Running

I just finished C25K, Week 5, Day 3 last week. During the run, I had a very slight knee pain that I was able to push through without any problems. After the run, I had a slight ache on the bottom left part of my knee only the left leg whenever I was walking. When I tried running or squats, it hurts more than walking. I t

Now I skipped strength training and running two times of this week. I train at Tu/Th/Sat and I already skipped the first two due to the pain. Should I run on Saturday when the pain goes off or should I run next week? Maybe I should rest for longer? I'm planning to get fitted for running shoes next week.

Other details:

• I started in the middle of March
• Running Program: C25K
• Strength training: r/bodyweightfitness Reccomended Routine
• Repeated the first 3 weeks of C25k and also skipped the 3rd day on the first 3 weeks.
• Normal BMI
• I run in worn out knockoff nikes.
• I run in a soccer field or pavement depending on availability. No trails around here.
• Cadence is 150 according to Nike Run Club (app) but I haven't counted it yet
• Pace is 12 minutes/mile or 8 minutes/km. In hours, 5mph or 7.5kph

TL;DR, they may help with recovery, but not so much with run performance.

I just started running this year and I have to blow my nose every 2-3 miles when I run. Does everyone do this? Will it ever end?

So who is illegal around here? 😝

I had fun ranting and hearing your rants, perhaps we can keep this going

Inspired by a podcast of the same name (running is BS) that loves to hate running. This week particularly hate running because..

What I thought was an ache turned out to be an injury.

Early Jan, pushed a bit hard on the tempo runs (4:50min/km pace), my comfortable pace is (5:45/km). Felt a niggle in my inner groin immediately, but wished it away (it didn't go away)

Continued training, limping on one side, telling my partner it was nothing when it obviously was.

Come early march, half marathon I was training for. Woke up, acknowledged maybe it was an injury, promised my partner I'd take it easy.

Broke my promise at gun start, pushed on for first 5km, another 5km, another 5km and the final 6km at target pace.

Made it with a PB!

In return, left knee is swollen, left back is aching like never before.

And fine, now I acknowledge it's a injury and am gonna rest with the running for a few weeks.

Running is not actually Bs. It's idiotic runners like me that make it BS

Hi, I hurt my left hamstring while running in the winter due to not warming up properly and likely not stretching the hamstring enough. It feels much better now, though, and I have tried running on occasion. However, running noticeably makes it feel sore, and if I were to keep running, I think I would injure it again, so I have assumed I should continue resting it. Is this true- is the best I can do now to take up another sport (biking has been fine), wait, and continue only when it does not feel sore after a trial run?

I haven't found another sport I enjoy as much as running, and I haven't seen a physical therapist for this yet because I really did not enjoy seeing one for a different issue in the past.

Spring time in upon the northern hemisphere, but that brings about the freaking hoard of hovering flies 🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰 at mouth level for easy ingestion.

Whether it is parks, trails, by water bodies, I can't seem to get away from them and always end up eating a mouthful of tiny flies, or at least up in my nostrils.

The worst was when I held my breath over a few steps thinking I made it through a patch, and gasping my way into another horde and engulfing a mother road after. UGH.

So I've been running like a mile each day for 3 days out of the week. But I've laid it off since I've been getting a lot of plantar fascitis, knee pain, and pain around my shins.

I'm not even that old. I'm very confused, maybe there are some exercises I can do? Went to a running shoe store and they recommended me some more cushioning shoes like a glycerin gts 22.

Any tips, recommendations, comments, or suggestions would be appreciated.

I arrived in Wellington yesterday, and at parkrun I discovered Round the Bays is on on the next day (now today). So I signed up for my first ever international race, with zero prep. It starts in 90 minutes. What could go wrong? :p
