Running in Recovery in 2024

No, I use my running shoes. They are practical new and bought in a good store with advice.
I have an injury in my left popliteal for a few months now. Havent seen a doctor yet. But when running it hurts. I hoped by triggering it it would heal :face_with_peeking_eye:
I will look into some strenght workouts, thank you! :+1:

Getting ready for hiking season by trail running on steep trails. This one had 800 feet in about 1.4 miles. Then a couple miles of pure bushwhacking hell.

Nice hard run in the pouring rain. Cleanses the soul! Just a couple easy runs left before a half marathon this weekend. Can’t wait!

You gave me the boost I needed to also head out in the rain today :slight_smile: I had to remind myself - I’m not made of sugar and will not melt… haha

Once you accept the fact you will be soaked, it’s pretty great! As long as it’s not windy :laughing:

Good morning runners,

Todays the 5k. Im nervous but just going to do my best. The only goal is to finish. My achilles still isnt 100%. Taking the approach that this run/walk will be a baseline for me. Maybe i wont want to do another 5k who knows. Signing up for this was just motivation to keep focused on my weightloss/health journey.

Here we go…

Hi CJ.

I would only give one piece of advice which always helped me. Stretch beforehand and take the first two km slower than you want to. Then enjoy whatever pace you find suits you after your body is nice and warm.

Good luck!!

Did it! I did way better than i thought i would. The race atmosphere helped. Only slight achilles pain. Towards mile 2 it was more intervals than constant running. Proud of my results and a solid baseline
