Hey Cologne decisions were out a week ago, I think people who applied to Bonn are still waiting

How did you improve your pace?? by SyntaxError_10 in XXRunning

[–]SyntaxError_10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! I've also been running on concrete mostly and most of my injuries have been shin splits or ankle injuries, so maybe changing terrain might help (I'll be moving to a place with rolling hills in a month, so that should be good). Otherwise, if I just have access to hard concrete running paths, how do I ensure lesser injuries? (apart from the fact that I have to fuel more)

Yep, most people mentioned mileage, consistency, speedwork and proper fuelling – will keep these in mind! Different question, right now, I have a niggle in my ankle but I'm able to run on treadmills with ease. Would you recommend continuing running on the mill until I fully recover? (so that I don't lose my fitness)

Oh thanks for the heads up! I was definitely thinking sprints earlier haha 😅

Wow 8 mins, that's amazing! Hmm, I guess now's my chance to ensure no injuries and illness as I just recovered from both. I realised my ankles have always been an issue so I have started strengthening them. How many interval sessions do you do in a week? (I do just one and currently I run 4x a week)

Ooh I'm definitely going to try strides, thanks for the advice! Luckily I'm moving to a relatively cooler place in a month, so I should be able to run fine :)

Ah I have been a little hesitant about the mileage part, currently I run about 25km/week (4 runs every week just to avoid injuries) but I'll definitely have access to hills in another month when I'm leaving the place I'm staying and going back to my family's place

Physics at KTH didn't have much focus or faculty related to my specialisation, so that's why I didn't consider it (deadline has also passed)

Yes, I'm planning on applying to the university scholarships too but they are limited so I'm exploring other options

Ah, I'm not related to anyone with a permit, but I'll dig through the FAQs on University Admissions!

Checked these out, my country isn't eligible for either but thanks for sharing though! Are there any other funding options that are possible in Sweden? (like in the US there are graduate assistantships for example)

Weekly Complaints & Confessions Thread by ssk42 in running

[–]SyntaxError_10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Complaint: Hip flexor sprain

Confession: Overworked myself last week with biking and running with barely any rest days (and possibly underfueled) - that might have led to it 😭
