Hi all, I haven't posted for a few weeks, since graduating, but have continued being warmed, heartened and inspired by numerous other runners here!
A few days ago, Gwenllian1 posted about being more disciplined with the running than with other things like S&F... and I'm exactly the same. The C25K programme is just so neat/contained! And I've just been able to carry on with running (jogging!) three times a week, amazingly. I do think I need to supplement my running though because I still have aches and pains in my legs (and a recent diagnosis of tendonitis in my glutes and hamstrings, although I think I've had it for years). I know there is lots of information available but I get a bit bewildered by everything behind all the links. Time is also a challenge for me, and I long for an 'if you do nothing else, just do this quick routine on non-run days'! I guess that is unrealistic though...?! 😬😂

Might this workout (ugh, I hate that word!) be helpful? Apparently it's 15 minutes twice a week and aimed at new runners: runnersworld.com/uk/trainin... And if you're into multi-tasking, I'd say the squats and possibly the calf raises could be done while brushing your teeth.
I'd also suggest you check specifically what might help or exacerbate tendonitis, and get professional advice if necessary. I have absolutely no medical or health qualifications, I'm just a random person on the internet!
I really recommend this one! They're are loads of very helpful programmes and videos but this one really hit the spot for me and is easy to fit into life!!
Loads of links and too many to choose... loads on teeth cleaning squats though.. I have been banging on about those for years... I do them every single day...
and Bodyfit with Amy, ( one of my Favourites) , does have some excellent short impact routines which are great to do... five minute, ten minute or 15... and can bel linked together for a longer session too.
Do.as Cmoi says, check, please, that anything you choose will not exacerbate those tendonitis issues! Eeek!
student physio here, I’m assuming you have seen a physio to get the diagnosis? If you don’t have an exercise plan in place you may find this useful it contains a short exercise program broken down into weeks for progression. upswinghealth.com/wp-conten... There are glute and some hamstring exercises. When working with patients I advocate working in discomfort, but not pain. If it hurts stop. They are great strengthening and stretching exercises and staggered so good for all abilities.
Many thanks, very much appreciated from someone who knows! I will have a look. And yes, an MRI scan that was arranged by a physiotherapist (actually for my lower back pain) showed it, and I'm being referred to a rheumatologist now for further analysis. I really do want to keep running though because of the incredible good I know it's doing me! Thank you again.

Over the finishing line.....
C25k and S&F combined, not really working for me!
Great respect to you country runners (Cars and flies :S)
