Just a general thread about running. How’s your running going? What are you training for? Did you get new shoes? Sporting an injury etc.

    Woke up with a headache this morning, so getting out was a struggle. Glad I did though, as always. Managed 10km (53min), by not turning home just yet a couple of times. Doggo got into the rhythm too which helped.

        Yeah, pretty common. I’ve a lot of injuries from previous work as a climbing arborist, neck, back, shoulder etc. I have a great bed and pillow set up, but if I sleep slightly wrong I get headaches. Going for a run settles everything down though and they go away. Just hard to remember that when lying in bed prior to.

    Finally picked up a hands-free leash and a running belt to try running with my pup. Three short runs in (to acclimate us both), and he’s super excited to see the harness come out of the drawer. It feels good to have a running buddy.

    I’ve been off the wagon for years, ever since the pandemic and some lingering long covid symptoms, but I think the pup’s excitement might be enough to motivate me to be consistent.

    Just getting back into running again after 6 months off caused by a combination of apathy and injury. Feels really good to be up and mobile again.

    Got myself a altra outroad 2, they felt a bit to tight (height wise in the middle of my foot region) but everything else feels perfect.

    Just spent a 10km run constantly trying to find the perfect lacing tightness - does anyone else has this problem ? First i start too loose and smash my toes in the front on downhills. From that point on its a constant adjustements of ahhh too tight, to now its again too loose :clown emoji:
