Just a general thread about running. How’s your running going? What are you training for? Did you get new shoes? Sporting an injury etc.
Had a really bad knee / IT band lately. Currently I am trying to improve my core muscles and do a lot of biking.
But I am missing running so much and have the feeling I lose so much of my progress right now.
2 months ago fell down the stairs and landed with all my weight onto my left large toe. figured it would’ve healed within a week, but here we are. missed my planned half, but there is always next year. Now its time to get back into a routine. Thankfully my work is hosting a step competition this month and i intend to run commute starting tomorrow!
I’d love to know more about how you run commute. Do you carry a bag and a change of clothes? Do you have shower facilities at the office? etc.
I got a Forerunner 265 during Garmin’s 100$ off sale. Waiting for my back to recover from getting tweaked to get back out running. Looking forward to all the new run features as well as daily fitness tracking.
I’m about two weeks away from the ultra I’ve been preparing for. I had a few setbacks (plantar fasciitis, a few days lost to a mystery virus), and while I feel physically fit, I worry that at some point during the hours of running I will start dwelling on my less than optimal preparation. I’m trying to remind myself that nobody ever has a perfect race and that I should just control what I can. I suppose I should start tapering around this point, but I also feel like I should maybe plan one last really long training run to help with my confidence. We’ll see if I can find the time this week.
good luck!
