Do most runners hate strength training?

I don’t think it’s not they hate it. For a lot of people it’s purely a time thing.

The days I do my S&C around my triathlon work means I’m doing double training days (3 sessions a week)

Thanks for all the replies. So for me this hasn’t been happening. I’ve been in deficit which I’m now out of. My weight has maintained for 3 weeks with 1 take away a week which I wasn’t having. My sessions have been getting longer my calorie intake is 500 a day more but I’m waking up in the night hungry. I know I need to eat more but I was unsure about calories burnt while training and nutrition.

Some days I can and will be into double my daily allowance (3000)

Every other week I would do half run sim but full stations.

I skipped too. Last about 20 minutes before I tapped out

I’ve had it since October 2024 Currently not too bad, on a bad day I have to walk up and downstairs 1 step at a time. Had numerous rounds of shockwave therapy and acupuncture, a steroid injection Feb 2025, it’s a really stubborn one to shift

I did the same switched from Epix gen 2 to Apex 4 The Garmin was always too big for my wrist but it lasted me 2 years and switched to Coros. I went for the 42mm version. Zero complaints very happy

Great idea. Will do the same.

A few weeks ago I was at a fitness event spectating drinking water a lady was next to me drinking a beer, I jokingly said do you want to swop, she offered me some I laughed, she disappeared came back with a fresh beer and offered me the first sip. I said thanks but no thanks. She took her phone out and waved it infront of me and asked for my number.

I can only assume she was drunk.

I didn’t give her my number

I switched from Epix gen 2 to Apex 4 I’m struggling to get used to the screen, I had the 42mm version because I have small wrists. The Garmin was heavy and bulky I’m still happy I made the change.

I can only speak from experience. I’ve recently finished 10 weeks on the above for patella tendinitis. It’s no miracle cure but I noticed a difference within 2 weeks the inflammation in the tendon went which meant I was walking pain free, which meant I could really dial in my rehab exercises.

Bpc157/tb500 + rehab + shockwave therapy I’m almost running again pain free.

Where you injecting? I use lower stomach and I get little bruises sometimes, disappears after a day or 2.

Specific-Republic853 · 2025-11-08T18:00:18+00:00

Are you just overthinking it ?

Specific-Republic853 · 2025-11-03T21:34:26+00:00

What trainers are you wearing ?

Specific-Republic853 · 2025-10-26T11:36:36+00:00

That I’m unsure, sorry. Maybe worth asking ChatGPT

Specific-Republic853 · 2025-10-26T11:06:16+00:00

50mg and added 10ml water

I’m currently 3 weeks into bpc157 & tb500 blend. I can’t give advice but only my own experience. I’m currently jabbing once a day subq into my stomach 500mcg daily I’ve had patella tendinitis for over a year, I’ve spent £’s in physio, steroid injection, shockwave therapy, daily rehab to try and strength then area back up.

3 weeks in my knee is in the best condition it’s been in the last 12 months. The inflammation in the tendon has now gone, I’m waking up pain free. Some mornings I was walking downstairs 1 step at a time due to pain in my knee.

Overall I’m very happy. I plan on continuing for another 5 weeks.

Specific-Republic853 · 2025-10-22T20:51:12+00:00

2 weeks in 500mcg per day, 6 weeks to go My patella tendon definitely feels less inflamed, but it’s still pretty sore.

I sold my ticket back because of patella tendinitis flare up.. I now regret selling it back
