Don’t run commando – My Runderwear review

  I've been wanting to try Runderwear for a while, so I put it down to pure serendipity when I won a competition with Oh My Quad magazine for some stunning pink Runderwear. Confession time: I generally don't wear underwear when I run because stopping to pull pants out of a hungry bum is neither a … Continue reading Don’t run commando – My Runderwear review

I needed to escape for a little while today. I thought I was coping ok. I’m not. I’m having massive anxiety about just leaving the house. I’m really panicking about the next time I have to go and buy food. I panic every time I see people. I know running outside is good for me though so I harnessed Poppy up this afternoon to head out to the next village for a run to deliver a letter from the little one to her school friend and within two minutes of stepping outside my house I had counted 17 people and Poppy was getting really over-excited and barking. I could feel the panic bubbling up, so I came back home and sat on the floor for a few minutes and cried. Mr M, always the voice of reason, calmed me down and sent me packing again, this time on my own, so I could have some peace and quiet, not worry about the dog, and just concentrate on my own two feet. Anyway, once out of the village into the open fields, I had calmed down and forgotten what had just happened. And it’s true, the calm and stillness of the trails really did help me feel better. I’ve pressed reset on today. I just wanted to post this and say it’s ok if you’re feeling stressed and worried and anxious, we all are. But we’re in this together, even though we feel like we’re on our own. I’d say take each day as it comes, but even in a single day, I’m experiencing massive ups and downs of mood and emotion, so I guess we just have to live in the present. And in my present a couple of hours ago, all was still and calm and beautiful, and I just breathed in the fresh air for a while and smiled. Take care. Lots of love to you, especially if you’re struggling right now.
Thank you so much to @bulletandboneuk for sending me some products to try out. I may no longer be training for a #propermarathon but my legs and feet still need some love and attention as I focus more on speedwork, tempo runs, strength and power until we can get back to normality again. I’m looking forward to trying the muscle activating rub - it smells of ginger which is a lovely comforting, warming smell. I’m also excited to see if the anti-chafe cream does a good job, and I’m especially looking forward to trying the cooling relief freeze gel on my feet in particular. I use a magnesium lotion on my legs anyway, but I love the idea of a cooling effect too. #gifted #ad
When you can’t go to running club, running club must come to you! Since our @boltonarena_ Community Run Group can’t meet up at the moment, we have agreed a set of weekly challenges for us all to take part in individually, and share results as a group. Our first challenge this week is to go out and run a mile as fast as we can, which we will then repeat at the end of the month. The idea is that it will keep us motivated to keep training throughout April (we’ve also signed up to the free @wearerunthings monthly challenge for extra motivation). Here are the rest of our challenges in case anyone else wants to join in this month. Monday 6th-12th April Who can get the most elevation in a 30 minute session. Take a selfie with your hill and tag me 🏔 Monday 13th - 19th April A 3 mile or 5k negative split run, where every mile or km is quicker than the last. Monday 20th - 27th April Strava Art challenge. “Draw” something whilst out running. Monday 28th - 30th April Run a mile as fast as you can. Can you beat your time from the start of April? EDIT If you would like to take part, tag me in your progress and use #AprilCRG so I don’t miss any.
