I also have a few pairs of 1000 miles socks and find them excellent

paid more that €10 bucks for a pair though, so will be checking out M&M direct soon

Used to pay quite a bit in Elverys and even on Amazon , then found them on MandM a year or so ago. They have the anklets /double layered and another type, really good value for sure!

There’s a page on Instagram called ‘together apart we run’. 12 week training plan covering 5k, 10k, 10mile, half and full. Starting week 2 today with a virtual race on 25th July. Page is run by Rozanna and Rachel Purcell and plans by John O Regan. All free and this is the 3rd virtual race iirc as other were such a success. All free too which is a bonus.

On a side note I must try 100mile socks now I’m venturing outside the 5km and pushing for 10km puls all going well.

Week 1 day 4 of 10km plan above was easy 30mins. I rang what I thought was easy (7mins/km) for first km but actually 6:08, so ‘slowed’ for the 2nd km 6.10 and feeling great so said feck it and went for it to try get a PB. Ended up running 5km in 30mins 2.5mins quicker than my previous best!! Was funnier is for last 3/4 weeks I’ve only been doing 3km or so max at as easy pace to all the advice here is correct run slower to run faster!! The mind boggles.

I use Steigen and find them great for comfort and reducing/nullifying blisters in longs runs.

Used to harden my feet with meths/surgical spirit as I thought it would help avoid blisters. Eventually found I was getting blisters under and at the edges of the hard skin. 1000mile socks helped a little.

Now I file down any hard skin and keep feet supple with moisturiser (Aldi cracked heel cream). I just wear normal Aldi/Lidl running socks up to marathon, Injini toe socks for longer to stop inter toe rubbing. No blisters after recent 24hr/100mile runs.

Wear socks that are snug, if they are slightly oversized then they can bunch up and cause hot spots.

Where were running shoes at, say, 30 years ago? How much science went into them?

Yep, I am using a big pack of sports direct socks and can't say they are totally snug that's why I want to try something different. Am going to try the vaseline route as well but I think these 1000mile socks and steigen are ones to try. I've always had a blisters, no issue running through the pain these days, the issue it causes is in the aftermath, can't train properly with the pain after it.

If anyone asks about running the day after a Pfizer jab my advice is dont! Go for a walk instead if you must. I had mine yesterday morning and felt grand this morning apart from a sore arm. So of course I went for a run and already felt tired about 100 meters in, by the time i was done I was utterly shattered (it was a normally easy 10k). So yeah, obviously, dont run the day after the vax is my advice doh!

Thanks was just about to ask the question - planning a virtual 5k next week to be done Between the 18th and the 22nd - just got a call from gp on getting jabbed on the 19th. So I’ll either do it Tuesday or the Saturday .

Sounds sensible, my tummy isnt the best now and I'm still utterly wrecked, not worth it. Second jab next month is going to be followed by a rest day.

Cartman78 · 12-05-2021 11:10am

Had my first Pfizer dose on Monday afternoon and had mentally pencilled in a couple of days rest.

But was feeling pretty much ok yesterday so popped out for a mid-paced 10K at lunchtime. Have the gear ready to go now again today :-)

I guess it will effect everybody differently pending on a gazillion factors...I'll be keeping an eye out for any side effects for sure and will be avoiding anything too taxing over the next few days

Yeah it's definitely specific to the individual. Buddy of mine did virtual marathon 12hrs after his Pfizer jab with no issues.

I would say exactly the opposite. Let your breathing come as it needs to.
You can practice taking big belly breaths when you’re not running as shallow breathing will cause you issues while running. There’s lots of videos on YouTube to describe the above

To be honest, I wouldn't just focus on belly breathing.
It is also important to breathe into to ribcage as this will help proper breathing mechanic's. This will help to keep better posture. When we breathe we should also try expand both laterally and upwards. This can be done as a breathing exercise to begin with and will then become natural.

Thats mad, I couldnt imagine doing that yesterday! Slept 12 hours last night (i'm normally a light sleeper and rarely get more than 6 so that was off the chart for me) and right as rain today, sore arm gone too. Amazing the varience between people.

I may have to travel to a country (not on red list) for essential reasons relating to work.

I’m trying to find out the rules on home quarantine (I’ve googled but no joy)

I know I can end after 5 days with a negative test but what does quarantine actually mean?

