Over 1,000 runners took part in Irish parkruns this morn - first time over the 1k. 8 different locations.

Consistently 300+ at malahide. Must be hard to manage.

Got the first 20 mile run of year in on Saturday, went well and felt fairly ok after it, held a good pace throughout it and took in some good hills as well. Drove home from finishing point and legs didn't feel so good when i got out of car  ;D Had a good soak in the bath and recovered well. Great to get it done and hopefully get another one in next weekend. Connemara marathon on 7th April.

After failing to get to 5K last year due to injury, old age and frustration, I started again today.

I ran 1 mile, badly. I am absolutely f*cked.

From now on, can all runners posting here divide their distances by 10 so I don't feel too bad?

Forget about running fast Muppet. The view from the back of the field is the best...

Seen this doing the rounds on twitter earlier but they've taken it down now. The BBC won't be impressed that the Golden boy is so unknown over the pond.

O'Lionaird has a stormer of a run there in the heats of 3000m European indoors, looked easy. Great to see him back flying after what happened in London.

Been doing training runs almost daily and doing various weekly parkruns in London since the turn of the year(missed last weekend) and signed up for a 10k in Brockwell Pk this morning, it's near Brixton for those familiar with the area.

Decided to do the parkrun there yesterday to get a feel for the place and made a nice discovery: it's hilly as f*ck!!

Ran the 5k in a PB so far of 24:25 and finished the 10k this morning in 51:50 so more than happy with both. 6 of us done the 10k and i finished 2nd so very pleased with my weekends work. One mate who's a regular runner reckons it's the toughest 10k he's done so that gives me hope for the future.

Gonna keep up with the parkruns on top of regular training runs and have signed up for another 10k on Easter Sunday in Richmond Park. There's rumours that the runners will get Easter eggs :)

Can anyone recommend a physio in the north that specialises in running injuries?

My missus is hooked on running last couple of months. I've gone out a lot with her but I'm couple of stone overweight and bit unfit. We do the 5k In under 30 minutes bout 3/5 times a week. Last week I couldn't run more than 2k. Shin splints I think. I use old runners they are not great and I think they maybe what is causing the problem other than being unfit and overweight

Tomorrow I am getting some new runners and looking for some advise. Any Advise would be great. Haven't run in a week and hoping tomorrow night my legs might hold up.

Looking to help out a few young lads 13-17 with programmes for shorter track stuff. Rather than make it up as I go along I hope to give them something that will bring them on for competition in May. I m talking from 100 to 800.

Anybody know where I can get stuff. Any help would be appreciated.

One for the marathon boys here.

If you were planning to do a marathon, assuming that the person has trained to the required standard and has done his longest " long run" by this stage, would this be a feasible option?

29th Sept : Half Marathon
13th Oct : 16 mile road race
20th Oct : Marathon

Yay or Nay?
