Hi mate. On Strava. Go to analysis. It breaks down certain ‘known’ parts of your route. 
JWR (0.53k at 6.9%) is easier than Bridge Valley (0.7k at 7.6%), judging by this. Here’s your effort today :

Come on @CyderInACan  put some effort into it - JWR is a doddle ?

@Rob k

Mate. Just seen your Strava from today. 
You’ve done another bloody marathon! Wow. Congrats mate, that’s superb. 
And 4:35 too. Mint time. 
Proud of you bud. I know you’ve worked damn hard for that. ????

Cheers mate, appreciate it 

I actually went out with a mate who is training for a run, he’s running from London to Frampton in 24hrs to raise funds for CHSW. Anyway ive said i would try and run 30 of the miles with him towards the end to help out a bit so was good to see where i was. 

It was a nice run yesterday, got a bit tougher towards the end but not too bad, I’m quite confident i will be able to do the 30 in March. It won’t be a fast run but it will be long, I’m doing London in October and I’m hoping to go for a 3.55 in that one

True. I enjoy running in the rain and also enjoy the cold. But never wind - hate running in wind 

Lovely conditions for running yesterday. I wore trail shoes but the sun had melted most of the slippy stuff by the afternoon.

Good to see this post still going strong you've all given me the bug to do more. Weird to see the mentions of Chase Lane as I actually live on it! There are two routes up to Hawkesbury the one past the monument is brutal the other past Hawkesbury church is a little easier but feels longer. One day I will be able to get up either running the whole way :laugh:.

Keep up the good work!

Excellent. Good to hear you’re active. 
Yeah, I’m just over in Charfield and have ran up Chase Lane a few times, then along toward King Lane.  It’s a lovely route. 
I’ve only noticed a few dwellings up there - a row of houses just up from the entrance to Lower Woods, and then another row just by the turn to Orange End. Aside from that just a few farmhouses. Whereabouts are you? 
I think I might run that route again this weekend maybe. 
Silvio Dante is the other who’s run along there, having run from the Wickwar side of Yate/Sodbury. 
I’ve yet to do the hill all the way up to the monument, which Silvio did the other week. Might have to try that this weekend, doing the route straight on at Orange End.

Nice. Yep, the road up to Hawkesbury Upton is the one with the tasty hill. Although, can’t quite tell but I reckon that route just avoids the biggie. 
If you go straight on instead of that 90 degree right turn just before you head up to Hawkesbury, you should carry on straight for a km or so and then do a right. That’ll take you up the big one.

Yeah i reckon you turn off just before the hill and then go past a church and up a hill there instead, if any of you have ever ridden the sodbury sportive route it’s the first hill on that

On 96km for January so far. Was hoping to easily pass 100km, in fact was hoping to get that up to about 120km with a couple of long runs this weekend. 
But... got a massive pain in the bottom of my foot. Just all along where the toes meet the base/ball of the foot. Hurts like hell today and can put very little pressure on it! 
Not sure what it is or how I got it, but I might be stuck on 96k for Jan, which is disappointing. 
Is this some sort of ‘runners’ injury??

Sounds like a fairly typical running injury to me, the kind of warning that pops up if you do high mileage without proper warm ups/downs ie the type of injury I get!

Could also be that you need more cushioning in your shoes?

Yeah, I’ve checked the shoes, they’re still in decent nick but are on 590k now, so ought to think about some new ones soon. 
Started feeling the foot a bit last Wednesday but I did 2 runs on it Weds & Thurs so probably aggravated it more. Started becoming uncomfortable on Friday and have to say it hurts like hell today!! Can’t put hardly any pressure on at all and it’s much more swollen. 
I wonder if it was caused a bit by running in the ice last Saturday - tend to have to change the stride pattern and the way the foot falls, maybe I just impacted differently on the footfall than normal. 
 

Hopefully back soon, but in serious pain today!!

I’m guessing you live by Brockworth (shireway), it’s a bit muddy down the gravel out after the road to no where. Then North Road and out to the village hall in in Rangeworthy then is that past Tan House and up across the Wickwar road and down Mapleridge lane? Into Horton then you King Lane? I hate Horton hill to usually peal off that way as I like going through Inglestone Common. 
 

