After my Thursday rant was dismissed because running was deemed to be 'undignified' (which it is when I'm pounding the streets tbf).
Any runners out there in training for anything??
Anyone else constantly with Toe, feet, hip and joint pain??
Feel free to vent your love or loathing of running.  |

Have a marathon in May but nothing planned in between.
Going to head back to some Cornish half marathons later in the year maybe.
Luckily I've been pretty much injury free. Had a knee niggle after my ultra last year but a few weeks of rest and I've been OK since |

Can't you just get on a tread mill? It's softer than road?
Runners toe I've seen solved by tying laces differently.
I do have a hip problem, I have to struggle through my first mile approximately before it loosens up, I then can start running at 100%. (And yes. I do warm up).
It's like it's locked up and then 'clicks' immediately after the click Im fine.  |

I run every evening. Around 5/6 miles. It's my way to release stress and to clear my mind. I also run the London marathon and the great south run to raise a little cash for cancer research and Macmillan. |

I do a few local 10ks throughout the year, I run 5 miles every Sunday morning and cycle 128 miles a week, it's always my thighs that are sore after running, joints seem to be ok, maybe look at the footwear you're using when running, I good pair of running shoes makes all the difference. |

I'm training for Snowdonia trail marathon. Every time I say that I realise a little more what a ridiculous fucking idea entering a marathon that goes over Snowdon was  |

I did a run once and there was a sign saying 'life is short, running makes it seem longer'
I'm doing half of the Classic Quarter this year and a swim in Loch Lomand plus a couple of halfs I imagine.
No pain really other than sore legs |

I did a 27 mile walk from Stonehenge to Avebury, and the hills 3/4 of the way in were brutal, but a mountain is madness...good luck though  |

"Hey, wouldn't it be great to have a Fab team!!
The after-run parties would be fun  "
Lots of massaging I'd imagine 
And going back to the op, if you've got aches from your toes to your hips, then you've got something seriously wrong with your gait 
First "steps" - are you over training and not recovering enough ?
Are your shoes up to the job ?
Get along to a good sports shop that'll do a gait analysis for you on a treadmill.
That's not just for selling you expensive shoes. But will also advise you on running technique.
Perhaps you're over striding and so on.
You'll get lots of advice, often contradictory, telling you you need to run bare foot, or you over pronate and so on. ...
But don't give up |

I used to suffer knee pain until I went and had my running assessed. I got trainers the suited my pronation and got tips to improve my gait and how I held myself when running. I've notice a massive improvement since then.
If you shop around you may find a good dedicated running shop that will assess you on a treadmill. |

Thanks LJH, it's age. I had the gait checked and I'm overpronounced on one leg so changed my shoes from Expensive Asics to almost their cheapest and it fixed a foot problem........
My main issue is.....apart from being stupidly old to start running two years ago, lack of stretching afterwards |

Maybe reconsider your running shoes?
I run quite often and get some aches and pains but not always... I guees it depends on the distance too.
I tend to go for intensity rather than duration cus otherwise I get bored lol |

Age, schmage 
Just look at Ron Hill 
Stretching may actually be a problem.
General consensus, nowadays is not to do static stretching, but dynamic stretching
What cool down routine do you do ?
I always finish a run with a 5/ 10 minute slow jog, and keep moving for a while afterwards |

I love a run but found running the streets or public parks boring so I started trail running, I then progressed to mud and obstacle runs at which I found out I had a talent and have never finished out of the top 10 in a rat race or men's health race. Go me
I find for stretching that hitting a yoga class or just doing it yourself watching YouTube will yield fantastic results and help in the long run |

Aha I only started proper running at 53...... 
My warm down is non existent, tbh I don't cramp anymore....should try a proper warm down though.....I'll try on Sunday after my next long run. |

I started running and enjoy the freedom, I progressed onto trail running like previous comments went and got fitted with decent shoes at a running shop worth every penny, no problems with aches and pains trail running is easier on the body than road running, I also do enduro MTB and gym work outs..
Trouble is running makes me very horney and I do enjoy sex when on a run lol  |

I have started training for a Tough Mudder that's taking place in September . And now I have been home bound with sprained ankle and pulled ligaments and walking on crutchess . I'm so fed up and frustrated as last yesr I had to pull out from tough mudder as I ripped left ham string and my left gluteus . And now is again left leg .
I have to do the Mudder this year as it is very very important and personal to me .

I run and cycle and have since I was in my early 20's. It's a great stress reliever and so beneficial. |
