Sorry to hear that PtB, hope things settle down for you eventually. I think that running style is very individual, although sometimes you see someone and wonder how can they run like that. I'm lucky to be blessed with a very good easy style, although I'm not complacent enough to think that it couldn't couldn't be improved, so I've been tweaking it a bit over the last few years to better suit my increasing age. I'm sure that my style is a major factor in having been able to run for so many years at a reasonable level. |

First 20 miler this morning. Was hard work, but I'm still alive. I tried some MP Kms at half way and managed 6 before I gave in!

MP pace in your first 20 miler is brave CW

Hope your life things settle down Paul in due course, and you can feel you have the time to devote to running again in a few weeks. My local 10k yesterday, and tweaked the left hamstring in my warm-up strides. Started the race knowing I wouldn't be able to run it properly and pulled out in the first mile. Not ideal with Berlin 4 weeks today........hoping that 4 or 5 days rest will sort it and not affect me too much, and still get a week or 10 days of decent training in before a shortish taper. |

Sorry to hear that, ptb. Hopefully you can get out once or twice just for a break if nothing else. CW - Well done on the twenty. I wouldn't have done the MP, it makes the long run into a hard session whereas I like to keep it fairly easy unless racing |

Hope things improve soon ptb and you can get back to training in the near future... enjoy the rest from it while you can.. Gus - takeit easy, nothing much to be gained fitness wise now anyway to recover well before getting back at it.. Nice and easy 13miler for me today up to the top of Dumyat hill and back home. Just keeping myself ticking over until next week's ultra then it'll be time for me to take a break from running for a few weeks to allow for a proper recovery before the xc season starts in just over a month

Paul, really sorry to hear about your dog. Always sad to lose a pet. And a much loved dog can be very much part of the family. So my sympathies. I'm same as you in that I can fit running in best when everything else in life is going to routine. When work, family or other things make demands on time, training suffers. So, hope everything gets back on even keel for you soon. Running will always be there to come back to. Gus, sorry to hear about ham. Hope it heals fully soon. Stoosh, you'll fly at G24. Ribenaface (Scott C of Carnethy - do you know him?) is doing it too. Enjoy! G

With running style analysis I always have trouble getting past the apparent money driven greed of purveyors of the latest snake oil

Also sceptical about running style analysis and advice but OTOH I am absolutely convinced that moving to a higher cadence has been immensely helpful to me. Not quite the same thing I know, but in a similar vein...

That's a given, within reason higher cadence is always better
