UKTexans Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 I ran two laps of Hyde Park yesterday. First lap with a friend at 5:30/km pace then I went for a second on my own at 4:40/km pace. First time I think I've ever had a quicker second half than first! I always go out too hard lol. Had enough in the tank for a third lap but we had plans so didn't have the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullsandBroncos Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Best Shoes for high arches? Preferably none of the "naked foot" shoes like the Nike Free runs. When I was in the air force, I had a pair of Asics that were nice but $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a natural at distance running (always more of a sprinter), but I have run 2 marathons and 4 half marathons. I tore a tendon in my ankle from rolling it on curbs during training for my second marathon, but recently ran my first half since surgery. I've just been enjoying being able to run again, but will be glad for cooler training weather. My physical therapist thinks I tore my ATFL a little over a month ago. Any chance that's what you did?

Mine was the peroneal tendon. It was actually rubbing over the bone, making it worse over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried a few since then that were cheaper but was never satisfied and went back for another pair. Honestly it might just be better to either save for a bit to get quality or just look at insoles that may make your current shoes more accommodating. https://www.vivehealth.com/blogs/resources/best-insoles-for-high-arches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGreen Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 got a 23 min 5K in the 85 degree heat today after work. was pretty stoked. pretty confident with a bit more training, ideal weather conditions, and adrenaline i can get a sub 20 on the next "official" 5K i run actually training for a 10K, but once and awhile im letting it rip on 1 and 3 mile runs. trying to hit well under sub 6 on the 1 mile run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shady Slim Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 went for a cheeky 8k today with a friend, 41:46, so not that superb but not bad either, and we weren’t very exhausted afterwards we’re looking for more races in and around the state to compete in but they’re all so far away, and we don’t want to drive three miles down the coast and have to get out and leg it practically straight away lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a 10 minute drive? Or you talking Australian miles or something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skywindO2 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I signed up for another half marathon in May. Right now I'm only running 3 days a week. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday at 3 miles, 3 miles, and ~5 miles respectively. My long run this time of year on a treadmill depends on how long the episode of whatever TV show I'm watching is. Looking into some 8-12 week training programs, hoping to ramp up frequency and intensity in March. Anyone have any recommended plans? Last year I didn't really follow a plan and it went alright but looking for a bit more structure this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There a bunch of experience levels that I believe can be found for free on the internet. If you have an experience level in mind that you can't find, let me know and I could probably find it on my running club's website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaKid7 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Any barefoot/minalmist runners here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkolMasterMN Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Had no idea there was a running thread until today! This is awesome to see. Running is a huge part of my life as I've always done it. Currently am running competitively in college. Times are 16:35 for the 5k, 9:50 for the 2 mile and 4:35 for the mile. Absolutely love the sport! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