Am I not allowed leave the house at all, for example if I wanted to get a hours exercise (run)?

Thanks

I don't have Strava premium if that makes a difference.

You need to have a strava subscription to download the gpx file for an activity.

Do you know the person? (or are you just stalking?

)

If you know the person they could create a route of the activity using Garmin Connect, make that public and then share that link with you.
You then import that into Garmin Connect and can send it to your device.

(I'm assuming, of course, that their activity was recorded with a Garmin device)

I was at the physio a few weeks back as legs were tired/tight . He said I had tight calves and tight hamstrings but nothing seemed injured . At the time I told him I had what I thought was sciatica type pain when not running - he said wasn’t sciatica and was probably coming from the hamstring into the rest of the leg . Long story short I’m aching now when running . Having a break for a few days to see if will miraculously disappear . I still can’t figure out where the pain ( dull ache) is originating from - hip, butt or groin . No swelling , or redness . Anybody got any ideas ?

Ceepo is the go to man for these issues and he's usually if not always spot on with his advice. My guess is tight glute medius and/or piriformis. Some massage and soft tissue release would probably sort it out.

Consciously don't want to go against giving out medical advise on Boards.ie.

What if any work did the "physio" do to address your tight calves and hamstring, and did that help with the pain/sensation in your leg,?
How long after the physio session did you notice the pain when running.?

Just an update on this, found it very useful this week - skipped forward to week 4 which was 3 minute jog 90 second walk, 5 minute jog, 2 minute walk repeated twice. Feel like I'm running within myself which is better than overdoing it I think

My new running shoes also arrived which I think have made a difference also. Have paid more attention to stretching and used a massage gun early this week and finished off the last run this morning and legs feel completely fine.

@OffalyMedic - Ill check that page out too thank you

Try this

Make sure you have your Strava and Garmin accounts linked.

Get them to add you to the run on Strava, you don’t need a sub to add someone who didn’t record, think you just need to be their friend on Strava.

I know a Garmin activity automatically links to Strava but I’ve never tried the other way around..... if it doesn’t link automatically maybe you can force it.

Once the activity is on your Garmin account you can save it as a course.

Then you just upload the course to your watch

Hope it helps

Took your advice after my own close encounter with Mr Pfizer on Wed, was definitely a good idea as I fell asleep on the sofa after work on Thur. Felt grand today & got out for a easy run after work.

On the other hand a friend of mine who had the jab the same day felt very bad that night but was grand on Thur & went out to play a game of soccer that evening.

Also had jab on Wednesday - arm hurt like hell . Apart from that I was grand . Ran today - struggled with a tempo pace but that may not be jab related .

Thanks - physio massaged legs . He didn’t want to go too hard as I had substantial bruising on lower legs . Gave me stretches etc. The pain coming from butt/hip/ groin or whatever has come on gone over the years . I was doing stretches for piformis/sciatica which seemed to hep before but not helping now .

I knew there was something about the vaccine here but couldn't find it until now.

I had the first Pfizer jab last week and was really tired and had minor flu type aches and pains the day of it and day after. Went out on Saturday and it wasn't pleasant. Yesterday was a bit better.

I had my first Pfizer jab a week ago. My shoulder was sore for 2 days but that was it. Had no problems running the next day.

It's different for everyone. Don't force a run if you're feeling tired but at the same time don't feel like you have to rest just because someone else had to. Check how you're feeling and act accordingly.

Hannibal_Smith · 31-05-2021 10:18am

Absolutely. Everyone I know, including my elderly parents, has been fine after. No side effects at all other than tiredness and a sore shoulder.

Cartman78 · 31-05-2021 11:16am

I planned to loop back in if I had any reactions to the first jab but nothing to not (yet!).

I did notice a bit of tiredness and fatigue the week after but tbh that could easily have been my regular dopiness :-)

Second jab coming up on Friday....feel so relieved and grateful

I had the Jansen jab (so only one needed yay!) and had the exact same reaction as you, tired, flu like symptoms, aborted run etc. All grand now thankfully but apparently the fitter you are the worse the symptoms will be*

*one person told me this so it's obviously true!

Had the Jansen last week - next to zero reaction*.
Easy 5k same evening, 10k trail run next day, 30k trail run the day after.
Training as normal really. A bit tired and grumpy the on 2nd day, but that's not out of the ordinary as I'm on shifts.

