Surviving running injuries sometimes it never ends

Surviving running injuries sometimes it never ends 🙋🏻‍♀️😫. It’s never something us runners want to do, but here’s how I try and get myself out of the #injuredrunner funk:✅ Seek advice and help. Dr Google isn’t always that helpful (although I rarely resist temptation) and it’s always a good idea to get checked out by a physio.✅ Stop running. I sometimes leave it a week or 2 and see if the problem persists. Some people are lucky with this, I’m not.✅ Have a plan. Recovery has become my plan, it generally works and keeps me motivated when having to do physio exercises every day for weeks.✅ Find another way to stay fit. For me nothing hits the sweet spot like running. I like swimming though and with lockdown have totally embraced daily opportunities to walk. Cycling is often a favourite with runners too.✅ Strength and core work. I’ve let this slide recently but continuing or picking up strengthening and core workouts will help. I love a bit of HIIT & have found yoga to be super helpful (and relaxing) too.✅ Look ahead. This can be a tricky one. Long term injury can mean waving goodbye to upcoming race entries. Plans and running goals may have to wait but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a future goal in mind. Visualising this can encourage us to keep going and invest in recovery.Let me know what works for you! And if you’re running today, be awesome and fly like the wind 😍😎.#wetrun #runningintherain #injurysucks #c25k #iamarunner #irunthisbody #lovetorun #cornwallrunning #runningblogger #outdoorblogger #runcornwall #theroseland #roselandpeninsula #kernowlife #runnersglobe #cornwall #runningmakesmehappy #roadtomarathon #womenwhorun #runningadventure #riseandrun #stravarun #runwithyourheart #runspiration #ukrunning #realrunners #runintherain #runsheisbeautiful #ketorunner

⭐️New Blog Post ⭐️Cornwall’s iconic Botallack Tin Mine - the 2 crown engine houses braving the elements for hundreds of years.Cornwall’s Tin Coast has its own wild beauty. It stretches for 7 miles along the south west coast path, from Cape Cornwall to Pendeen lighthouse.Before our current restrictions I explored both Botallack and Levant Tin Mines. It’s a brilliant place to visit for the whole family. Rich Cornish history, lots of derelict outbuildings to investigate and engine houses, of course. The coast path between the 2 tin mines isn’t that arduous either, and they’re only about a mile apart. It’s definitely worth a visit (when it’s safe to do so).There’s more details in the blog post and lots of photos!
