Reina Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 3 hours ago, Stu said: Think I've pulled a muscle in my backside again - similar to what put me out for about a month in the summer although the initial pain obviously isn't quite as bad as I can at least walk about without any problems! Any advice for ways to speed up the recovery time? Might try to get a foam roller and have ibuprofen gel to rub in. I know folk will suggest RICE but I'm intrigued as to how I'm meant to elevate my bum! If you've got an ice pack (or just use frozen peas, obviously), try to ice it 15 mins every hour as long as you can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah will try to do that - although they might frown on that at work... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reina Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I pulled my groin a month ago and could only do the ice thing at home. It wasn't comfortable! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Just entered the Balmoral 10k. Not been running that much at all since the Scottish Half but I need something to train towards. Want to break 50 minutes and if I can do it here I can smash flatter 10ks hopefully.Anyone else doing this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snakebite Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Guys help a brer out. Don't read down if yer eating. I've never really had problems when running but the other week I got a c**t of a blister that ballooned up on my big toe, it was excruciating and I could barely walk. I'm guessing it might be the shoes or the socks, but they are made for running and comfortable, so I wasn't too quick to dismiss them. I rested up for about a week, grudgingly, despite the temptation just to burst the blister, I just used cream and it was worn well down after about 3-4 days. I then though had a load of dead skin on my toe which was coming apart a bit but just lingering, so I tore it off. I then went a run 2 nights ago and I could feel a bit of pain by the end (quite a hilly 6km run) and then when I took my sock off, in the area where I'd taken the dead skin it was all red, as if it had been bleeding inside by it hadn't obviously come out. Two days later its still the same shade of red near enough, but seems to be blackening a little and still a bit uncomfortable. I'm getting junkie withdrawal symptoms and want to go back out, but I also want a solution to this that doesn't cause future issues or pain. Embdy got any suggestions as to what it is and how it may be treated? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully some good weather for it. My first time running a half marathon - just hoping for somewhere under 2 hrs for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrison Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Reina - cracking run by the wee man, and paced like a pro!Stellaboz - quite a few clubmates are planning Balmoral, can imagine it'll be a great setting Socks - are you still involved with your club much? I'd find it difficult when I couldn't join in! I was at Vogrie parkrun today. Really enjoyable course, mostly on much better trail than I was expecting and a good bit wider. I'll try venturing out in the summer again when the miniture train's in operation! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Treadmill tonight after work, 8 miles in 55 minutes. Looking to get up to sub 1hr 30 for 13 miles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiemunster Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Good to hear everybody getting into the swing for running season, empathise with those toiling a bit with injuries at the moment. Weeks of running in the cold and rain has led to my immune system taking a tanking and my ulcerative colitis kicking in like f**k. Beyond frustrating with only 5 weeks till London. Had a couple of weeks out, no change, so dosing myself up with imodium and trying my best. Had to run the last five miles home holding a shite in on Wednesday, the good news being I could hold it in, but doesn't bode well for the full 26. First long run tomorrow, deliberately heading somewhere with plenty tree cover incase of a toalie based emergency. Wish me luck troops. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

true_rover Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Alloa Half Marathon for me this morning. Conditions were far from easy with a 5 mile straight run into the win, but for once I was actually sensible with pacing and kept enough in the tank to take the 11th mile hill comfortably and push on for the last two miles. 1:32:29 which is 21 seconds quicker than the same course last year. Happy with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Dougal McGuire Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I too did Alloa half marathon today for what was the first time I had run anything over 8 miles. I got caught in the excitement at the start and went off way too quick, meaning I struggled from the 8th mile onwards. Still managed a time of 1.52.22 which I was chuffed with. Rubbed half my nipples off though, I didn't realise that was an issue! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerton Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Also done Alloa. The long straight into the wind was hell and I didn't know the hill was coming. Thankfully I had enough good splits in the first 8 miles and I managed a 2 min half pb. 93.29. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juansebastianvernon Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Got round in 1.55 which I was happy with as aiming for under 2 hours. My first half marathon, so was on for a PB anyway! I've seen on facebook a few complaints of lack of water for runners towards the back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morrison Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Seems like a successful day in Alloa for the P&B contingent, good stuff. Apart from the rubbing off of nipples...Have you survived your run, eddie? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiemunster Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Running on imodium is fucking rubbish, but it's doing the job cheers Morrison. No Paula Radcliffe so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiemunster Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Anybody familiar with Edinburgh able to advise if a run up Arthur's Seat (fnarr) and back is doable in an hour or so if staying near Haymarket? Route seems straightforward enough but a bit of local knowledge would be appreciated. Since I saw it in T2 I just fancy the run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrison Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 It's about 11k/7miles...ran a slightly shorter version of that with a mate (a 45min 10k runner) in 56 minutes last week, so I'd say yes! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
