Lockdown 2021 Run Challenge

I had similar after going up keeper a couple of weeks ago,
It’s the quads that are tight alright @caulifloweredneanderthal

Do a few where you just take it easy coming down (e.g. if on very runnable forestry roads, hold back to a 5 min+ pace) . The temptation is to leather it.

Rest, stretch / foam roll and you’ll be grand. Just a different type of running and your body needs to adjust

Keep the strides short too, but I’d imagine you know all that stuff @backinatracksuit

There’s three things right there that I can’t do

I think I have ADHD, I wouldn’t last 10 seconds with the foam roller, stretching seems like a waste of time when I could be ā€˜doing’
As for rest :grinning:

I’ll be doing well to do this 16km in 90 minutes I reckon.

I only set out to do a handy run and didn’t really check the watch. Was against the wind for the first 8km and once I felt it in my back I pushed on a bit. Was pleasantly surprised when I saw the time. I really opened my legs and expressed myself for the last 800m home.

Be no bother shaving another 2 mins off that either I’d say with a dry day. Looks a lovely flat route

No huge hills but undulating enough at the same time. It was my first time going that way.

A real kick in the teeth from Strava today

You know what you need to do pal

Advocating violence against another Strava user isn’t cool, pal.
