Youri McAnespie Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 It might be your hip btw. Get on the chewable calcium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not in Crawley Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) It’s not as though you have to be Arnie with the weights, it’s more about strength- and you don’t want to be carrying loads of bulk for running. Things I do every other day to help (and I say I still have to manage it) - weighted squats - balance on the edge of a step and raise yourself up on tiptoes and down - lift one leg up behind the other and squat using the standing leg - lie on your back and do leg lifts No gym membership required! Oh forgot - buy a foam roller. Edited January 30, 2018 by Not in Crawley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not in Crawley Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Aye, could be your hip - I went to the doc and got free physio sessions that helped me. As youri says, it’s worse at speed so hill inclines at a slower pace will build those muscles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whites man Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 1. Get a proper medical opinion, not from Dr Google, folk off here or at the gym. 2. Inclines increase the load on the muscle/fascia/ligament etc so could worsen the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not in Crawley Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Very true. Although my physio and doc visits were all pretty practical stuff. And for free on the NHS which I could believe, thought I’d have to pay but they got me right for my first long distance race. I know it’s been a massive benefit to my knee - cutting mileage and increasing inclines. Also I underestimated the importance of a proper warm up. As White’s says - get a medical opinion so you know if it’s hip, gait, knee, tendons, mixture... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarian1979 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Putting more weight on it now walking about. Worst part is when sat at desk and then get up. Sharp Shooting pain and hard to get up but once walking not as bad as was (this Morning was struggling to put weight on it). Gonna go slower when it stops hurting for now.

Leyther_Matt Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Just attempted to go for a run for the first time in I don’t know when. Managed all of 12 minutes before I was back home bored as fuck. Decided it’s not for me as I can quite happily sit on my exercise bike (as I am now in fact) doing a relatively decent pace for 40-50 minutes while sat on my arse messing about on my phone.

Are you a kid with ADHD who has been on the Haribo all afternoon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyther_Matt Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 12 minutes running and you are bored? Are you a kid with ADHD who has been on the Haribo all afternoon?I can go out walking for hours without a problem. Maybe need to give it another couple of attempts when it isn’t freezing and take some headphones and that or at least run alongside someone else to keep me going.

Not in Crawley Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 This is the final straw! Ha ha ha! I’ve pissed you off numerous times over the years, but I think I might be achieving maximum irritation. Still coming to my 40th though? It’s a running party.

gonzo Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Had my first beer on Friday since Jan 1. Tasted shit. Spent all weekend topping up and being hungover and I'm gonna feel diabolical tomorrow. I just haven't got the mental capacity to deal with binge drinking.

ex_midlandwhite Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Did the relatively new Sale Water parkrun this morning. Muddy in parts but flat and could be a quick one I think. Really enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Did the relatively new Sale Water parkrun this morning. Muddy in parts but flat and could be a quick one I think. Really enjoyed it. Run around there now and then, good to see they've got a Park Run.... might entertain it sometime soon, nearest one to me I think. Did a 13km run yesterday. Was all good until about the last 3km - wind really got up, was exposed to the elements. It was 2 steps forward, 1 step back - that strong! Then I was side onto it for about half a mile - FML, thought I was either going into the road or the field next to me, think I was running diagonally at one point! Sore today. Not for me this running malarkey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Running just causes me too much pain. Just had 5 days in Prague with the wife and we walked over 60km whilst there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love walking on city breaks like that. So much to see - often dig out the places you'd never find otherwise. Saves you a few bob in taxis and good for your health!! Winner-winner.

Site Supporter MickyD Posted February 14, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted February 14, 2018 We did that on our recent visit to London. Avoiding the usual tourist hot spots was a good choice and you end up stumbling upon some gems of pubs and shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_spencer Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 We did that on our recent visit to London. Avoiding the usual tourist hot spots was a good choice and you end up stumbling upon some gems of pubs and shops. With the missus being disabled we found it was easier to use the bus to get around central london than the tube, we saw so much more of the city than we had in the past and we spotted places we wanted to go to en-route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
