catmag 336 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Meant to do week 2 run 2 today but have what feels like a trapped nerve inbetween my shoulder blades. Had a particularly heavy night at work on Friday and it felt as though I'd pulled a muscle. Today every breath in is agony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 How are you running folk getting on with the Couch to 5K? Just thinking of giving it a blast myself that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 It's dead easy, just do it by yourself. I ended up agreeing to do it with our lass and there's always an excuse. It's extremely easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19808 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 5k is fuck all. even if you're an unfit, lazy slob, you can gradualy build up to that sort of distance in a few short weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14031 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Hey, can anyone recommend a programme for helping me do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14031 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 #Banter aside, Tooj, get on it, it's good. The one thing I'll say is try to do your running outdoors rather than on a treadmill if at all possible. The former is definitely a bit tougher on the legs, but I mainly did the latter due to a combination of Public Manboob Exposure Paranoia and not wanting to run around with headphones after dark - which should be less of an issue at this time of year. Anyway, I'd forgotten from past bouts of temporary fitness that it's definitely an extra step up to run on tarmac rather than a nice friendly moving treadmill. Did my first non-gym 5k of this "phase" earlier in the week and it was hard work, but it happened. Probably going to hit the local Parkrun on Saturday and see how much of a killer that is (the route is v. hilly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFaul 35 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 15st8 at the minute which is a good stone over my fighting weight. Been drinking like an alcoholic lately, and I'm only half exaggerating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 26768 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Is Start Fitness the best place in town to get a gait analysis done? I had bother around my knee and was recommended to go there. I was sold an expensive pair of trainers and told about my gait when running etc. Still kept getting the pain till I saw a physio who nailed the problem and gave me certain stretches to do. Never had trouble since. Make of that what you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14031 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Just did my first Parkrun. Some of the hills were a right pain in the arse - the local park is called Hilly Fields, so I suppose that should have been a clue - but it was generally all right. Decent bit of camaraderie certainly helps to spur you on even when you're feeling like a sweaty wreck of a human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34413 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Nice one Meenzer, I always intended to go on the Newcastle one, but still haven't. Just in from 41 miles out on the bike. What a day, it's fucking scorchio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34413 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I'd take that. I felt more like Chris Froome's ganglier, dorkier but fatter brother. Best description I've ever heard of Froome's cycling style is that he looks like a granny pushing a shopping trolley up a hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
