The name alone, "Hardest Geezer" makes me want to check this fella out. Running is big for me too, for all the same reasons as you. I find stuff like this proper inspiring. Not to copy them, but just their love of running. It's infectious when it's people you can relate to.
I've not been able to run for most of this year because of a knee injury from overdoing it, so I feel you on that.
But thanks an absolute legend of a physio, a few weeks ago I managed to run 1km on the treadmill. Now I'm back up to 3km on the road - taking it slow, being kind to the knee, but getting back out there. It feels fucking amazing.
I need to make strength training a habit too. It's not something you think about at first, is it? But it's massive for preventing silly injuries.
Absolutely watch some of his videos, he's compeltely nuts - it's not for the fainthearted, he has no boundaries when it comes to sharing the horrors (and bodily fluids) associated with this mind-boggling task.
I totally identify with feeling like your own body is the blocker, but physio is a wonder and sounds like you are already out there making massive progress.
I've stupidly been running for years without strength training because, quite frankly, I hate the gym and all the people who go there.. but it's definitely making a difference to my overall fitness.
Love this, Ellen.

Started following on Insta.
I also hate the gym. It's not my kind of place at all. But you’re right, it does help. That said, I've been doing strength work at home. 🙂
