Had a small run down Shanklin Esplanade last night. Ships lights at anchor off shore one side and closed shops and cafes the other, well except the amusment arcades,they were open. Really refreshing, sea air, fine drizzle and the promise of a few pints and a lover supper in the Village inn in old Shanklin.

I'm currently wearing Asics Gel Cumulus 15 which were recommended to me, they have made a slight difference, but nothing major.
Cheers for the replys thought chaps, I will have a bit of a stretch before I go out tomorrow and see if that helps.
I'd also recommend the sis rego powder shake. Mix with half milk and water. Helps your body recover quicker from your run. |

If you're not doing 90mins+ of cardio those recovery drinks are pointless. You'll be pissing money away, quite literally.

There is a school of thought that says don't stretch before a run as your muscles are cold, just go out for the first mile really slowly. However after run/cycle/whatever. Stretching is good also have half an hour with the injured area raised and icepacked, it works wonders ( RICE ) After long runs I also put some compression tights on for a hour or two :gay: |

I'd disagree. I tend to go out running every other day for approx 40 to 50 mins at around 6 miles currently and it does help. |

Does anyone have a recommendation for an energy gel or something to give me a boost over the last couple of miles of my half-marathon in 10 days' time?

I'm sorry, but for that level of exercise there's nothing more needed than a glass or two of water and a decent meal.
You won't have depleted your natural glucose/glycogen reserves sufficiently to warrant the carb intake the powder provides. Your muscles won't have gone into glycogen depletion, therefore minimal muscle will have been damaged and you don't need the protein provided in the 'recovery' drink either.
Edit: in reply to Sippo, not Red Frog.

I used to just drink water, but it was recommended to me and it helps my body recover. I am looking at adding biking when I don't run on a day so that will help as well.

I'd agree with Sippo that if you are exercising every day or every other day then you need something to replace lost electrolytes. If you are only doing one or two bits a week then normal eating would replace nutrients after a few days. Red Frog - look at torque gels or SIS WRS - compression socks/tights are hugely beneficial if exercising regularly. They helped me massively with tight calf muscles and helped me recover quicker. I always have a small stretch before running, or do some gentle pilates exercises to ensure the running muscles are working. ok. I also use kinesio tape on muscles that cause me grief. |

I just bought a pair of Asics Nimbus 15 which were recommended to me after gait analysis. After my first run I had a sore achilles and slight soreness in my calf, which I tore in the summer. However, no problems today- I'm sure it's just about getting used to a new pair of runners. As others have said, stretching is essential after running, a lesson I have only learnt late in life. I try to walk before and after for 5 minutes or so to warm up and down as well.

You'll probably break the record doing it that way

I've entered the Swindon half. Aim is to do it in under 2 hours. That's 9.09 miles average but it's a hilly course.
Currently can do 10 miles at 9.25 ish on relatively flat run. But I have until October to improve.
Got a new pair of runners. Made a big difference, didn't realise how knackered the old ones were. It's like running on pillows now and less Achilles/calf pain.
Intervals today. But at least they are better than hills.
