I'm so glad there was no Brighton half today. Did some of the route. Too hot to begin with and then it was too windy and wet.

Have you Jusr started running? I found that the more my body got used to it, I was okay. Found also running first thing in the morning helped too.

Hello runners Just went for my first run in about 2 and a half years. Started couch to 5k and feel surprisingly okay afterwards (obv week 1 is a lot of walking so that helps ). Excited to be running again!

Half marathon training starts today!

I’ve paid a local running coach for a plan as I couldn’t find one that did 12 weeks, 3 runs a week without ridiculous mileage.

anyone else training for a half?

I’ve just finished training for one (and done the half!) really enjoyed the training but found some of the long runs on a weekend so time consuming

Haven't been on this thread in a long time but I'm determined to start running again! Did couch 2 5k last summer, and built up to running 10ks most weekends in early 2021, but just tailed off in April/May then stopped running completely. Today I am going to start couch to 5k from week 3- wish me luck!

Hi runners! New to the thread

Just got properly back into couch to 5k I’m on the third week - but I keep getting terrible pains in my shins and knees after I finish. I know I need to warm up and stretch properly which I have been doing, also my trainers are new and supportive. Think it’s because I’ve not run for a while and my legs aren’t used to it.
But my aim is to be back to running 5k regularly by the end of the year

I just ran 10k yesterday, first such a long run after three years of battling my ED. Now I am at a healthy weight and can do sports again. Hoping to do a second marathon next year, did my first in 2018.

Has anyone ever experience throbbing pain at night in one knee?

I went for a run yesterday at lunch break. All fine, nothing special happened. I was able to walk normally afterwards, no pain or anything. Then suddenly, in the middle of the night, I get this throbbing sharp pain in my left knee that woke me up. It lasted all night and as I tried to get out of bed, I almost fell because my entire leg was weak and painful. I couldn't walk at all. Thankfully, I took two Nuforens and it went back to normal.

Is it safe to go for a run again tomorrow? Or should I see a physio?

Hi, not been on this thread for a while.
Did coach to 5k, and was running 5k a couple of times a week. It took me a long time to get to 5k, about 8 months not 8 weeks. So keep going.

Now have plantar fasciitis as I was not stretching, so just be careful
