I am getting something similar but it's more inside my knee like something clicking / catching.  Knee bandage definately helping, but as you say it's off putting!  Sorry don't know more than that!

That's good going!  Yes I can run after work but have various other things on too, will try and fit more in.  My short runs are 2.5 - 3 miles.  3 mile time is coming down to nearly 30 mins or under, but longer runs are slower (so 5 miles is an hour).  I am trying to up the longer run mileage each time too, so 6 miles the other week, 6.7 this eve, 7 - 8 next week etc.  Last time before the GNR I managed up to 11 and that was fine.

I will try and put it into practice and see how it goes!

Thanks everyone! Looks like I will need to get up earlier then to fit runs in before work.....

Yes it's on 23rd September - do I need to do more short runs then and stick to one long one a week?  How does everyone fit this in with work etc?

I will try parkrun as well, I didn't know about that, but will see if there is one near me...

I did the GNR a few years ago and this year as only the good memories now remain, I have signed up for the New Forest Half Marathon (going for the location).  I am running for charity so just hoping to make it round and raise as much as possible, but I am struggling.....

I am trying to do two short runs ( 2- 3 miles) and a long run a week (upping mileage on this) (though difficult to fit this in).  Instead of the runs I have been sometimes doing circuit training or long bike rides.

I am fine with short runs, but now I am on 6 miles + on the longer runs it's begining to hurt!  Any advice??

Still going to persevere but it would be good if it got easier.....I did ask a running club if I could join, to get their help, but I was rejected as I run too slowly (12 min miles).

Cheers!

I am booked in to the Half Marathon and it was filling up fast when I did that.  Running for charity and battling through training to increase mileage at the moment!
