It's a stupid question.
No reason not to run with a headache. I've taken headache tablets just before I go out for a run.0 -

I don't stretch before a run either. There are stretches you can do pre-running but because I don't do them, I wouldn't like to recommend them. My approach is - whatever the run - to start and finish with baby steps/shuffle-jog running. I went for a run with my brother yesterday. He joked that he was worried he wouldn't be able to keep pace with me (he had a hangover) but laughed his head off as he strode along beside me as I shuffled gradually into my jog pace
Ososlo does AIS stretching and a lunge matrix routine before running. Perhaps she would like to jump in here?
Fwiw, I think at this stage you could start to keep the walking part of your warm up separate; ex, walk briskly for 400-800m, and then start the run proper (still with baby steps). That, for me would adequately replace stretching pre-run.0 -
Did they not say??? You've a lifetime ban over there nowPlease don't send me over to the dark side on the tri boards... Who knows what they'll say
:D
Sorry to hear this Neil. Were you tense by any chance? Anticipating any sort of ache etc can cause you to tense up, or do you think it was something else?neilthefunkeone wrote: »So not a great run last night.. got to 6 miles and could feel my hamstring begin to tighten so immediately called a to that one.. The LSR thursday is out the window now.. maybe just a short one..
So that will be 3 Weeks LSR's missed.. When is the time to decide if i plow ahead? This is wrecking my head!!
No such thing a stupid question hereThis Fat Girl Runs wrote: »Woke with pounding headache. If take painkillers now will they affect run tonight? If stupid question pls don't blast me. Have had enough. I should have clarified...if anyone of you use painkillers to mask an injury or niggle, then there will be trouble :mad: As UM says, they may give you some stomach discomfort. Paula Radcliffe reckons her course of anti-inflammatories prior to the Olympics in Athens was one of the factors which caused her to drop out of the marathon.... 
Not a stupid question....some here take painkillers during runs...some may give u stomach problems though..
Best of luck and take it easy at first, firstly reminding your legs how to run and, secondly, allowing your foot to adjust to the new space in your shoeHad my visit with the physio last night with my dodgy foot and got the all clear.
I've got quite flat feet that he thinks may be contributing to my problems and he has ordered orthotics for me, hopefully to be delivered today or tomorrow, so I just have to do some easy runs on them to get used to the feel of them.
We also went through some stretching exercises that will also help prevent reoccurrence.
A week lost, but fingers crossed I can get back on track now. 0 -

I had this recently, brought someone who doesn't really run much out on an 8 mile tempo run with me. We parked the car and started to run, as I shuffled at the beginning they came to a walk beside me. I told them "walk if you want" they decided to run with me but after 3 miles they were struggling, half a mile more and I looked back and they were walking, so I jogged back, handed them the key and told them I'd see them back at the car and on they walked. I took a detour to add 2 miles more on and got back to the car at the same time as them. Oh how I laughed.

This Fat Girl Runs wrote: »I was chatting with a fellow runner at work this morning about changing my routine and starting my evening run straight from work.
He thinks that because I'm losing out on my 1 mile walk home, I should now stretch before my run i.e running after sitting at my desk all day isn't as good as running after having walked home. Sure I move around at work, walk up and down stairs etc but it's not the same. (Normally I'd walk home (1m), get into my gear then go straight back out for my warm up mile and then run).
He says he injured himself this way previously, running after sitting at work all day.
I know there's a difference of opinion on whether or not it's good to stretch on cold muscles. What do you guys think? I would have a 1 mile warm up walk during my run anyway (normally in addition to my 1 mile walk home).
tl;dr changing running routine tonight, losing a 1 mile walk; to stretch or not to stretch??I don't stretch before a run either.

just to say, I often run at lunchtime and have a desk job, when I run from home I have time to do AIS & lunge matrix that I got from ososlo along with drills and dynamic stretches, but from work I don't have that opportunity so I make sure to walk around as much as possible in the 30 mins before the run, up and down the stairs and do some dynamic stretches (some quick hip circles and leg swings will do) and take the first mile slowly until you ease into the run. Hope that helps 0 -

Hmmm... I know my maths is crap but something's not adding up here?Deleted User wrote: »My run tonight started out hard, I really struggled for the first 20 minutes, I had to stop at one point to stretch my calves. My plan said 50-60 minutes easy so I decided to just get to 25 minutes and turn around and go home. Decided I wouldn't be able for my hill sprints so just get the miles in and that be that.
Honest to god I saw this, a sign, literally :pac:
I stopped to take the pic and had a little smile and for some reason it all got easy from that point on.
1 hr 19 minutes + 6 hill sprints done
:pac:
On a serious note, have you tried the hill over Stonebridge for your sprints? Perfect distance and gradient let me know when you're down for them again and I'll join you for them if I can.
Hi SD, as long as you have close to a three week taper, that's fine. What will you do in between the 20 and 22 miler, 18? No harm doing a midweek mlr of up to 12 miles but don't jump into that. What is your current midweek longest run?Sunny Disposition wrote: »Thanks for the feedback Dubgal, know I need to slow up, will make a big effort not to go quicker than 9:30 tomorrow, actually find 8:24 pace a little frustrating, but obviously it's the way to go.
Had planned to do a long run of 16 miles Friday, 18 the week after, 20 on Sept 18/19 and two weeks later to do the longest run of 22 miles. Do you think I should be doing supplementary long runs?
Tasty. Well done!4 miles pace run this morning, not sure why let this one get

Hmmm indeed. Well. I ran for 60 minutes to my hill, did my sprints (I do jog back recovery as opposed to standing still for a couple of minutes), and then jogged home from there.On a serious note, have you tried the hill over Stonebridge for your sprints? Perfect distance and gradient let me know when you're down for them again and I'll join you for them if I can.
Is that the road up past rathmichael school? I never even thought of there :rolleyes:0 -

IIRC, Ososlo also does the myrtl routine a couple of times a week. I do it + a lunge matrix before every run - I think that the myrtl routine is particularly useful if you're sitting down for most of the day. If my hips are particularly stuck I may also do the Thomas test but it's better to do that afterwards.0 -
