A Running Injury? What injury?

This week I talk about a running injury I inflicted upon myself months ago and how things have gone since then. I also introduce a brand new injury that may (or may not) be caused by the previous injury. Have I lost you yet?

I'm Andy Clayton and in 2018 I did Couch To 5K and instantly discovered a love for running that I never knew existed. Prior to that, I'd always though that running looked like hard work and no fun at all. How wrong I was! Since discovering that there is a huge amount of enjoyment to be had when running I'm on a one man crusade to tell everyone that you can do it too! Were you told by your school physical "education" "teachers" that you were no good? Or did they just ignore you and talk to the sporty kids? That's what happened to me, and so I thought I was useless. I didn't think I'd ever be any good at anything even remotely sporty. But you really CAN do it! Couch To 5K is just the start, and once you crack that challenge there's lots more out there for you to enjoy.
Join me on my journey as I find out new things about running, enjoy trying different challenges that anyone can have a go at and also, occasionally, throw in a bit of utter silliness just for good measure.

Good luck with it, Andy! I'm learning late in life that shoulders can be quite troublesome. I guess that's the price we pay for all of the mobility and range of motion we enjoy, that allows us to be so human and hand-using. I hope that the problem is resolved in short order. And fine job with the 10k run!

Great video Andy, I just hope your shoulder heals very soon, I am now working up to run 10K again by the end of the month by increasing my runs by 1K a week, this week I intend to run 8K.

[@TheRamblyChannel]

Hi Alan. That's similar to how I first got to 10K and it worked well for me. You're very close now. Keep going! All the best for reaching your goal!! 😊

I feel your pain Andy I suffered with a frozen left shoulder for about 6 months. No injections just loads of rehab with an exercise band.

[@TheRamblyChannel]

That's interesting to hear. The physio said exercises will follow the injection (which hasn't happened yet - I'm still waiting while necking ibuprofen by the bucketload).

What a stunning day for a run Andy! 👌 The best of luck with the shoulder recovery mate. I had something very similar after a fall I had last year too. Luckily it only lasted about a month or two. I hope the injection does the trick for you buddy. Stay safe! 😎🤘

[@TheRamblyChannel]

Thanks Ben. It's OK most of the time. Not stopping me from working, so that's a relief. No news on the injection yet, still waiting. But it's not stopping me running, that's the main thing!!

Ah, I remember that nasty fall In the woods. As I recall I commented with with a humorous play on words regarding that unfortunate incident. I realise that was probably a bit cruel considering the agony you were going through so I will refrain from giving you another painful 'jab' re the upcoming injection!! Anyway, fate has had its revenge on myself as I suffered a nasty hamstring tear playing indoor football in January, went back too soon and had a recurrence so that has put a stop to my own gallop, so to speak. Keep the spirits up. With the days lengthening you'll soon be flying around with a spring in your step!!

[@TheRamblyChannel]

Thanks Joe. Don't worry - all jokes gratefully received. It really wasn't that bad. I'm so soryr to hear about your football injury - I do hope you're soon over that. This keeping fit lark is bad for us! 😂

In the past five years I have had a frozen right shoulder and now a frozen left shoulder. The right recovered in about 9 months but the left is lingering and is close to a year now. It is almost there but I can still feel some tightness and reduced mobility especially when I lift my arm above the shoulder I haven't ever considered injections. I'm more in the "use it with care and do regular gentle stretching" camp.

[@MIKECHENDERSON1]

I was prescribed some movements with a big elastic band. Eventually it freed my shoulder.

Interesting to hear your comments. I'm a little nervous about the injection tbh, but am taking the advice of the physio. He seemed to know what he was talking about, but only time will tell!?!
