Re: The running thread.
With my dodgy ankle, I've been very reticent to run in groups as I don't want to have to bail in the middle of nowhere, but I got out today on an 8 mile run with the club. A beautiful day, and a...

Re: The running thread.
If you have your cadence logged, see if it matches - with optical heart rate monitors, they're looking for tiny changes in colour as blood flows which can be overloaded by the bigger signal of you...

Re: The running thread.
If I lived in Wales, Id never run anything other than trails ;-) I try and mix it up, and not do too many miles on tarmac, but sometimes I just need to get to the trail.
We actually live right by...

Re: The running thread.
Thanks. I've tried taping it up and using compression supports in the past, which have helped, but never really got on with them, and I don't really believe in long-term. (Apart from the current...

Re: The running thread.
I've had a long-term problem with my ankle - for the last five years or so. Last year, I "officially retired" from running, meaning that I haven't booked into any races and set no targets for...

Re: The running thread.
I love my Lone Peaks, although the lugs are quite worn down now so not as grippy as they used to be. I've been self-isolating since Boxing Day, so no running for me.

Re: The running thread.
Thanks.
I'm not entirely sure. I visited my mother with my brother and his family - there was some apple tree climbing and football somewhere along the line which could have caused it, but it just...

Good work. I managed to get out yesterday for a quick run after over a week off due to a shoulder injury (causing much pain and sleeplessness) ... and I fell, so now have more injuries to add to the...

Re: The running thread.
Not great, I'm not nearly as lucky as Gary, but it's still pretty good here. If you've not seen it, the Strava Global Heatmap is a great way of finding new routes.

Re: The running thread.
No idea - this one is a private club who have signs up to say that anyone can use it. You could try ringing them and asking.

Re: The running thread.
Thanks - the bluebells were from the golf course, which is normally out of bounds. I know there are endless downsides to the situation we're living in, but it's nice to find a few positives.

Re: The running thread.
It does look fabulous - it'd be lovely to get out more here, but there are so many people out exercising, it's getting a bit too crowded.

Re: The running thread.
I know you've just bought some shoes, but Altras are good for wide feet, particularly in the toe box.

They're zero-drop though, which doesn't suit everyone. I...

It's so good to get a diagnosis - I've had ankle problems for four or five years now, and no one I've seen have been able to pinpoint the problem. I think I know where my weakness is now, but I need...

I've not posted here in a while because I've hardly been running due to ankle and knee problems. So, I was woefully underprepared for the 30 mile race yesterday.
A really pretty course, but due to...

Re: The running thread.
Thanks. You're right, but it's like dominos at the moment. If I miss one, the next would be missed too, etc. I'm just going to take things as they come.
