I am hoping some of you are still getting across here...
!
How are the foot and ankles doing and those calves... hopefully they are getting you out and running with few problems.., and your knees... are they feeling any stronger too ?
I am posting some new exercises today... and hopefully they will be useful!
I have noticed quite a few posts about aching hips and sore hamstrings so..maybe those folk will find them and use them !
Okay.. on the way up.... this week the exercises are for our ..
There'll be no time left in the day to brush my teeth at this rate! I must confess I'm still stuck at prioritising my feet and ankles, but these links are all fab and will be so useful. Thanks OF 🙂
There really is not enough time is there? I am hoping folk may get the links in one place and pick and choose...I am toe creeping at the moment as I sit here!
Thank you so much Floss! I’m reeling at the amount of time I’m spending exercising/stretching/browsing running gear - much more than running! 😂 How are you doing?
I know.. There are not enough hours in the day. I am doing okay thank you ! I had a toe twinge... so have been using a lot of the foot exercises... ! Then an aching calf.. so used the calf exercises!!
Thanks Floss, I’m following last week’s exercises after overdoing it last weekend.😳Schoolboy error on my part and I should have known better.😊 It turns out I’m not Superman🤣
I’ll add some of these to my routine for a bit of variety so thanks for the post!🙂👍
Those glutes really are important..and improving their strength impacts speed too. My happy pace now..gone from 7.35 per K to under 6.30 per K..and for short distances...under 6 mins...unbelievable really...🐌
Bluebirdrunner had a link about glutes...I and many of us tried and still use the technique..if not in all the run, then part of it..all to do with clenching the butt! Sounds odd, but really works!
Fantastic links - thank you! It's great to have different suggestions as I find I stick to a couple of favourites out of convenience & forget there are others which are often more suitable. Happy stretching! 🙂
Floss, have you tried Adriene’s Yoga for the Feet? It might help your toe. I did it several times when I had my infamous yoga toe injury last year, and it felt wonderful.
I’m going to start yoga back up properly soon, and do one of her 30 day challenges as well as running, but I can’t concentrate on anything specific until after mum’s funeral.
Take care! (Oh, are you able to make it to Stratford this weekend?? 🤞) xx
