Cheers guys. I just realised that your time for 10k is significantly better than mine too. How old are you Scara?

Yep, I'm registered to do the Park run, we're near the Riddlesdown oneOriginally posted by RoadEnd View PostIf you are aiming to run a 10K, slow your average pace down to nearer 6 mins per kilometre at first.
I've been training for the Great Manchester 10K since February having not really run at all before. I've got my 5k down to 26mins 30secs and I am running the 10K at a slightly slower pace. My target for the 10K is to break the 55 minute mark.
I do a parkrun every Saturday morning. I really recommend them is there's one near you.
I use the Endomondo app and find that really good.Comment

Really recommend the My Fitness Pal app, lost a stone in a month or so. Really good app to keep track of what your eating.'I couldn't settle in Italy - it was like living in a foreign country.' - Ian RushComment

Here is my diet tip. Take a few days off smoking weed a week. Maybe Monday or Tuesday as your diet days. (I would not recommend smoking crack to compensate) Then your free to binge for the rest of the week to compensate for two days of living on rations. Live like a sultan with your big breasted wife Mary Jane.Comment

Ran my first 10k of the year in 50m
Got another 3 to do in the next 4 weeks. Hopfully get under the 48 minute mark for the final race in the series.
To offer some sort of contrast the winner of the race last night ran it in 31m

Does sound like a metatarsal injury. Better get it checked outComment

Rubbish if it is. The ball of my left foot is also hurting like hell now. I'm falling apart.

Anyone suffered from Shin Splints?
What can I do to ease/prevent them but still carry on training?Comment

I've had crippling shin splints a few times and they are a cunt of a thing.
Only thing really sorted them was rest and avoiding what gave me them in the first place. The first time I got them I was playing 5-a-side on hard floor practically every day and it got to the stage where I actually couldn’t stand. I then got them badly another time using a treadmill.
I went to the doctor and physio and all they recommended was stretches which didn’t really work and I bought bandage type things that were supposed to help but didn’t. Rest was the only thing that really worked sadly.If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?Comment

****, I thought that'd be the case.Comment

How'd you get yours? Are they at the uncomfortable stage or actually painful?
I never used to tie my shoe laces either which didn't help, so obvioulsy I make sure I do now.

Yes, rest was the only thing that worked for me. Playing five-a-side on tarmac caused it.Originally posted by RedReet View Post
I didn't have it that bad but I think I stopped playing for several weeks at least. Then again it would have been quicker if I'd been younger, everything takes longer to heal once you hit middle age..
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.Comment

Shin splints tend to indicate that your legs aren't getting enough cushioning/support from your shoes so your legs are taking the brunt of the force of running.
Get yourself some proper supportive running shoes will help and plenty of rest until they feel better.
If you're playing footie however I've not yet come across a decent pair of supportive boots or astro trainers sadly.Comment
