I managed to run 9km today without having any reaction from niggly injuries that have been hampering my attempts to get fitter.

I hope to get a couple of 5kish runs during the week and perhaps run 10k next weekend... I haven't managed that for about 4 years.

Strangely endomondo, the sport tracker on my phone, has me doing today's run on the 28th April!!! Are the satellites that track me running slow

How do you avoid the injuries affecting you London? I walk so far and then have to turn back as my back really hurts and that just from walking a short distance and a slow walk as well

I was asking as I want to go for longer walks but the pain gets really bad and then I have to stop but if there was something I could do to ease the pain

I listen to my body.

When I feel pain or discomfort I just ease off. I've tried to run through pain previously but it just prevents you from exercising for an extended period. The "tortoise" kilometre today was 70 seconds slower than my "hare" kilometre because my knee was acting up. It was also slower than the kilo that had a fairly steep hill in it .... and I hate hills!!

I will just have to walk until I feel the pain and just stop and be sensible. I was thinking of getting the heat pads to see would they help. I really do miss the walking and get frustrated when I cant do the walks I was able to do

I used to walk up a big steep hill before and had no problem with it but now I find it hard

try using a TeNs machine while out walking,
it's small battery powered device that ease's pain by using electrical impulses to stimulate the bodies own pain fighting abilities
