I'd love to start running again, but only way I could do it without being in agony was a threadmill and hate the gym. Any time i'd go outdoors I run weird lop-sided and come home all hurt. heard this one http://www.catherinamckiernan.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabindex=3&tabid=881 and sounds good anyone tried it?

I don't run, but walk real fast every day and occasionally break into a trot when going up steps or down hills. I am in desperate need of new runners so thought I'd ask around these parts. Is it Asics Gel FTW?

See my post on a previous recent page
Nike Waffles. €55 in Schuh or whatever those regular shoe shops are called. Office. Is that it?
3 marathons. Two thumbs up from me.

Anyone else here planning on running the marathon on Monday?

I'm gonna give it my best shot but have no idea how I'll get on.

 

[pete]

now you're just making me feel bad

I've been unwell for about 3 weeks and haven't run in that time. On top of being sick this makes me feel really shit. At least whatever I have that's wrong with me is making me eat one meal fewer a day.

Yeah, I hear yah. I had shingles and have a recurring strain on one of my legs, I'd be well sorted for the run if it wasn't for that.

I've been missing a lot of exercises last couple of weeks since moving house.Had a decent enough run today.Was a fair bit of walking involved mind you.

Gonna try get back into my routine now though.Every second day ftw.

 

[ernesto]

First year I'm not entered in 5 years. I feel like crying.
Anyway, you'll love it, it's fucking great craic and you'll feel like the King of the World when you cross the finish line.
My only advice is: don't stop, even if you feel completely fucked. Getting going again will be worse pain. And, stretch properly beforehand. Run a mile even first. Get in there in plenty of time and do it. Otherwise you'll likely get injured along the way. Running the last 15 miles while slowly tearing your groin asunder is not much fun, as I learned a few years ago.
Good luck!

Don't think I'd manage a marathon.

Did a duathlon recently and the distances there were enough for me. Great buzz to finish something like that though. Any kind of endurance event is so much about mental strength as much as fitness.

Good luck in the marathon!
