Definitely do not try to run through it...it won’t improve but will become chronic then you’ll be out for months.

First rule - get a proper diagnosis from a podiatrist or physio if you haven’t already. Could be related causes/issues, and they’ll advise on treatment and rehab

If it is, then very regular rolling of the foot (frozen water bottle, tennis ball, golf ball - whichever causes the closest to making you cry with pain but not quite). Lots of calf stretching. Also worth investing in a strassbourg sock (loads available online) - know several people who have had good results with these.

Good luck...it’s a little f****r of an injury to get rid of, and very painful.

Thanks v much for that. Seems to be getting worse. I’m hoping a new pair of trainers and regular stretching is going to get me through until April.

I noted that you’re suffering with acid reflux. I’ve just under gone surgery to correct my hiatus hernia as nothing was helping mine (after 3 years of tests, monitoring, and life style changes). The surgery has worked for me, but it was a pretty horrendous experience, so would recommend trying all you can to avoid it.

Not too much. Those of us who used to bully the top of the table aren't having so much fun any more. :down:

The bar has been raised but can they all do it again in 2019?! I'll be back.

310xt is alright but my Suunto Ambit Peak 3 absolutely kicks it's arse on GPS accuracy and battery life. It's brilliant.

Based on your recommendation backing up this article http://fellrnr.com/wiki/GPS_Accuracy I've placed an order. I was slightly confused by all the versions, but went for the multisport as it seemed best value for money @ £125 including HRM strap. I purchased from Wiggle who were same price as Amazon, but had 3% cashback available via TopCashback.

It's a bit pathetic, but my main reason for getting it is that my local parkrun has a corner that is covered by trees, and I believe loss of signal is making it seem like I've cut the corner and is Strava is recording 4.9km. Plus on longer group runs Strava is reporting a few 100m less than others.

7lbs heavier than last week. Still 5 to gain but will now resume exercise. Feeling very lethargic but hoping the body kicks into gear on the Prom in the morning.

I plan on getting over to Lancing for my official debut there, last chance in 2018. I made it to work on time today (no, really) so I'm hoping to extend the streak of getting places on time to 2. I did a fairly rigorous leg session today so I think 20 minutes at best tomorrow, wherever I end up. I'm looking to add a bit more fun back into my running in the new year and I'm going to sit down and work out a marathon training plan soon.

You beat me, [MENTION=15605]knocky1[/MENTION]! I couldn't maintain the 6:36 first mile pace. I did a tough leg session yesterday and I was short of stamina today in a big way. I also made the mistake of parking in Shoreham and then jogging to the start. That's a huge error, going forward it's the right idea but not while I'm in a terrible condition. I ran a 21:38 into the wind on the way back and came 10th. A solid Lancing Beach Green parkrun official debut for me, I ran 19:30odd at their test event in the stunning sunshine. Today was a different experience!

Yes! At last I get to say ‘can someone update the table please’! 21:01 at Worthing this morning, good conditions but hampered by a cold - absolutely delighted to set an SB by 28 seconds - felt its been coming for a while and suddenly the breakthrough happens. Best time since 17 December 2016!!!

Another update needed to the table.

Went down to Worthing parkrun this morning for a flat and fast run.
Season best of 23.15, and best ever age grade rating of 68.39%.

I'll be back before another Saturday 3pm ko to have a go at my PB.
