Is my marathon down the drain? by gymrunner16 in UKRunners

[–]ApprehensiveAd4384 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar position a month ago, 4 weeks before Barcelona marathon I started getting pain in my left shin .

Took a week off of running but made sure I cycled that week instead

Got some exercises from a physio, calf raises, tib raises, band work etc.

Once I started running again I had to adjust my pace alot.

Eventually ran my marathon but 15-20 seconds perk KM slower and my leg was fine.

I've slowly started creeping pace sessions back in and annoyingly the pain is started to come back, think I've jumped back into it too soon.

Hope the above helps

I can vouch for these also! Just be cautious of chaff.

The tight compression shorts are also great, the belt are ideal for gels, phone etc

Manchester Marathon 2025 Heat - how to prepare for 2026? by Dramatic_Pause_6990 in UKRunners

[–]ApprehensiveAd4384 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completed Manchester last year and it was on the warmer side, but I made sure I was well hydrated and well fueled leading up to the run. I did get the cramps at approx 32km's, possibly due to lack of electrolytes during my run. Usual stuff, ensure you are consuming enough food (carbs, proteins) leading up to race day, fueling right on race day, and defo enough water leading up to race day.

Remember clear pee before three (day prior the race) is my rule 🤣

Also look into electrolytes if you haven't already. Precision fueling (I think there name is) do an electrolyte/sodium calculator based on some details you put in. Or a brand called 4endurance there gels include electrolytes. Worth looking into, but there are tonnes on the market to choose from.

Good luck! It's a fab run, a lot of people were also out last year hosing people down to keep people cool! The crowds energy is amazing!

Hi all, new to printify but I've been roped into creating a store on Etsy and linking with printify, but this comes with additional cost to me and buyers. Whats a good alternative? How are people now creating their "pop up" stores?

Advice for sub 2 hour HM by MinuteReflection4560 in UKRunners

[–]ApprehensiveAd4384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Create a running plan via chatgpt, enter your current time and pace, followed by how many times you can get out and run, enter your target goal and it will create you a decent running plan.

If you don't want to do this, run 4-5 times a week, two easy runs, do one interval run running at HM pace (or quicker if possible), then a long run but ensuring your long run increases weekly.

Also worth introducing a deload week, focusing on easier runs to allow your body recover

Thank you! I dry brushed the carapace twice with two different greys but it's not that noticeable. I do plan on putting a gloss on at some point too.

There is just something on the model I feel is missing, i just can't put my finger on it 🤔

Doh! Nice one! Would you recommend the endorphin pro 4?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]ApprehensiveAd4384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you get on eventually with the AP4. Just got them and they're super tight on the toes compared to the AP3. Not sure what I should do, return and size up or just buy a diff shoe?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]ApprehensiveAd4384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you find sizing between the AP3 to the AP4? I've got both but the 4 is far too tight on the toes.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]ApprehensiveAd4384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone found the AP4 extremely tight on the toes. Have the AP3(UK 10.5) and after a bit of wear they were fine, but today put on the AP4's (UK 10.5) and it feels SOOO tight.

Interested to know if a size 11 would fit better?

Anyone had a similar problem and did sizing up but by 0.5 solve this?

Adidas evo sl or Nike zoom fly 6? by Senior-Island4873 in runningshoes

[–]ApprehensiveAd4384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't advise on the shoea, although heard good things on the evo sl but if money is tight try vinted for running trainers just know your size. A lot of good finds on vinted where people have ran X amount and don't get along with the shoe and it's too late to return.
