What’s your proudest running moment?
In May this year I entered a 10k race - with no intention of actually racing. The year before I’d pulled out of the same event because of knee problems, and I remember thinking on the journey there, that simply getting to the start line was an achievement. By the time we crossed the finish line it was raining so we headed back to the van. We were just about to get going and I heard my name being shouted over the tannoy. I thought I must have lost something, but it turned out I’d come first in my age group! I couldn’t stop laughing. I am not a natural or talented runner. I was awful at school - so to win my first medal at 53 was something I never expected. It just goes to show - we can bounce back now and do more than we ever thought possible. What’s your most memorable run?

@Gabrielle O'Hare yes absolutely! My mum died of a brain tumour and bit by bit lost her physicality so to put a positive slant on I think how lucky am I to be able to get out and run 😊

@Paula Mcintosh that was me too at school too and I couldn’t run for a bus.I’d say it took guts for you to step into running environment so well done you! 👍🏻

Who has a run planned this weekend?
Mine’s planned for Sunday. Saturday is always a day for shopping and getting straight at home - and getting a dinner ready to come back to after being out running. Which day are you out?

Went out today after a sickness bug and was really nervous. It’s horrible how quickly you can lose confidence isn’t it. Did 5k so feel better for that. Thinking of doing rainy days on treadmill with interval training or inclines and keeping the outdoors for longer runs (when I can look around and pass the time being nosey 😆). Next run Sunday inside or out, we will see with the great British weather.

This weeks focus - taking action
Last week I shared a lot of information - which was important. This week is all about making changes, to get you on the path to becoming a stronger, faster, leaner runner - and achieving your personal goals. So I want you to do two things and share them in the comments: 1 - identify 2-3 changes you need to make to your training and nutrition 2 - Get clear about how you will make that happen. The second part is the hardest, because it involves changing our routines. But unless we work this out, we’ll stay stuck. This is 100% worth taking 30 mins out of your day for. When you’ve done it share it here and I’ll keep you accountable by checking in with you on Friday to see how you’ve got one.

I’m going to build in more strength training and do it first thing on the day it’s happening. Build in different runs (so they’re not all putting the distance in) and aim to stay off sugar!

Aches & Pains - how do you handle them?
One of the most common symptoms ladies on the group have mentioned is increased aches and pains. How does this affect your training? Is there anything you have tried that helps you manage them?

Had a knee injury that lasted a very long time- no definitive answer despite MRI’s. Tried sports physio and another physio. Obviously no running ( walking was hard enough) in the end it was time that was the biggest healer.

Recording from Live Mobility Session
Here's the recording from today's session. I managed to record this one - but the settings mean that I'm quite small in the frame! So, I will re-do this one for you too, but here it is for now... here's hoping that it will be 3rd time lucky tomorrow and the recording will finally go to plan! https://youtu.be/8mTPX-yVQc0

Wow that’s made me realise how unprepared I am for my runs! I’m going to do these now. Thanks, really informative 👍🏻
