Hey! Early 30s and I’m relatively fit - I play group sport once a week, and gym a couple of times a week but I’ve never been a runner. Ive never properly given it a chance… and I really want to. I have a goal of doing a 5k, that’s it!

I basically want some positive stories! I have flat feet / collapsed arches due to genetics, which is why I’ve put it off as I got shin splints last time (but honestly it’s probably from starting too quick and not stretching).

Ive had my gait analysed and got myself some proper trainers and fully intend to warm up / cool down and take it slow.

but would love to hear people tell me “I have the same feet maybe even worse and I did it! You can too!” Haha

Hiya!

I play for a “fun” league where it’s not super serious, but I want to do well.

I play GK and I think I’m fairly decent as have gotten POTM a couple of times. But we always sub in for each other etc so it’s a lovely vibe.

The team I am up against next week, their GS always goes really far out. How do I defend this? do I stick to her and stop her from coming into the D, but then she will just throw to GA who is closer to the goal. Or do I basically defend the edge of the D to stop her getting in that way? Take into consideration our GD has only played once and is very nervous so doesn’t really know what she’s doing and I’ve only met her once so I don't want to start giving orders! Should I tell her to stick like glue to GA?

Thank you! X

As the title suggests! I play a mix of GK/WD as we sometimes sub in for other teams.

I am a UK size 7, slightly collapsed arches and generally just like a little bit of ankle support. For content I do a lot of jumping and generally flying through the air haha hence the support!

Thanks gang x

Hey! I’m very out of practice and haven’t played for about 10 years. In my early 30s and recently joined a kind of ‘get back into netball’ type league. I like to play GK, I’m not super tall - about 5’8 - but I really love the position and seem to do pretty well at intercepting the ball.

Any tips please eg should I stay in the circle, distractions etc

TIA x

I’m mixed and fairly olive skin and want a tanning moisturiser rather than something to apply with a mitt as I have zero experience!

Based in the UK! Thanks

Hey

F33, strength training 3 times a week with the intention of doing couch to 5k (I don’t have any intention of being a serious runner… yet). Does the FR255 still stand the test of time in 2026? I don’t need it to play music as can connect to my phone.

I thought about the VA purely for aesthetic. I just want something to track my movements and be pretty accurate. Thanks so much x
