Have you got some good running trainers? How long do u run for? Do you have a break between runs and do you increase mileage steadily rather than all at once?

[wondertec 10]

i find that if i run on the pavement, try a softer ground like in wood or rivelin etc.. also invest in some good running trainers

[foofighter11 10]

Hi Maxxy the session lasts for an hour and there is breaks for recovery mileage varys depending on what we are doing that week but is always increased at a rate you can cope with as for trainers it is realy a matter of prefferance but i can point you in the right direction

hiya

ive been running for the last 4 months after stopping smoking and have made great progress on the running / jogging scene ,what i was wondering is how far do these runs go for as im doing 5 / 6 miles now ,or would i be betta looking at a running club .

 

thanks john

Hi Jonny

well done on the progress , The group only run in the park at the momment just so we can keep people of a mixed abillity together if you are doing 5/6 miles i would say you would be better looking at a running club http://www.xoolon.com/sheffield-running-club these guys do a run on tuesday nights why not give them a go
