyone on the forums, who has been injured will tell you,, how important your non impact work is on some of your rest days, for keeping those running parts fit and healthy!

They will also tell you, prevention is definitely better than cure

Time to go visiting! See you there soon , I hope

Now part of my non run day routine. Routine is good, takes the decision out of choice

Great advice from you Floss, I had a slight '.injury' to my upper arm on Saturday night Sunday morning, I think it was due to the whole weight of my body when I was sleeping on my side, it hasn't affected running, but some of the other exercises I do, especially with my kettle bells I will not do until the pain has gone, not so bad this morning. 😊

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Great stuff Al ! Hope it eases soon

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

It's practically away now, however, this evening I went for my annual flu inoculation, jag, the nurse put the needle in about the same place that my arm was sore, OK, but the kettle bell excersises will have to wait until later on in the week, tomorrow I will go for my midweek run.

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Just take it gently...remember to he kind to yourself x

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Thank you Floss, I will be kind to myself, tomorrow only a 3K run, Saturday will be my 8th parkrun. 😊

I was at the gym again yesterday and feeling ready for my run today. I am 10 months in on my Stregnth training every week and feel so much stronger for it. I swear it is the S&F forum that keeps me going otherwise I would not be so dedicated 😀. Thank you Floss. Rfc xxx
