Half Marathon in September
Hi everyone,
Former marathon runner here, before I got my facet arthropathy diagnosis in January.
I'm determined not to let it stop me doing what I love. I've bought the specialist running shoes, the Hoka Bondis, and it feels amazing to run on them. I'm back up to slow 5ks and though I wasn't planning on running anything much longer till 2023, on a whim I entered the Cambridge Half in September.
I have a few training plans I have used in the past, but has any other arthritis runner got any specialist recommendations?
Do let me know.
Cheers,
Darren

that's brave 😮
I suppose it's a half marathon....could you walk if things got painful?
All I can say is take it steady and use your plans to minimise the risk of injury
Best of luck

Hi Toni @frogmorton
I refuse to let the condition get in the way of my life. If I take it REALLY SLOW I should be ok. It's nearly six months away so I have plenty of training time.
And yeah, if it gets too much, walking is always an option.
