      @goosehd thanks for the link, I’ve been following along and the thread is inspirational for sure.
      I do orange theory workouts a few times a week these days. my running has improved dramatically and that piece of the workout has become my favorite.

      We were talking this past weekend about maybe doing a 5k, I’ve done them before years ago but doing a proper training will be key this time around.

          Haven’t picked one yet, but it will be a local one. There is one they run in October that’s close to me that looks promising. I’ll sign up after I get halfway through the training program and see how my body is reacting.

            Didn't you run with a club in the past @Jcaz6996 ? I agree with @goosehd that free online plans are usually enough to work out a routine, and the only thing I would add is that running socially with friends and family makes the activity more enjoyable.

              I struggle with the "getting out on the road" part of running so much more than the actual activity itself. Once I'm 10 mins in and warmed up, I really enjoy it. The challenge is getting started

                  Agee mate it’s definitely easier now the evenings are lighter, can’t see myself sticking to it when the nights draw in. Tough as it is with a 4.30am Alarm and home @7.00pm .

                  But when you get out do you generally have a route you run ?

                  Maybe @AdamC Can share his weekly training ? with a park run PB only a few weeks back 😉

                    @Nik yes bud a good 10 years ago now.
                    I haven’t got the time to arrange meet ups with runs etc with the hours I work I literally fit it in when I can ..

                    I’ve pretty much always trained on my own apart from back in the day a Tuesday speed session with the team and a long run on a Sunday.

                      Did 6 x 1km intervals with 45 secs rest on Wednesday PM, which felt good.

                      Got up to do a 5km this morning along the seafront, did half and called it off, calves were having none of it. We go again 😂

                          First injury this week (in a very long time): I've been increasing my step cadence and stride length...Knee feels like crap and have had to take the last two days off. Doing the rotation of compression, ice, heat, elevation, and NSAID's. Everything was feeling great until it wasn't.

                          Probably taking the rest of the week off and reevaluate at the start of next week.

                              @goosehd maybe if it’s not broke don’t fix it , I personally wouldn’t worry about cadence.
                              Chopping your stride to forefoot strike maybe .
                              I used to heal strike until I got told .

                                @goosehd hopefully it’s just a niggle and a bit of rest will sort you out 👍

                                    South Downs Way 100 mile ultramarathon yesterday
                                    17 hours 44 minutes
                                    18th
                                    My wife Clara and my friends Dave and Jon crewed for Doug and I. Such a special day filled with ups and downs. Huge to hit the goal of 18 hours and most of all to have the support of crew. Couldn’t have done it without them.
