The Running Thread (formerly How fast can you run a 5k?)
Heart-Shaped Fox replied to Sly's topic in General Chat
I hate them. I had them in the new year to March time. Thought it was because of doing more and more distance too soon. Had a week off and that helped. Thought I'd solved them as had no real problem over the summer until last couple of weeks. They're agony. They do always subside after about 8km but that's long term not helping. Now for some reason it's all on my left leg over my right. I'm right footed and usually it's the dominant leg that gets them if not both 😂 I take cold baths for them regularly and no end of deep heat and ibuprofen gel. I might have a few days off again because of them I think, they're so hard to shift -
Ricardo injured again. Great player, i like the bloke in how he comes across but he has to be one of the most injury prone players we've had in recent years. There can't be an argument to renew his deal when it comes up next (1 year left?). Think we got so much out of him in the champ last season because Enzo had him more as a 6

Will be used purely for my long runs of 15k onwards I think generally. But definitely finding them so comfy. Just need these niggling injuries to disappear too now 😂 -

Thanks for the advice again mate. Did a 5k run in them the other day. Decided to do a marathon today 😂 wanted to go run whilst listening to Lcfc game. Big success in the novblasts, very comfortable 4:12:54. A new pb by ten mins. That's including stopping for a total of about 20 mins for drinks/buy drinks and a train crossing which took forever 😂 Also an elevation gain of 150m 😂 I think in a organised marathon with drinks handed out and in slightly cooler temps I could do sub 3:45. 3:40 under I'd be delighted with. So elapsed time per km was 5:59. And moving pace 5:30. Delighted again not one km split went over 6 mins. The worst part of long runs is when you get towards 30k and then over. The distance clock doesn't half start to move slowly. It's like holding on to a lead and watching the scoreboard clock 😂 -

Crap signing for the money and wages. Wasn't even needed really, was never nailed on first choice CB. Better podcaster than player for us -
Electronic Season Tickets - 2025/26
Heart-Shaped Fox replied to SamA27's topic in Leicester City Forum
Apologies if this has been said here. What happens if you change your phone during the season? As I'm likely to do that this season. It does say on the email it can only be downloaded to one device? Or would the same tickets etc be on my Google wallet on the same account if I got another phone? -

So had two days off 😂 Just done a 5k in 20:24 which I'm fairly pleased about, and that's deliberately holding back a bit with my niggles recovering. Made sure I didn't go quicker than 4 mins per km and 3rd k was mainly up hill too. Think my ambitions by end of this year are still to be sub 19 mins 5k and sub 40 mins 10k. Current PBs being 19:25 and 41:20 respectively. Need to switch to more half marathon training soon though with Pboro half in just over 2 months away -

They finally opened the next block. So small time how we operate it really is -

Thanks for the recommendations, I've gone for these in the yellow type colour. Hoping they become my long run shoe! -

Ridiculous how they release ticket blocks. Just causes a complete rush when the better blocks are open. Again I'm waiting past my priority for a more central block to be open -

Heart-Shaped Fox replied to Sly's topic in General Chat
One thing after the other with me right now. Was back pain, which I think turned to sciatica as was so painful in the left cheek area or upper leg. That's just about cleared but now shin splints are back again which I thought I'd got rid of. Absolute agony they are and it's really demoralising having to stop 2/3k in more than once. Think I'm going to have to rest for longer from running and do something different like swimming to keep myself active -

Yeah I'm 12.5 according to my gait analysis 😂 because of feet swelling when running I definitely need 13s or 13.5 but they're definitely harder to get hold of. There's a ton of variety of shoes out there but hard to gauge whether they're good for long runs usually, reviews are always a bit shite with that -

Yeah I've done that a while ago mate when I bought the Brooks'. Had a gait analysis done. Online is so much easier for my size though than finding what I want in store usually -

Heart-Shaped Fox replied to Sly's topic in General Chat
Can anyone recommend some good shoes for longer distances, I'm talking half marathon or marathon distance? For probs no more than £150 Think my Brooks have had it with about 600km on them, and all my other shoes i think are more 5/10k speed run shoes. Brooks Glycerin 22 are the shoes I've previously had -

Just done a run after a few days off with what I think is sciatica. Was back pain now is aches in my left backside cheek 😂 think it's subsided a bit but still there. I simply can't sit around for days doing nothing, it's boring! Done 16k, in an elapsed time of 1:28, had 8 mins stopping total. Getting shin splints again which is annoying me because I thought I'd seen the back of them a month or so ago so have to stop to shake my legs. Did do a couple of sprints late on in the run at interval type pace. Did do one k in 4 mins late on which I'm pleased about considering my condition right now! Next big run for me is the Peterborough half in October. Hoping to get close to 1:30 if training before still goes well -

Surely they'll open the next block with it being all st's tomorrow. Absolutely ridiculous how slow they're doing it -

Same here. Literally keep checking every couple of hours seeing if the next block opens. Is a regular theme for me with how we sell blocks for aways -

Heart-Shaped Fox replied to Sly's topic in General Chat
I can't run atm. Think I've got sciatica. Ran with a bad back last week including a ten miler. But pain has shifted to left buttock or top of leg. Pain dull but then shoots up the back during a run. Think I aggravated it by running last week, although it felt better post run. I'm actually limping a little bit now. Hate having time off. Don't know whether to grit my teeth and give it a go, had three days off running now already and gate the feeling of going backwards 😂 -
Unreal moment from an average player?

Nursing a lower back injury...hate it, really affects me running especially early on. After moving about it hurts less though. Decided not to go for a PB at parkrun yesterday but help my brother close to 23 mins so paced him. Enjoyed it although he was ****ed 🤣 I need to rest really but I get so bored, probably my own worst enemy. Been to London today and got in a 17k run from Kings X to Buck House then along both sides of the river up to Tower Bridge and back to Westminster. FFS the amount of stop start and zig zagging around people was worse than I imagined 🤣 certainly wasn't a quick run! Also hot af 🔥 They had the saucony 10k event there today, definitely would want to do an event in London especially as marathon is impossible to get into!
