So..... running - Page 16

Not as crap as me

I was aiming to finally start my jogging plan last week as the weather hadn't been too bad (translation: it wasn't torrential rain just a bit of drizzle), but instead slipped while out last Wednesday and cut my knee open and had a swollen knee ever since.
A good excuse really wasn't what I needed for my motivation

Do you have trainers designed for running in Sam? Just a thought as ones not designed for running won't have enough cushioning and may cause the pain you've mentioned.

I'm struggling with my running now. I'm increasing my weights on a Tuesday night which means my legs have had it for running on the Wednesday. Guess I'll just have to strike a balance somewhere.

Good work Kate

8km is a target I'm yet to reach.

Thank you

I did it purely by accident. I do feel a bit achy now though. Even my arms hurt. I'm supposed to be going again tomorrow, so hopefully I'll be alright!

I just have my normal trainers - I can't afford anything more.

Wow Kate .. that's brilliant !

Sam, you're doing well ! ... I'll bring my trainers to CP if you like to see if it makes a difference ? ( they're a size 5 )

My running has gone a bit poop recently, I'm still doing my 5K on a Saturday morning but I'm not a natural runner .. I R A BOXER !!

Wow! Thats brilliant Kate!!! You must be chuffed also to hit 8km... by accident is usually how I did it too lol

the best way!

My gym is hot and sweaty so haven't been for a while... it is disgusting... you walk in there and cannot breathe.

Going to try going back to the runs after work next week... had a bit of a crap week this week, run down, totm and doc app tomoro :/

Things can only get better!

They must be massive on you

Nice one Kate! It's a shock when you hit 10k as it really doesn't feel any different! Just keep going!

lostkat · 29-08-2008, 18:00

OMFG it wasn't a fluke, I ruddy well did it again

Feel like I could have potentially possibly maybe run further too, but wasn't quite ready for another circuit around the lake, hehe

I'm still unbelievably impressed with myself though. I used to struggle to keep going for 10 mins without having a rest

Oh and I've just had a look on mapmyrun.com and it is 7km, not 8km. I didn't think it seemed that far. I could definitely comfortably do 8km though. Just need to find somewhere else flat where I can run further

Yay!!
