Experiences with

Running

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!)

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).

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.

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

Wonder if I need to change running style and how.

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!

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)

You could hear the odd animal running through them but not seen! I continued the 1km of this doing the odd sprint then walk through them until i emerged from them on to the urbanisation where I had to locate my bearings to get back to Mum in laws house! It was 27c by 09:00hrs!

I know I'm running my mind in circles, by asking similar questions, but these are the issues that I have in my mind that I'd like to address. When it comes to my body language and body movements do people just simply ignore it if they see it? Does it not register in their minds?

Before I knew it, I’d been running for just over ten minutes and it was time to turn for home. By now I’d settled into a lovely rhythm and when twenty minutes had passed I dropped to a walk.

I’ve been feeling a little less than motivated at the end of this week. Someone (OF or MU) advised me to try something new and so I did. First time I’ve run to work. Nice slow pace - carrying a backpack with laptop, etc. Turns out it’s about 3K. Really enjoyed it. Now to find a shower on campus

On a short holiday on the coast. So nice to run down the promenade with Jo Whiley and Bruce Springsteen. Just wish my name was Wendy. #BornToRun

Hello, I recently came across a book titled Chi Running. I haven't heard of this but wondered if anyone has tried it.Thank you

I am using Couch25k to ease me back into running after a break of 3 months .I am half way through the program and I am finding it helpful

A quick post to recommend an interesting NRC run 'More than running'. A coach and a PT (physiotherapist? personal trainer? She's American and so I'm not quite sure but she sounded well qualified and knowledgeable) discuss running injuries and how to prevent and treat them. Food for thought.

I’d like some advice on running jackets please. I hate running in the rain and always avoid it but with the weather we’ve been having I might never run again so it’s time to buy a running jacket. My problem is at they vary massively and I don’t want to spend a fortune.
