Thank you Oldfloss! 😁

[skysue16 Graduate]

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😊

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to skysue16]

See you later!

[RunforMum Graduate]

Perfect timing for me.

[Fors Graduate]

[Kauyak Graduate]

Exercises ?I can find the forum but not the exercises. Is there a link? Apologies if I'm being dim!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Kauyak]

Loads on there...but my post will not be upo until later today

[Kauyak Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Found! I was being dim! However just returned home from running week 5 run 1 and my head is much clearer now! Looking forward to run 2

[Gthants]

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.

[Jools2020 Graduate]

OK you’ve sold it to me. I’ve joined and await your posts! I’ve plenty of free time just waiting to be put to good use 😊

[Over60sRunner Graduate]

👀👀👀👀👀👀

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

[Hedgehogs123 Graduate]

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

[Cmoi Graduate]

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 Administrator Graduate 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 Graduate 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 😀

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Cmoi]

Todays post is very much a fun one... don't judge too harshly x

[ClairePC Graduate]
