I often wonder why so many runners become consumed with distance. There's a near epidemic of people who have taken up running and their great aim is to run a marathon. I do some running but keep to less than 10k and try to improve the times. Unless you are a proper athlete, doing serious training and strectching, a marathon will damage your body and cause you to become slower.
My aim this summer is to run a 5k in under 20 minutes. Anyway, each to their own I guess, |

Completed the 23km triathlon I was (sort of) training for in last few weeks in 1 hour 26 minutes which I'm happy with for a first attempt. Nailed the running sections, keeping my 22 minute 5k time average. There was another 2k after a kayak section and that was tough going but once I got myself into a rhythm it wasn't bad at all.

Shin splints are the work of the devil. I had them or 2 years and had to rest for that time. Just try do less and stop before you feel the pain.
Run on soft grass or sand. Get proper runners. Get Gait Analysis in Elvery's - I think it's free. Strengthen your calm muscles using a towell - google the exercises. Stretch your calf muscles every day for long periods - 60 seconds and then do some strengthen exercises too. The key is manage shin splints by not over doing it. |

Don't bother with the runners on the beach if the sand is soft. |

Beach sounds like a plan actually, didn't think of that!

Stay off the roads, paths and hard surfaces. Go jogging on grass or even on the beach and you won't suffer from shin splints plus it's better for your joints.

Right, I have managed to give up beer and put on weight. My diet has probably deteriorated a bit. Anyway, started running a bit but when I did it before I got shin splints. Have tried to remedy this by getting a proper pair of runners, I assume cheapo options may have been my problem. Any other advice? Not just on shin splints but on taking it up? Just doing it to help clear my head, lose a few pounds and get a bit fitter, not run a marathon!

Don't know if this is the right place to put this story but was in the pub with a mate who does a lot of running, marathons etc. Local knob comes over trying to start a conversation "I see you are doing a lot of running Gareth"- Gareth "yeah, away from the likes of you".

Downloaded the C25K app the other day and went out for my first run today (mainly walking to be fair with 1 minute jogs in between). Haven't done much running in years but need to get into it as I had a health check this morning and my weight was pretty shocking.
So 8 weeks for now I should be running 5k pretty handy if this app is any good. |

I used to love running up until recently and had done a 10k. It was great to get out in the park with a good podcast in your ears. Constant shin splints has put paid to it though

I've run one sub 20 minute 5K. And nearly coughed up a lung. I came to the realisation that I'll never run a sub 40min 10K so gave up. I'll do 2 or 3 10ks a week to keep ticking over. For anyone into running at any level I would highly recommend reading Born to run or Eat and run. Eat and Run being my favourite. That fella was a machine!! |

I started using those decompression socks recently and now the aches in my shins have subsided enough to allow me to run again....anyone with muscle aches in their lower legs should try them.
not sure about feet though ....Althoug I can say that if you are running any distance at all ....don't go cheap on the runnrs...get your stride analysed and ensure you buy the proper foot wear. They can save you knees etc too. A proper strectch out both before and after running cannot be underestimated either. |

Jaysus Trig that's an unbelievable time! Well done on the weight loss, have lost 10 pounds since March basically all down to running, haven't changed my diet at all really.
Did you ever suffer from any foot pains starting out? Awful metatarsal pains in my right foot the past couple of weeks that I'm trying to sort out cos it's doing my head in. |
