Welcome and here it is...It is a place where there are lots and lots of ideas which will support you in your running. Some rest day exercise is so helpful as you begin running...

Have you checked out the How to Run C25K post... there is a lot of helpful information about so many things... ?

I am guilty of neglecting strength work! 😬 🏋🏻‍♀️ 💪 There always seems something else that needs to be done first (excuses, excuses 😂). Will be heading over to S&F😊

Ok. I joined strength and flex. I'm doing back exercises everyday and stretching too - "prescribed" by my physio. I'll definitely take a look though.

I'm already a member of S&F, but confess to doing not much on either the stregnth or flex fronts 😶

yep Im in, got a groin strain and reckon its because Im not doing enough strength and flexibility exercises, so see you there!! 😇

Joining S&F years ago is the closest I've got to anything that might qualify, probably because I've never understood what strength and stamina work is supposed to mean!

Oldfloss profile image
OldflossAdministratorGraduate in reply to Cmoi

All things to all people.. and for some...maybe not part of their running...My intention here is to give some ideas , some enabling skills which may be of use to our runners.

The choices of course are always those of the individual:)

Cmoi profile image
CmoiGraduate in reply to Oldfloss

Maybe I've actually done some without knowing it then! I'll be taking a look anyway in the hope of feeling less clueless 😀
