Just as a heads up - Brooks Cascadia 14 GTX are about half RRP on Amazon at the mo.
I picked up this pair for £69.99 - when others have them at £105-130 range

Good input - thanks for taking the time to respond.
As it happens I have recently developed some knee pain - so this could be the reason.
Why didn't it occur to me that might be the case ? ...
Strava informed me that I need a new pair of shoes as I've done over 500km in my Brooks Adrenaline GTS 18.
They look ok to me...

I had the ice pack on much of yesterday and
this just arrived - I have to say I’m very impressed.

Thanks guys - I've read that those foam rollers are good for 'rolling out' tight calf muscles...
...which I think is the root cause of my problem too. Anyone used one ?
TIA

After running a PB 10km I was feeling pretty good on my regular 6k & 10k runs.
Until Monday - I pulled up with a strain at the top of the Achilles' tendon after 1km - & had to abandon the run. ...
I bought these...

Did a 10km run yesterday.
First time since about 18 months ago & managed a PB.

Pacing ; how to get it right?
I have a regular 5km run and a PB of 24:42 for this route... which seems a bit of a fluke given recent performance on the same route.
Today, I set off with my...
What are these endorphins you talk of ?
My usual post run experience is lots of sweat & a few achy joints...
Do I need to push harder ?

Skipped Monday as it lashed it down all day.
Managed 5km on Tuesday.
Hope to get another 5km in tonight.
...& footy on Friday :eagerness:

A 'gentler' 6km for me today - but it felt like hard work after a week of beer und sausage in Stuttgart :unconscious:

Nice work. The C25k is one of the best things I’ve done for my fitness - really great program that gradually ups the target but in an achievable way.
And I find It’s important (& very satisfying)...
Just cracked 25min 5k for a new PB.

Had a couple of weeks off running with work & other commitments (but still managed Friday footy).
Did 4km on Sunday - & it seemed harder then I remembered - even at an easier 5’46” pace.

Poorly weekend.
No footy. No running.
Bah ! & double bah !

Back up to 10km today.
That’s probably about 1 mince pie I’ve burned off.
z
how did you do that ?
z
I’ll be propping up the leaderboard
- but looks like I’ll have to enter my runs manually - not sure my Fitbit will sync with strava?

(only 7k today - Seem to have picked up foot injury)
