I went to a specialist running shop and found that I’d been wearing the wrong size running shoes for years! You don’t get that expertise by mail order!

I enjoy my running first and foremost and everything comes from that. I don’t agree with ‘no pain, no gain’. I find positives in each and every run, my running goals are aspirations not straitjackets and I’m part of a few online groups that run, post and encourage.

Two black toe nails - seems pretty normal. Actually, my feet have improved since starting to wear toe socks a few months ago.

Injuries suck! Resting up sucks too but I see it (reluctantly) as as investment in future running. Hope you recover soon.

On the ITB rehabilitation schedule was a 30 minute 3min/1min run/walk.Followed the James Dunne stretches beforehand. No pain/twinges until 2 miles, but then only 2/10 pain. Good to be out even in rain. Stretches day tomorrow

Common sense for an injured runner really sucks! Hope you recover quickly 👍

Oh no! I’m trying to rehabilitate my ITB. ChatGPT designed a schedule of run/walk/run days and stretching days to come back slowly. As indisciplined as I am I’m still following the program 😬. 2 mins running and 1 min walking this morning, for 30 minutes.

Pre-ordered on Audible to enjoy on my morning runs. Available on 6th November - can’t wait 👍.

Well done 👏👏👏👏. Parkrun volunteers are the best 👍

Agreed, nothing does what running does. I tried cycling when laid off with plantar fasciitis - is just wasn’t the same. Hope your recovery goes well and keep posting so we can encourage you 👍

Great to be out early on a disciplined run/walk to rehabilitate my ITB. Loved the transformation of the park from darkness to light and enjoyed my audiobook (suspicious death in Norfolk 😬). No ITB pain but taking it easy

James Dunne has just posted these exercises. After having knee & ITB problems resulting from weak glutes I’m going to give them a go!

I’m so close to my running goal - still achievable if I get back to running in a week or so 🤞.

Either we afford to work on children’s special needs now or we’ll be paying the cost long after they’ve left school - in benefits and lost tax revenues.

We all come with our own back story. I’d rather see posts from those who run, enjoy and encourage than posts about egos, time and distance. We’re all runners and therefore extraordinary

This book was worth a listen on my trail runs. And replace the head of state with who? I think the Irish people have made some wise choices recently.

James Dunne ITB exercises on YouTube are very good. In fact all his videos are excellent

Now on a 3 wk program for ITB rehab. Mixing up run/walk with strengthening days. Probably all comes from my weak glutes, a recurring problem. Need just as much discipline to come back slowly as to run my normal 6 days/wk.

It’s not often I’m sensible about running but I’ve taken a rare day off due to injury, a sore ITB. I’ve a dilemma whether to have a physio appt or, more likely, get on with the ITB exercises that are commonly prescribed.
