4th week at 100km, now it’s time to taper for Leeds half marathon #run #running #ukrunchat

Back to back long runs, felt very sick for the first 5km and had a bit of a hamstring niggle but got it done✅ #run #running

11 miler today #run #running #ukrunchat

Also 12km recovery run #running #run #ukrunchat

Seeing my new doctor tomorrow after having a manic episode a couple of weeks ago and having to leave my university placement, pushing back my graduation by a year 🫠 hopefully things are on the up!

Another 9 today and may or may not have signed up for the Manchester marathon next year #run #running #ukrunchat

@Chris211162 Safe than sorry, feel generally unsafe at night time on my on compared to my husband who runs at all times of day

Genuine question for my female running friends, purely out of curiosity. If you are wary about running after dark, is it because something has happened to you,or because you want to be safe rather than sorry?

@ellemccoole Good luck in the London ballot! I have entered Manchester and hope to get a spot in London too but we’ll see. Good luck with your running goals!

I have applied for London and I will switch to that if successful but… i’ll be running a marathon in 2027 🫡🩵

@Nagey8 Well done and amazing time!

Running is a funny sport. I wanted to do a half-marathon yesterday but body said nah, could only do 6kms. Today i wanted to do 10kms but ended up doing 22kms.

If this week was your longest run - or your first marathon, then please listen. Tomorrow, you’re probably going to feel wrecked. Calves, ankles, quads…even your shoulders. And don’t be surprised if there’s some serious brain fog too. Just recover. For most runners, it takes longer than you think. Don’t try to be a hero and jump right back in. That’s the fastest way to get injured after a marathon. You’re not going to lose all your fitness. Take the week off. Go for some easy walks, relax, and let your body actually heal. Once the aches and pains are gone, give it another 2–3 days before slowly easing back into training. For some 5-10 days recovery is fine, for others it may be 2-3 weeks. The key is to listen to your body and don't force runs if the body is telling you it's not ready. You accomplished something pretty big. Just enjoy it so you can stay healthy and do another. 👊

Started training again and trying to build up my endurance and get my feet used to running tired. I’m looking to just finish this half strong without a time in mind to avoid further injury and then build from there.

I did 4 consecutive half marathons last year and ended up tearing something in my right foot. Originally dismissed even though I couldn’t weight bear on a morning, couldn’t run over 10km without severe pain and each run was the slowest I’ve ever been. Now im 4 months pain free!

Also my bib for #leedshalfmarathon has just arrived!

@Mafepicov Well done!

Nada como demostrarte a ti misma que si podías❤️‍🩹

@SMcCue83 @LondonMarathon Thats a fantastic time!

I didn’t get the time I wanted for @LondonMarathon (4:00:33) - many reasons/excuses as to why but I now have this medal in my possession and I’m very happy to do so. It’s an event unlike any other I’ve done - quite overwhelming at times but what a ride! 2026tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/scott-mccue

Easy 9 today #run #running #runner #ukrunchat

From last year's #DumptheScales march. The same applies now. Stop weight being a barrier for treatment.

Some running days are just messy, had to squeeze runs in between moving my Grandad into his new care home but managed to get it done even if it took 3 attempts #run #running #ukrunchat
