Running

Hi there, I’m curious for any runners on here what your routine is. Do you run everyday? Take a rest date? On the street or in the gym? A combination of both? I know we’re all different so not a one size fits all. Many thanks.

Today after not being able to run for a month due to a nasty chest cough managed local Parkrun not my best did a fair amount of jeffing but I did it boy have I missed being out running now to rebuild my Strength.

Dexy5mentioned books as a cheaper option for running related gifts, so I thought I'd start a thread and look forward to hearing others' suggestions.

I was running 10K weekly, as one of my runs and have a couple of 10K races booked next year. Now the nights are dark after work and cold, I'm running on the treadmill twice a week then a 5K parkrun on a Saturday.

Qustion Prior to my HA my resting Heart rate was around 40 and when running it would be around 150ish. Since my HA my resting Heart rate has now settled to around the same but when running I struggle to get it above 125.

When it came to the questions, I could not believe that at least half were for me about my running, and after, when we had a break, more people and seemed genuinely interested.

I have decided perhaps I need a new pair of running shoes - I think I bought my current ones in 2011! I now suffer from plantar fasciitis, and think I should probably treat myself. I only (try to!)

I am after a bit of advice please as I haven't quite worked out the right balance of food and running. I have tried getting up in the morning and going for a run first then eating breakfast after but find my energy levels aren't the best.

So I have been out of running due to a chesty cough for almost three weeks.

Im 57 and running has been a big part of my life for 17 years. Ive never been fast and not always consistent. I've struggled a bit with running since my mum passed away 18 month's ago (when I ran I grieved and then I cried).

Hi Does anyone know what the latest advice is about running and endo? I was always encouraged to run by a long time endo specialist who has since moved on. This week a podiatrist has advised avoiding high impact exercise such as running because it can be inflammatory.

Hi all, just a quick post in relation to some other ones about what to wear in winter; needing new gear but not wanting to spend too much; etc.: RollingPea kindly posted about Contra stuff on sale on Parkrun's website, and everything of that brand is currently £10 or less! I've ordered some things,

I spiralled into a deep depression today and slept most of the day. I had been doing well but my daughter told me her sister wants us out of this house. I'm waiting on SSI and a settlement from an accident. Because it's taking so long I feel worthless and I don't know what to do from here. My kids are

While I've been reading all your posts about running at the crack of dawn to avoid the heat, up north it has been rather a poor imitation of summer. Warm weather but not hot. Occasional sun, but more often than not it has been glowering clouds and all kinds of rain.

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/14/well/move/walking-running-health-benefits.html I don't think it's behind a paywall, I believe that the NYT allows you to read a certain number of articles each month for free. Happy reading, happy walking and happy running all!

Is there a programme that goes with the slow running movement?

Wonder if I need to change running style and how.

So I thought I’d ask the fountain of running knowledge about the pros and cons. I can see it would be good to have water and gels etc on tap but do they jiggle up and down, are they hot to wear, obs you can’t take a layer off easily once on.

Happy running to you all 🏃‍♀️🏃(Oh dear, it doesn't look as if my pic is going to post)

This is my first winter running. After picking it up in the summer, no one is more surprised and impressed than me that I’m still keen to go out running in the middle of winter. But… what do you do when it’s icy?