YMMV

* maybe I'm not as fit as I thought??

Got the J&J jab last Monday week, wiped me out for a couple of days, I had amended my virtual Cork training plan to give me 2 days rest after I got it, but I had to abandon my 1st post jab run on the Thursday, the tank was completely empty. I've changed my route for Sunday as I'm not going to worry about completing the full Marathon distance in one go if I don't feel it.

On a side note, the body battery readings on my garmin watch were spot on and reflected just how ****e I felt for the couple of days after.

skyblue46 · 03-06-2021 8:28pm

Had the Janssen myself a couple of weeks ago. I have to say I felt absolutely no reaction whatsoever. HR was a handful of beats higher for a few days but there could be 101 reasons for that.

ariana` · 03-06-2021 9:32pm

I'd a sore arm after the Pfizer jabs. A bit tired the day after and elevated RHR but both could be attributed to not sleeping great with said sore arm.

Has anyone felt their fitness wane after the Pfizer vac? I had my second jab on Wednesday but ever since the first one my running has taken a serious nose dive . Tempo pace is feeling like race pace . My heart rate has dropped - resting heart rate from about 53 to 47 ( as low as 40 sone days )and when running my heart rate would suggest I could give kipchoge a run for his money - all the while it’s like running through treacle. ( like low iron ). I take iron supplements daily. I mentioned to doctor when getting second jab ( she’s a runner herself so didn’t think I was nuts) . She said I wasn’t the only one to have reported that issue and to come in for bloods in a few weeks if it was still happening . Has this happened to anyone else ? Running is a cruel hobby .

Not to dismiss how you are feeling but is there any chance it is coincidental as the weather has got warmer and the humidity has increased around the same time as you getting your vaccine? That's what I'm blaming for finding some runs a bit tough recently. It didn't cross my mind it might be vaccine related but it's a possibility. I got the 2nd jab about 2 weeks ago now. It's always good to get the bloods checked anyhow.

I’m a fair weather runner as a general rule - the warm weather doesn’t normally slow me down but with the old hormones all bets are off .

Hannibal_Smith · 19-06-2021 10:35am

I think I remember.a couple of runs after the first one feeling like that treacle way you describe it but it passed. Have the second one this week so fingers crossed it doesn't knock things out of whack. Had a pretty poor week last week... Can't afford another one!

A drop in your RHR like that could be thyroid related (underactive), the blood test will clarify if that's the case. Hopefully it's just the vaccine though and all will right itself soon!

I do have an under active thyroid and my hr hasn’t dropped that low since I was first diagnosed so that was my suspicion all right . Might need meds upped

I had covid and my HRV was reduced afterwards. Same has happened after my second Pfizer Jab. If you have a polar HR Strap or access to one download EliteHRV app and do the 5 minute test. You should come up with a figure of 55+ higher is better.

HRV is a recording of the variations between beats at rest. It is a very good indicator of the body/nervous system health. Low figures indicate it is stressed for whatever reason and needs to recover.

Cartman78 · 22-06-2021 12:35pm

Another Pfizer recipient here...got my 2nd jab earlier in the month.

Felt grand in the immediate aftermath but deffo not quite right now tbh.

As avid readers of my blog will know, I've been battling plantar fasciitis for the last couple of weeks and it's showing little or no sign of improvement. I probably overtrained slightly last month but not to the extent that would have me off the road for so long.

Maybe my age is starting to be a factor but I would have expected a noticeable uplift by now with all the stretching, icing and rest I've done.

Have been feeling gradually more zonked in general this week...tired and achey generally so hoping whatever it is sorts itself out fairly lively.

Supercell · 22-06-2021 4:43pm

Had my second Pfizer two weeks ago to the day here, the day after the first I was in bits running, for the second i took the next day off but still didn't feel 100% for about 8 or 9 days I'd say. All the same I got through a decent long run last weekend alive!
Probably a certain amount of psychological aspect there to be fair as I was nervous about the vaccines having read all the guff online about them.

Lazare · 23-06-2021 9:50pm

Has anyone done an INSCYD test?

Planning on doing one within the next couple of weeks, prinarily to get my LT HR number, wondering if anyone has any experience doing one.
