Running

I am planning to run my first marathon this year and I am looking for recommendations for an app that can build training plans and can gradually guide me through the preparation. I was using Runna before but I find their prices ridiculously high, and I am thinking of migrating to another app.

Are there any good free apps or some apps with plans up to 10€ a month worth considering?

I'm going to be following the coverage again. It was a lot of fun following along last year, and this year there are bound to be surprises given the highly competitive field in both the women's and men's races. I've even invited people over for a viewing party! (We'll see if any of them show up...)

So I have found some swimming pool googles with some generic prescription that is close enough to my day-to-day glasses that are good enough to make sure I don’t hit anything or anyone while swimming.

I can’t, however, find a similar solution for running. I rather not use contact lenses or my daily glasses for running so not asking for solutions like that.

Do you know of any generic glasses for sports/running that offer prescription lenses in some generic prescription? Thanks!

I just finished C25K, Week 5, Day 3 last week. During the run, I had a very slight knee pain that I was able to push through without any problems. After the run, I had a slight ache on the bottom left part of my knee only the left leg whenever I was walking. When I tried running or squats, it hurts more than walking. I t

Now I skipped strength training and running two times of this week. I train at Tu/Th/Sat and I already skipped the first two due to the pain. Should I run on Saturday when the pain goes off or should I run next week? Maybe I should rest for longer? I'm planning to get fitted for running shoes next week.

Other details:

• I started in the middle of March
• Running Program: C25K
• Strength training: r/bodyweightfitness Reccomended Routine
• Repeated the first 3 weeks of C25k and also skipped the 3rd day on the first 3 weeks.
• Normal BMI
• I run in worn out knockoff nikes.
• I run in a soccer field or pavement depending on availability. No trails around here.
• Cadence is 150 according to Nike Run Club (app) but I haven't counted it yet
• Pace is 12 minutes/mile or 8 minutes/km. In hours, 5mph or 7.5kph

TL;DR, they may help with recovery, but not so much with run performance.

I just started running this year and I have to blow my nose every 2-3 miles when I run. Does everyone do this? Will it ever end?

So who is illegal around here? 😝

I had fun ranting and hearing your rants, perhaps we can keep this going

Inspired by a podcast of the same name (running is BS) that loves to hate running. This week particularly hate running because..

What I thought was an ache turned out to be an injury.

Early Jan, pushed a bit hard on the tempo runs (4:50min/km pace), my comfortable pace is (5:45/km). Felt a niggle in my inner groin immediately, but wished it away (it didn't go away)

Continued training, limping on one side, telling my partner it was nothing when it obviously was.

Come early march, half marathon I was training for. Woke up, acknowledged maybe it was an injury, promised my partner I'd take it easy.

Broke my promise at gun start, pushed on for first 5km, another 5km, another 5km and the final 6km at target pace.

Made it with a PB!

In return, left knee is swollen, left back is aching like never before.

And fine, now I acknowledge it's a injury and am gonna rest with the running for a few weeks.

Running is not actually Bs. It's idiotic runners like me that make it BS

Hi, I hurt my left hamstring while running in the winter due to not warming up properly and likely not stretching the hamstring enough. It feels much better now, though, and I have tried running on occasion. However, running noticeably makes it feel sore, and if I were to keep running, I think I would injure it again, so I have assumed I should continue resting it. Is this true- is the best I can do now to take up another sport (biking has been fine), wait, and continue only when it does not feel sore after a trial run?

I haven't found another sport I enjoy as much as running, and I haven't seen a physical therapist for this yet because I really did not enjoy seeing one for a different issue in the past.
