S&F Issues!

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...?! 😬😂

I can so empathise  HorsePlay .

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!

Thank you so much - 15 mins twice a week sounds manageable! 😂 And point completely taken about the tendonitis, thanks again.

If you like a plan you might find the Nike Training Club app useful. It's free and you don't need to buy Nike gear to use it.

Lots and lots of different workouts, lots of plans and most of them are short, 10 minutes or so per session.

Good luck 😁.
