  • Good idea @csman49 - I'll see what I can find and yes @WhatMeRunning I've had to reprogramme my thinking to aim to get to the finish line rather than ace my 10K time. I'll leave that to another race later in the year where ideally I won't over train and hurt myself! Thanks all!

  • Quick update. I managed a 10K yesterday afternoon with my knee strapped up. I could feel it but was not in agony. Only added about 2 mins onto my usual time. So I'll do what @WhatMeRunning said and just take it nice and slow on Saturday. Thanks all!

  • Hi both, thank you for your advice. I tried a 5K about a week ago. I was uncomfortable but managed it so decided just to leave off my knee until the event. Now with less than a week to go I really don't know what to do. I'm planning to just run it and see what happens but there's a bit of me saying that that's a really…

  • Thank you both. Still trying to get my head round how to optimise my nutrition whilst training. I will have a good read through of the 'stickies' in the getting started forum. My main concern is that I can't afford to loose any weight so I'm trying to keep everything balanced. I appreciate that doing more running than I…

  • Hi - yes - that's what I am trying to do. I guess if I do a run I do need to recoup those calories that day?

  • Thank you all so much for your advice. I am training for a 10K so it would be wise to find out what my 'macros' should be. I can't afford to loose any weight as I am at the lower end of my BMI already. Thanks again guys!

  • Interesting. Thank you. So should it always be a 50:30:20 ratio?

  • Wow! Thats amazing! I struggle to get anywhere near 40g a day! I try to snack on nuts and seeds and always have some protein at lunch and dinner (I tend to have muesli or porridge at breakfast). Maybe a protein shake during the day would help?

  • Thanks all. Yes I am using a 10K training app which is really useful. I'm running 3 times a week and trying to fit in some 'cross training' a couple of the other days (I went Swimming this morning). I have run 10K a couple of times before but that was a few years ago. I know I can do it. Its just getting to that level of…
