I remember one physio just telling me to "run through" stuff, with the reasoning being it's the way forward for my sortof mileage.
While you sort of want to be told you're fine to run through it, you know yourself when it's not right!
Great racing Pete, nice xc-ing Tommy, impressive mud coverage.
2 full weeks off now and I'm raring to go. No shin pain, and ankle seems better. A few tentative runs this week I reckon.
Great photo, Pete. Have some of that Brian.
Alehouse - Most people I spoke to enjoyed the course! Although the guys on Stevie's thread don't seem to have enjoyed it quite as much...
Rich - fingers crossed the niggles are behind you and you can kick on from here (you are my one to watch 2017...).
Anyway, going to read back and see how everyone is doing.
Take care (although maybe a bit late for that), Skinny
Believe me, I was buzzing at that point and giving it full beans in a relaxed sort of way! I doubt Brian is even aware I exist. After all, I've always been running behind him in the past, not least because he always muscles his way on to the front row at the start.
Btw, I was allowed out for a run on Sunday. Despite having stayed up till 1am drinking gin, I was so excited to be running that I gambolled around 5.3 miles of forest trails like a frolicking lamb. Sadly I then had to get on my bike instead and accompanied my coach & running friends round a few more miles of 'this really would be more suitable for a mountain bike' trails. My ankles were pretty stiff afterwards but it was nice to be doing some running.
And big lolz to Mace's charitable poultry fingering. Sad for the marathon drop out.
Enjoyed that race report, Pete. Sticking it to the man. Well, sticking it to Brian anyway.
Not doing any relays clearly but I did the Nationals in Sutton a few years back and we were fairly comprehensively thrashed. Never seen such sharp elbows!
Sorry to hear people suffering with injuries and niggles - keep on with the stretching etc.
That is bad news, McF. Hope the recovery is swift.
I usually find running quite awkward when I've not done it for a week or so, and have doms afterwards.
Hoping to get 10 miles in over lunchtime. Was supposed to be doing intervals but still feeling a little jaded from the weekend.
McF - sorry to hear and i hope you mend soon. For info, the hen fingering did the trick and she seems as happy as ever now
Nothing to report here with the last 5 weeks being 9-9-0-0-0. I'm sure the shin splints will have disappeared now but i can't be arsed
Congratulations on the bimbling Lit, I feel asking how the calves were carries too much of a double meaning ...
HA - I'm not one for stretching much either but through trial and error range of motion stuff after a hard effort seems to work best for me.
Bob and Mr V have still not been able to bring themselves to look at the new forum. I notice Bob has stopped posting runs on connect so wonder if he has fallen off the wagon.
Tommy, as our official go between with Bob, any news?
Also, I have been promoted to level 3.
Also promoted to level 3, just the once so far though.
Lit - how did I know you would be annoyingly bouncy after a lay-off? That'll be what did your achilles!
Blimey McF, that sounds a bit nasty. Hope you manage to get it all sorted quickly.
DT - as it happens I've just had an email from Bob. He's been running and is in our team for the Midland road relays. He's been keeping an eye on the thread so has managed to migrate over to here.
11 miles last night which took me to over 30 miles in 3 days (including 2 races) which is a bit much for me really. Will dodge track tonight and have an easy or rest day instead.
That does sound crap, McF. How have you managed to see a surgeon so quickly. It would take me longer to see a GP!
Thanks for the Bob update, Tommy.
Just did a nice easy 10 miler over lunch. Decent stats given I am still a little jaded from the weekend. It presents me with some confusion for Sunday as I am now running (hr v pace stats) at the same level I was last September and October, yet back then I felt much stronger and fitter and happier to attack a half at 6.20s pace. I am not sure if it is a confidence thing, but I just don't feel it in the same way right now.
Do I trust the stats or trust my own judgement which could well be skewed?
DT - I would not have any stats, so I would trust my own judgment. However, you might consider just running the half to feel and not looking at your watch, then you won't have to worry about whether it's 6:20 pace or faster or slower, just whether it feels like the right amount of effort.
Hope you can get your MRI sooner than that, McF!
I went out for a lunchtime bounce-fest (following the 'up to 6 miles on alternate days' advice) and felt more comfortable than Sunday if anything, possibly because I was going faster. I am seeing the physio again tomorrow and also going to a thrilling new (to me) pilates reformer class.
But apparently it does now, so erm @literatin and @Skinny Fetish Fan hello
Can you both confirm if you got notifications of this, as one had the " " marks in, and one didn't.
Looks like Tommy and Mace have received the" name dropper" badge before, so apologiesif this was covered yonks back....
for my name you have to use the " " due to my space!
