Thank you @quilteryoyo. Going to see how I feel afterwards, but will be sensible.

Thank you @WhatMeRunning. I wasn't sure I wanted to go, but time was short and I made myself. I have my first Covid Vaccine tomorrow so know I can't run for a few days if I have any side effects, so did a short run whilst I could.

Squeezed in a 3.1 mile run, in 29 mins, after finishing work and before picking up Son No.2 from school. April cumulative: 52/100 miles - 4,033 feet of Elevation

3.1 mile walk.

I also have a Rebounder (mini trampoline) had it almost 4 years and it's the best exercise equipment I've ever bought! I love that I can use it when the children are in bed, as it's a bungee rope rather than spring, so really quiet and doesn't wake them up. I tend to do 3 x 45 mins proper workout on it each week, but…

Today: Wall sit: 2 x 30 seconds Sumo squats: 2 x 30 seconds Calf raises: 2 x 30 seconds Static lunges: 2 x 30 seconds Active beasts: 2 x 30 seconds Forearm planks: 2 x 30 seconds Side planks: 2 x 30 seconds Glute bridge: 2 x 30 seconds Single leg glute bride: 2 x 30 seconds Reverse planks: 2 x 30 seconds Straight arm…

1.6 mile walk during my lunch break and 45 min Rebounder workout this evening, including 18 minutes of isometric exercises.

4.2 mile run. Feeling tired, but will do a rebounding session tomorrow and some isometric exercises.

Great advice @WhatMeRunning, thank you.

4.2 miles whilst the children were at Hockey practice.

I had to look up 'hollow hold' @WhatMeRunning, looks tough! I don't think I could do that just yet, but these exercises are really helping me with my running and my knees are no longer hurting.

I'm pretty new to Isometric exercises and I often have to look up the names, as I know what they are in my head/how to do them, but don't always know the official names of some of the exercises ;)

4.5 mile recovery run.

Slow recovery 4.5 mile run, along sand dunes and the beach. April cumulative: 45/100 miles - 3,725 feet of elevation.

Hi @quilteryoyo, it's 30 miles along the South Devon Coastline, here in the United Kingdom and it will be 6,500 feet of ascent. The majority of my running involves trail /mountain and I'm also lucky that I don't live too far from the coast either, therefore I'm surrounded by a multitude of terrains for my training. The…

Today: Straight arm planks: 2 x 30 seconds Forearm planks: 2 x 30 seconds Calf raises: 2 x 45 seconds Glute bridge: 2 x 45 seconds Press-ups: 2 x 10 April Total: Planks: 15 mins Isometric exercises: 28 mins Press-ups: 60 reps Feeling tired today from my run yesterday and today, so only a few exercises done.

11.7 mile trail/mountain run with 2,126 feet of Elevation. 6 minutes of planks and isometric exercises.

Following my 10 mile trail run yesterday, today I did a 11.7 mile trail/mountain run. Legs were a little achy and elevation was 2,126 feet. I have an Ultra Marathon coming up in September and whilst it is still a few months away (unless it gets postponed again for the 3rd time due to Covid) I need to make a start on my…

Well done both @Avidkeo and @ContraryMaryMary on your races! This happened to me in one of my half marathon races, the course was 13.3 miles long so instead of taking the chip time as my official time, everyone went by their watches/Garmin as it was 0.2 miles over. Some of the faster/elite runners even made complaints to…

10 mile trail run, average pace 9:18 min per mile.

Thank you for all the information @AnnPT77, I will definitely check out the Bodyweight links. I have been doing some of the 'MinusTheGym' exercises on YouTube. Easy to follow routines, but the links will definitely increase my knowledge of what to do/how to progress. I'm not a member of a gym and don't have any inclination…

Weighed 120 lbs (8 stone 8 lbs) this morning, which is 2 pounds under my goal weight. Therefore, now is the time to put on my 'sensible hat' and I've changed my goal weight in MFP to Maintain. This has increased my daily calorie allowance from 1,428 to 1,672 calories a day. I am hoping that this will lead me to being able…

First run of the week, so made it count by running 10 miles, average pace 9:18 min per mile with 720 feet of Elevation. April cumulative: 29/100 miles

My Garmin watch doesn't measure 'floors climbed/descended', but from what I understand @AnnPT77, for those who do, it can go a little haywire during changes in the weather i.e. becomes blustery, windy, starts raining etc and therefore does not give an accurate reading of Elevation. But like always, these stats are an…

35 mins Rebounder workout, followed by 25 mins of isometric exercises, planks and press-ups.

Today: Straight arm planks: 3 x 45 seconds Forearm planks: 3 x 45 seconds Wall sit: 2 x 30 seconds Sumo squats: 2 x 30 seconds Calf raises: 2 x 30 seconds Static lunges: 2 x 30 seconds Active beasts: 2 x 30 seconds Glute bridge: 2 x 30 seconds Press-ups: 10 reps April Total: Planks: 13 minutes Isometric exercises: 25…

@eleanorhawkins I can totally relate to what you wrote. I've been running 4 years + and I'm my 40s with two children. My pelvic floor has never been the same since having children. I've done kegel/pelvic floor exercises for years, which I think has made a slight difference, but I have found that there is only one 'trick'…

It's a rest day today, so only a short 1.6 mile walk lunch time.

Wow! @dewit, that's impressive. One of my knees has only recently stopped hurting after I fell whilst running in November and split it open. So I'm taking it easy as don't want to put too much pressure on my knees, but what you are doing is amazing!

Hi @dewit, did you do one wall sit for 4 minutes or did you do shorter reps and that was the total time spent doing them? I did a wall sit for 1 minute yesterday and I found it hard. Couldn't possibly imagine doing it for 4 mintes though.
