My Forum

aaaaaaaaaargghhhh....tried to enter and it's now closed. Had my eye on this one for a while as am a cyclist really but was looking for an early run event to do as have been doing a bit of running lately and am looking for a sub 90min time. I did it in 2008 and enjoyed it. If anyone has an entry they don't want please message me - can give you cash or give cash to charity (with receipt) in lieu if you prefer. Many thanks. 

don't want to go down the costly orthotic route just yet as this issue may go away anyway with my doing more running - I've not run since May and am trying to build up again. Background is long term cyclist but have dabbled at times with running (maybe doing 10-30 miles a week very very sporadically).

I do rate them. Paid a bit more for mine - called '66FIT ELITE FOAM ROLLER' 15cmx90cm from fleabay. I will say this though - go easy with it until you know what muscles you are working on and the effects it will have. I worked on my glutes and was getting into the piriformis area - I think I may've aggravated a nerve and it's quite possible (just like with regular massage) to "over treat" an area.

will add I'm using Brooks GTS stability shoes and don't think that is the issue as have used those on/off for 3-4 years

Can anyone recommend a set of insoles that give lots of arch support? The problem I have is I have very flat feet with very little depth. I suspect the arch pain I'm getting in one foot (which in turn I suspect is twisting the knee and causing hamstring pain too) is because my foot is rolling in AND there is too much room in the shoe above my foot. Only happens in my left foot (I'm very right hand side dominant).
