Half marathon training

Had a run tonight, first time in 2 weeks. Not as bad as I thought and I soon warmed up, brrrr out there! Only did 2.5-3 miles but better than nothing!

I don't know what just happened..... 4.5 miles in just under an hour, ok it's slow and probably a good 15 mins if warm up and cool down walking but I'm thrilled!

My old trainers are my new best friend!

slow and steady is always better than too fast :)
 
Still a bit sore from tues run, it's definitely my knees so I've booked in to my local health place where they do pretty much anything from corns to full on sports medicine thingy bobs! Got an appoint to see the osteopath first coupled up with the joints specialist to see how I run/ walk etc.
going to get a refund on the shoes and that will pay for that session.
Think I might just walk longer tonight with a little light jogs in between.
 
Lucy: That's probably the best thing to do. The specialist will soon find out what is causing the problem. That's good that you haven't lost any money on the trainers.

Jenny: well done, must admit my runs have been on the treadmill since it turned cold...!!!
 
Quite looking forward to it really, trainers were 65 and for an hour session is 40 so I think I might buy some running shorts/trousers as I feel bad asking for a full refund!

i was going to do mine on the treadmill with it being cold and dark when i finish work, but when i was in the gym trying to use the treadmill it just didnt feel natural or comfortable :(
bought winter running clothes, high vis vests and tops.... running on the street was so much better. even run on roads with cars on at weekends now :D scary when theres traffic coming my way but i like it!
 
A few twinges but I slowed down when needed, another 3.5 tonight, slow pace in just over 47mins but I really aren't bothered with speed, perhaps that'll come n time.

well done! speeds not everything, its doing it thats important afterall.

i hope i can speed up my half time, not for me but for my brother. were doing the same one in feb and i dont want him to waiting around for me too long. its very unrealistic trying to do his timing, he can do it in 2hrs

Do what's comfortable to you, but saying that I think you do need to push yourself to know your capabilities sometimes!
So, I'm pretty sore today, my knees are sore and I have a little muscle ache, nothing major. Tonight is rest night and I happen to be very busy tomorrow so in going to have another rest day and get back to it sun, hopefully the extra day will help.
Really looking forward to next fri and my consultation!
 
i am capable of doing 8mins 53secss a mile, but its hard to keep that pace up yet
