Just a general thread about running. How’s your running going? What are you training for? Did you get new shoes? Sporting an injury etc.

    Ran a half marathon in June end ended up with what I can only describe as a stress fracture somewhere in my ankle. Out for weeks with pain. Tried to come back multiple times and just re aggravated it. Did cycling for a month to keep up the cardio. Slowly getting back into things this week and its feeling pretty good although I have a ton of anxiety surrounding my runs now :(

    I just want to complete a marathon. Ultimate goal is a trail ultra.

      Great goal! It sounds like you’re doing everything right. You’ll get there. Even if setbacks are frustrating, I’m convinced they are part of a necessary learning process to get to ultra distances.
