Went out in the new snazzy shoes this morning - probably caused temporary blindness to a few of the neighbours! 😱 Had planned a short, steady run to wear them in a bit, but they were so comfy I ended up doing a short, but much faster than planned effort 🙂 2.83 miles at 8:59/mile pace, first time since 2014 on that route below 9 minutes a mile 🙂 Ankle feels fine 🙂
 
Managed 5.03 miles this morning (determined to complete 5! 🙂) in 47'12" - 9'23"/mile, so good for me. Ankle fine again, perhaps I can stop worrying about it now? Mind you, I still worry about the whole leg breaking and that was 12 years ago! 😱 🙄
 
Thats great. My foot is completely better now from whatever I done to it recently. Im doing a 28km walk on the 10th September and im fairly sure it will be in the back of my mind the whole time!!!

Excellent news Stitch 🙂

Well done Alan. Keep it going. 🙂

That's good news about your foot Stitch. Good luck with the 28k walk (you could extend it a 'little' bit and walk up to Birmingham for the forum meet on that day 😉). 🙂

Haha! I don't know about that! I'm doing the Thames Path Challenge, walking from Putney Bridge to Hampton Court. I'll be taking photos as I go so will bore you all with them.

Good luck Stitch on that 28k ! 😎
 
Ran a 10k this morning (6.2 miles) in honour of Mo Farah, although it took me about 34 minutes longer 😱 Mind you, I'm guessing the track in Rio didn't have this profile...

Glad to hear the ankle is holding up and the new runners are lighting up the lives of your neighbours. I know it's frustrating but the key with tendon inflammation is always to stop as soon as it grumbles, that way you're off your feet for three days rather than three months (there I am nagging again!). My physio said something to me recently that might help and I kept meaning to tell you, hence this post, the nagging was just an added extra 😉. Peroneal problems largely start because of the foot arch, so after activity engaging the feet (running, walking, dancing etc) arch massage is very useful at releasing any tension that will eventually lead to soft tissue damage. She gave me a massage thingy but you can buy them in Boots for a few pounds, it looks like a rubber dog bone but you roll your foot on it. I was sceptical but by George that thing gives the plantar fascia what for I can tell you, and so far I've not had any niggles with the plantar region, my Achilles, or peroneal and for me that's a miracle given that my wonky joints mean at least one of those is grumbling at all times. Even managed some pretty intensive dancing. Might be worth a try, be warned though it's quite painful, course that could just be my mashed body but it was quite the surprise 😱
 
Thanks for that @KookyCat, I will look into it 🙂 I've had a problem with my arches since I was a small child, they are very high. It seems to be working well taking two or three days off in between each run to let everything recover properly, and I think my improving strength is helping too 🙂 There's still the 'ghost' of soreness there the day after a run, but then everything feels fine and no problems during a run 🙂
 
good to see things heading back OK northerner. My physio totally backs up kooycats points. either a small childs ball or one of the rollery/massagy ones under the arch on a regular basis. Also, as weird as it may sound, scrunch up a tea towel with your feet as that also strengthens the arch. I am using heel tabs in shoes and walking around on tip toes too but I think that is just designed to make me look a fool in the office!
 
Couldn't resist going out for a quick, short run this morning - and it turned into a bit of a record-breaker (well, PBs since I started using the Garmin in 2008 🙂) Quickest times for 1 mile, 3 miles and 5k! 🙂

Well done. 🙂 Fairly consistent mileage times as well.
 
Went for a bit of a longer run this morning - managed 8.81 miles in 1:28, so exactly 10 mins/mile 🙂 Thought about going that bit further to round it up to 9 miles, but that would have meant running past my house and my legs said 'No, don't be daft!' 😱 :D
 
Hurrah! Managed a 10 mile 'Tour de Southampton' this morning 🙂 Included some pretty steep hills, so quite pleased both with distance and time and ankle seems fine 🙂 This was actually my fastest 10 mile run since diagnosis! 🙂

Excellent work Alan. The Southampton marathon next year must be whispering in your ear. :D

Maybe, but my legs are screaming 'Noooooooo!!!!!' 😱 :D Thankfully, the deadline for applications has passed, but I have signed up for the half 🙂 Mind you, they are offering an upgrade to the longer distance....😱 😉
 
Forgot to add - I didn't test during the run as I felt OK, but tested when I got home and was 5.4, so pretty happy with that 🙂 Not bad, 10 miles on a slice of Burgen toast! 😱 🙂
