Unprofessional Runner

Amateur plodder calling myself a 'runner'.

[Unprofessional Runner @runderfool]

Paused my gym membership. I love running in this weather. Summer running isn't for me. I'll be back at the gym when it gets too warm!
Looking forward to building up some miles. #running #backontheroad #runningbug

In July I was up to 11 miles. I maintained it in August but September was a tough month and I've lost confidence. I managed 5 miles at the weekend. Aiming for 7-8 this weekend. You lose it so fast #running #runningmum #fitness

Back running with my club today. Didn't realise it had been over 2 years. Felt great and I was pleased with my run. Really chuffed. Same again next week. #Iamback #runningbug #runchat #runningmum

Why should a #type1 diabetic not enjoy a pudding and inject insulin for it?! Just because my pancreas doesn't work like yours, why should I have to live a restricted life? I'm a healthy weight and have good BS levels... disappointing ignorance #jeremyvine

How do you 'get into' triathlons? I can run far, but not fast; I'm a reasonably strong swimmer; I can ride but don't have a fancy bike.
I like the idea of training in all sports but not sure I'll ever reach an ability to compete. Do tri clubs allow you to just train? #triathalon

@Deb_Henaux I don't know. I think I'm too competitive with myself... if that makes sense.
I also know it will make me push myself past my comfort zone which I'm scared about- even though it is good for me!
Going to try to get to some park runs which might help.

Anyone else have a fear of entering races? I was offered a last minute place for a local 10k race and I know I could've done it. But I wouldn't have done it in a time I was happy with so I turned it down. I wish I had the courage to just go for it! #ukrunchat #run #runningmum

My Freestyle Libre sensor lasted just over 24 hours. Great. The one before was just 3 days so I'm out now and having to wait for my prescription to be fulfilled. I'm struggling with BS at the moment too. This never used to be an issue for me. What has changed? @AbbottFreeStyle

A late run last night. Awful night's sleep to follow it. Whole body feels like it's buzzing. 😖 #run #running #runchat #runningmum

@HollyEdwardsSWH @UKRunChat I can't imagine you ever look a mess!

[Unprofessional Runner @runderfool]

Thank you all so much for your responses. Today I ran 8 miles with not a blister in sight! This is the first time this has happened in my 9 year running career! 😀

[Unprofessional Runner @runderfool]

As I increase miles, blisters on my arches return. I have always suffered from these and have never found a trainer or socks which don't result in blisters. Engo patches= best solution so far but not 100%. Any recommendations? Best trainer makes etc? @UKRunChat #running #run
