Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Morning :-)
Joins Seren in eyebrow raising at LD...
RH - love the pics on velociraptor's blog, looks like you had a great time. Hope the journey home is ok.
Mrs H - acupuncture. Cured my piriformis-related ITB problem that I'd had for 3 years in 5 minutes.

AR - well done on first run of the year, sounds beautiful
Phil - :-( Actually, I'd recommend acupuncture for a calf strain too ;-)
luck Sinj and XB and anyone else racing today
Apologies, Columba, for cluttering up the thread :-) Actually I didn't realise there was a decluttering thread - though I'm not surprised!
I'm going to try to have a running fail fail today *whispers for Columba's benefit* in amongst the ongoing decluttering :-)

Morning from lurgy central! Well I was in bed by 9.45 and up at 9.15 longest I've slept for as long as I remember! I was awake coughing the house down but fell straight back to sleep. Most unheard of.

So needless to say I won't be running but I am going to attempt to clear the spare room to sort my gym area out!

On dog running front I'm hoping when my cousins dog gets to 1 I can start training him to run with me Bailey's old harness should fit him. Just feel guilty not taking Ellie as she loves to run. We are doing the odd mile-mile and a half together.

Ymee, there was a decluttering thread,I thought sometime got rid of it, though 😜
LD, be good. Otherwise the spiky golf balls will hatch into large hedgehogs.

Football was a bad day yesterday the boys as well as Reading got well beaten :-( Always another game :-)

DS has a semi final today if the game is on (raining)

No tips Mrs H if the stretching and other tips do not work may have to visit a professional

Hope all the lurgies are leaving now and peeps are feeling better

I found acupuncture very good too Mrs H. If my piriformis gripes I usually do trigger point with a ball (i.e. sit on a lacrosse ball moving it about until it's on a good spot and leavibg for a count of ten then moving again). One I've done that I do glute stretches. The other thing is that the sciatic nerve goes through the piriformis and can get squished and that makes the pain worse. As well as acupuncture the physio gave me a nerve stretch to do to ease this. It may be in the vids TeeBee mentioned. I had to lie on my back, knees at 90 degrees, lift one foot off group and join hands behind knee and slowly straighten leg up, repeat a few times. That helped too.

FML: sounds like you are in for a long, fast run! Hope you enjoyed!

I put in 20k at a slovenly pace as I am also be-colded and be-coughed but it was acceptable. I got chatted up too by a rather nice-looking runner who, after volunteering that he had "never married" and after me volunteering that I married when I was 23, politely inquired if I was "happily married".

I answered yes. I'm boring like that. It's still nice though!

About This Thread

Maintained by Mandymoo
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2017 thread, everybody welcome :-)

The thread motto is:

'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles of either you or the spot you reached the target or both if you want to. And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.

Join in the chat on the friendliest thread around - all things discussed and sometimes even some running is talked about.

Happy running :-)
