[Milltown Row2]

Currently followin a women on the twitter doing 32mile a day. Into her 90plus day of it. Crazy stuff

Stalking her ya mean

Running a half at the end if March so tipping away trying to get back up in terms of miles. Didn't run a mile after Amsterdam in October so starting from scratch again really. Should have kept it up but had no motivation because I had no race booked.

Manchester is a quick marathon from what I know or it, couple of lads in work ran it and got great times. One broke 3 hours and the other was 3:12 I think.

Yeah heard it's quick and flat, be a nice change from the hills in Dublin Marathon.
I won't be near any of those times those lads are running though

Anyone on the board suffer from Plantar fasciitis currently or in the past? I have been battling it for a few years,can be brutal in the morning after an evening run or training session the night before,I blame work boots 40 hours a week and a lot of years tramping about a gaa field.
Anyone see a specialist about it or get treatment? I did 4x£50 sessions a few years ago with a specialist that just held a small device that sent shockwaves into my heel for ten mins,didn't help at all and cost a fortune lol

Is that the actual diagnosis? I had that heel pain before.. I just rested it and touch wood haven't been troubled

What I also did was change my trainers to more cushion

Ankle and foot mobility exercises and make sure your calves aren't excessively tight. I have had it before but never too bad. The likes of ankle rolls etc are very helpful on a daily basis. If big boots are causing this you're likely less mobile round those kind of areas.

Do you wear the heal gels in your boots?  I got a dose of it last year,  physio told me to get the heal gels and wear them all the time except when running. They definitely helped.

Yeah i had it pretty bad about 3 seasons ago.  The first few steps of the day were brutal painful and warming up for training was always sore but then I would be fine playing but the pain would return again after.   The thing that made the most difference to me was getting a pair of insoles and I wore them in all my shoes (but not my football boots).  I was advised not to shell out on pricey customised ones and I just bought Dr Sholl orthaheel sports insoles (quite tough, not gel like).  They take a bit of getting used to and the impact is not immediate but after a few weeks the pain was less and after a couple of months I was pain free.  Dunno if you jog but I'd give that a miss for a few weeks.

Good luck.

Currently training for the Manchester Marathon which is this day 10 weeks.
About to head out the door now for a 30km run, it's -1° at the moment though 🥶
Training going very well so far, nearly too well. Keep waiting for something to go wrong!

Am signed up too

Might see you there! Though you'll be on the plane back home and I'll still only be at half way of the race!
Kind of guessed you were in Marathon training from your Strava runs alright.
Only 9 weeks left 😬

It's a great course , you'll have to shield your eyes going by Old Trafford though !
Tough time of the year for it but good to get a clear run at the summer with no long training is my thinking , baby number 2 coming end of July too ...so it'll be a good while again before any decent training is done for me ! Hoping for a PB but nothing soft in a marathon , so many variables . Enjoying each session now though ..

Anyone got the Garmin 255? My Visio packed in and going to change back to a forerunner. Bit extra cost than the 245 but meant to be 14 days charge (none GPS) which is a big help. Have to say I missed all the running data when I had the Visio.

I've the 955 and it's great. The 255 supposed to be pretty good also, hard to go wrong with the Garmin forerunner series to be fair.

Yeah 955 looked great. Bit out of my budget tho unfortunately. Had a 245 before the Visio and liked it. Visio was a bit of a disappointment but it was my fault as picked the wrong one for what I needed.
