Sombrero-ho-ho-ho Dec 2023 8:46pm, 30 Dec 2023 13,795 posts	0 Sombrero-ho-ho-ho Oooh new peoples for 2024 Welcome to the nuthouse. I used to get lots of niggles/minor injuries but the last few years have been really good since I started making myself do a warm up and cool down on EVERY run. Around 5-10 minutes, it's sometimes a real ballache to do (especially if the weather is rubbish) but it makes such a difference. Usually just a walk before training runs, sometimes a mix of walking then jogging lightly. For a parkrun or effort session, I do a few minutes walking, a few minutes jogging, then some butt-kicks, high knees, side to side drills and finally some short strides. I know this might sound like a real faff but it's so worth it. The one occasion when I cut my warm up (was doing a club run and didn't have much time before the run) I ended up having to stop and stretch as my legs weren't warmed up. Which was a pain!
Sombrero-ho-ho-ho Dec 2023 8:47pm, 30 Dec 2023 13,796 posts	0 Sombrero-ho-ho-ho Cool downs are generally a half mile walk, again it can be a bit of an inconvenience especially if the weather is rubbish or you're meeting people etc but I stick to it and it helps me.
SarahWoo Dec 2023 8:49pm, 30 Dec 2023 19,630 posts	0 SarahWoo Feeling glum this evening. Haven’t run for months this year because of PF. Have just got to week 4 of C25K because it seemed to be better. It isn’t. My left heel is sore 😕
RRR-CAZmas 🇬🇧 Dec 2023 9:00pm, 30 Dec 2023 6,052 posts	0 RRR-CAZmas 🇬🇧 Good advice Som ^ For the 700 thread to make a point but not a rule is to take a picture of a BIN at your 700 mile mark & then change your target to something else so others get to the top. I always set my target to 700 as this is the best thread once I get to 700 I reset target after a bin picture. Any questions please fmail rrrcaz
Ding Dong Daisy Dec 2023 9:02pm, 30 Dec 2023 39,418 posts	0 Ding Dong Daisy Boo to sore heels Sarah Som I completely agree about the warm-up before running. The Garmin plan I'm following always starts every session with a 10 minute brisk walk.
Sombrero-ho-ho-ho Dec 2023 9:20pm, 30 Dec 2023 13,797 posts	0 Sombrero-ho-ho-ho That's such a shame SWoo I got one of these a long time ago and I still use it occasionally: ebay.co.uk I find it really helps.

Welcome to the 2024 thread: 700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient. Join in the chat on the friendliest thread around - all things discussed, sometimes even running.

Training goals: Don’t cry, don’t die. And if you go under or over 700 miles, noone will mind. Tag me @Serendippily to add a target event and we’ll give you a cheer.

700+ Overachievers: well done and please reset your target so everyone gets a spot in the sun