Nice route, how far is that? 16 miles I’m going to guess?

Yeah i live in a Pitchcombe so right next to the road to nowhere, 

You have it spot on with the route for that run, just had a look and it was 18 miles when i last did it, i went out yesterday and got to the end of mapleridge lane and i turned right on to the common and back to Sodbury, i was already cold and wet and at that point had only done 7 miles or so so had one of those days where i didn’t fancy the extra miles in the wind!! Still 11 miles in the tank though.

I like running in those lanes, hardly any traffic etc so it’s stress free

I went out this morning and went out along the lane from chipping Sodbury, to doddington and back along chapel lane and through the common. Yeah it’s nice and quiet, see more people on horseback than cars.

I'm set a bit back from Chase Lane down a track but there are about 40 houses on Inglestone Common but quite a few are not actually on the main road, lovely location but not great for deliveries or broadband :laugh:!

King Lane is one of my usual routes, when I was marathon training I used to be run 9k to Chipping Sodbury parkrun then run home again usually into a head wind on Sodbury Common!

I do a lot with a group from Wotton-U-Edge these days (surprisingly brutal hills on every run) so actually run less on my own doorstep, but it you see anyone walking two dogs on Chase Lane that will be me...

How’s it healing mate? Some foot injuries can be prevented by strengthening the calves. I remember being told at running club to do the foot raises/drops where you’re on a step facing staircase. I’m not an expert mind.

Yeah, I actually do those calf stretches regularly, using the steps. 
Still not good at the mo. Very swollen. Was at its worst on Monday probs and gradually going down. Had a video consultation and Doc reckons it’s an infection of some kind and nothing to do with any ‘impact’. Just patiently waiting (and dropping ibuprofen).

Was in enough pain today to finally say “I gotta go see someone about this”. 
 

Foot still painful and swollen. Swelling not reduced since last Wednesday. Been painful for 10 days now! 
 

Anyway, popped into Yate minor injuries unit. Was seen by a nurse practitioner who is a big city fan. We had a good old chinwag. Says he’s had people turn up there before in rovers shirts and he’s told them to bugger off “the only thing wrong with you is your bloody football team”. Ha ha. He knows quite a lot of the “old faces from the 70’s/80’s”. 
 

Anyway, he reckons I’ve got tendinitis. Which is what I suspected. But he also said I’ve got lots of bruising on the bottom of the toes which he thinks is from the running. Thinks I need to get a gait analysis and a properly fitted pair of running shoes. 
 

I know this chat has been on here before but I can’t remember which page, but what’s the place up in Clifton that does the gait analysis, and what’s the make of the specialist running shoes that people recommended?

I don’t think there is a brand as such but they will recommend the shoes that are best for you, for example they recommended a pair of mizunos for me but Asics for a mate.

on a seperate note, was hoping to do 20 yesterday but bloody calf felt tight after 7 miles or so so turned right back accros sodbury common rather than left up Horton hill!! What a shame ??

I also drove down that hill you ran up by the golf course today, can’t wait to go down that again in the summer on my bike even though I’m a bit of a bottler on the downhills compared to some of my mates

Is the other one called Up and Running? 

Yeah injury prevention as far as I know is mostly footwear, stretches and strengthening. Maybe technique of you do lots of miles.

Yep, I’m wondering if it was technique and footwear related. 
A few days before I started getting the pain I’d run 14k in the icy conditions which had me slipping a lot and so not running correctly, plus I did a few km of that route off-road, where it was also slippery and I didn’t have trail shoes on. 
Perhaps a combination of both of those might’ve had a bit of an impact. 
 

Swelling has gone down a little bit today, currently led down with it in the air and icing. Hopefully get the swelling right down tomorrow. Nearly 2 weeks now since first pain!

I went to up and running - they were good, put me in quite a few different pairs before we decided on mine. I found them useful

Only just came across we have a running chat on otib! @Harry up and running really helped helping the gait analysis. Brought some different insoles as well which gives me extra support. Strength exercises at least 3 times a week help too. 

Did anyone apply for the London Marathon and get in?
