Well I did drag myself out for a quick (by my standards) six miler. The first three miles today felt utterly crap, like running through treacle. Wasn't until I turned round at the halfway point that I realised just what a bastard headwind I'd been running into, and positively flew home. Now sitting with an ice pack on the hamstrings though, think I may have overdone the lunges beforehand (not in Alan Partridge style shorts by the way)

Personally I found my run today to be rather pheasant.
Edit: DAMN YOU BIGGUMS
It's fine Edna, we used them in a different context.
Play on!

I started running this summer and run a couple of miles most days. It feels good to run in the early morning but can't see the attraction remaining the same in the winter months. I use the free 'runkeeper' app. It tracks your route and pace etc.

What sort of problem? I had an issue with one knee, every time I'd get to about 4 miles it would kick in.
Eventully found out it was to do with my running style, I was landing too much on the toe end and not enough on the heel. As soon as I worked that out: no more pain. That, and I went and bought some running shoes that are designed for my type of running (as opposed to over-pronators).

It's called osgood schlatters disease, it hurts a lot when I do exercise. That doesn't stop me though, love it way to much. Doctors said if it gets worse then I might have to stop my football, I doubt that will happen even if it does get worse,
How old are you? That's the thing that tends to affect people in their teens innit? And then you grown out of it.

Just ordered the nike+ to go with my Ipod Touch. Had a few months taking it easy after the marathon but starting to build my base fitness up before the real training starts again!

Could be a form of tendinitis if its just a general pain.
I've got Patellar Tendonitis and it can be quite painful.
Could be.

I have a feeling Bobby Zamora once had Osgood-Schlatter's, hence he was rejected by whichever club he was with at the time (aged about 16 I guess).
So it does pass.

Or it could be synovial plica syndrome.

Oooo its a corner
targets targets targets! I would imagine you must be getting bored solid just doing the same distances and routes all the time.
Set yourself something to aim for. Maybe you want to train for distance? maybe for speed? either way there are lots of free sites that will help you put a plan in place to help you acheive your goal.
Variety is what its all about. And hitting your targets and moving to the next will really motivate you

I average about 8 miles a day. I have only run one half marathon but want to run a full marathon by the end of the year!

Running is a high impact leisure and will give you knee and other problems in later years.

Bob, have you read Ultramarathon man by Dean Karnazes? If not then make sure you do - its an inspirational story which will make even your 103 miles seem like a training run!
I recommend it to anyone getting into running - it will motivate you to get yourself out there and believe you can achieve what you're aiming for
