Morts Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Some excellent advice here. Core, gait, shoes, stretching and a physio are the main messages so far. For what it's worth I'd like to add some non impact training to help your comeback. I find a rebounder works great. It moves every blood cell in your body and a 30 minute session will certainly assist a fitness regime. What's your target? 10km, half marathon....

Thanks everyone. My target at the moment if 5K. I've started one of those programs that's supposed to get you from couch to 5K:). I use to run quite a lot when I was younger but after such a long lay off it is a real struggle to get to a stage where I can say I'm a runner again lol.

LoopyCool Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Lee79 - you go running, therefore you're a runner !! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise either Just to echo an earlier poster, I've had terrible problems in my knees and a visit to a good physio uncovered an unresolved upper back injury that was forcing my lower back to over-compensate and in turn trapping my sciatic nerve. The knee pain was referring from all the way up between my shoulder blades !! Good luck with the future 5k - I'm getting back on the horse after 2 years out due to the aforementioned knee problems - mainly due to my own stupidity in refusing to see a physio for most of that time . . . .

wibbles Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Unless they are proper running shoes tailored to your personal running style the will probably be doing you damage in one form or another. Not quite the case is it??? Here's some free and extensive guidance on trainers. Try loads of different ones on and see which ones fit best and are the most comfy. They might cost you £20, they may cost you £100 but the price won't necessarily be a reflection on how good the shoes are for you so don't be suckered into paying too much when a cheap pair from Decathlon may be the perfect ones...end of advice.
