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…
I’m detrained and can’t seem to get off my arse. It’s probably a bit of depression? Would appreciate some help.
Me too! I’ll get enough motivation to force myself to do one workout, swearing I’m back to my routine, but 2 days later when I’m supposed to go again I’m like “I don’t wanna!”. I’ve lost muscle and gained fat in the last few months.
What’s going on, I love exercising!
Tomorrow morning I’m gonna run the Paris Marathon. But I have sciatic pain again… I already ran a semi with that it was manageable but on a Marathon? I don’t know.
Nobody’s gonna read this but I fucking did it!!
At least 9 people have read it and upvoted. Nice job on running a marathon!
Went for a fantastic 12km run earlier in the week and managed to talk one of my kids to come with me (they were on a bike). The time went by much quicker and as a bonus they’ve decided to do that some more!
Today I missed my weekly parkrun as I was up in the mountains. Tried to go for a run but it was raining and getting worse by the 3km mark so quit while I was ahead.
On holiday up in the mountains, so went for a 5km with the doggo off lead. First time we’ve done it and he was great, just ran about 10m in front of me the whole time. Dirt road, hilly, little section of trail… Was good. Hills a lot stepper than I’m used to though, so pretty sore today.
That sounds amazing! Everything outside is dusted in yellow pollen, so I’ve been treadmilling it with my cat supervising. How big is your dog? Does he normally run with you on leash?
This is him. He’s a golden retriever sized groodle x coolie. I live in the city, so he’s usually running next to me on one of those waist leashes. Can’t trust him not to race off after a cat/electric scooter etc.
Just did a local 8km race yesterday. tried to break 35min but ended up coming in at 35min 46 seconds. I blame the hills on the route… I’ll get it next year.
As soon as I saw the picture Running On Empty started playing in my mind. I can hear this picture.
