Actually I'm probably getting the worst of that bargain. My chest is very flat, straightforward and easy to do. No fiddly bits or anything.

Don't take anything. Pain is there for a reason.

study summed up in the last para

When, then, are ibuprofen and other anti-inflammatory painkillers justified? “When you have inflammation and pain from an acute injury,” Warden says. “In that situation, NSAIDs are very effective.” But to take them “before every workout or match is a mistake.”

Claw are u a member of a gym?

I've found I've built up my distance on treadmill and u can pace urself.

wow - that was actually awesome!  Adding that extra mile has made a huge impact mentally I think.

I started off deliberately as slowly as I could, and, as is the norm, the ankles started to ache at around the 2.5 mile mark.  Usually i've only got another half a mile to go at this point so just push on.  Knowing I had an extra 1.5 miles today I changed my stride slightly, tried to loosen things up a bit and, just after 3 miles, totally ache free!  The last mile was the easiest of the four and, although I didn't time it along the way, was almost certainly the fastest too.  Coulda happily carried on going.  I'm starting to feel like there might be a distance runner in me yet.

4 miles? Piece of cake......mmmmmm....cake.

that's normal, it's why people warm up. the first part gets the aches out of the legs

if I'm doing a 5k race I'll do 2.5 to 3k first as a warmup. if I don't then I'm starting on heavy legs and will probably underperform

[RED-DOG]

My stomach works like that too. If I'm going to have a big fried brekky, I usually warm up with pancakes and cereals

cheers will look into that.

I've been using mapometer.com to plan routes, and my very technical timing system involves looking at the time when i leave and looking at the time when i get back.
