Sunday 26th February 2017 - It doesn't hurt me
in Training
Morning.
Lyrics - It doesn't hurt me
Sounds as though you missed the tree hurdle Dustin but had a good day out.
I'm at that difficult stage when I need to decide whether to try a very little run. I think I'm walking without a limp now and the hip joint has settled but the quad/thigh is still bruised , sore to touch and feels weak after prolonged use (walking). Had an email conversation with physio yesterday and she was happy for me to give it a go with ice and compression afterwards. If I wait until it feels 100% back to normal it could be another week or more. If I try to do too much too soon it could delay recovery. I'll make a decision when I've seen how it is on Grace's morning walk.
What: something or nothing
Why: see above
Last hard: knowing what's the right thing to do
Last rest: 25/2

LMH - Good news that you are at least walking without a limp. As you say see how it feels after a walk and if you do decide to give it a trial just do 5 -10 minutes on a soft surface. Good luck with your decision!
Dustin - Well done at the xc. Those that went from my club seemed to really enjoy it!
What: 22 miles with some marathon effort
Why: marathon training, although I feel like I'm still not doing enough overall mileage!
Last hard: out of memory
Last rest: nearly yesterday, but I forced myself to jog 3 miles
Lyrics, no, but I should've known those from yesterday!
Anyone racing this weekend?
I was going to do Tarpley 20, which is a 3 hour drive to Suffolk. BR had a scratchy throat yesterday and the conditions don't look great and I've had this sciatic issue so lots of excuses meant stay home and run. Have a good day all.
What15.73
Why LSR
Lyrics think so but may resort to Google.
Last hard probably the last 12 months of recovery along with the previous 12months or so of decline.
LMH would it be possible to do an out and back of up to 2 mile total from your home? That way if your injuries become uncomfortable you wouldn't have far to get home or be rescued.
Hilly which marathon are you doing?
Dustin well done on the XC yesterday.
Long run was ok to a point this morning. Went through 13.1 at 1:46 and completed in 2:08 about 18 minutes slower than I used to manage. Will see how things go through March before considering whether or not to do the full or half at Stratford in May.
You're faster than me at the minute postie! Great minds and all that too (see below).
There may be a glimmer of hope. Once I got going this morning I was walking without a limp so I headed out for a slow (definitely not as easy as the pace would suggest) two miles. I don't have a full range of movement in my hip, my quad is weak and my knee felt occasionally as though it were going to give way. Leg didn't feel great on the walk home but after icing followed by a soak in the bath it's back to how it felt pre-run so ice and compression for the rest of the day and see what happens overnight. Fingers crossed this is the start of the road back and it doesn't take long to get up to distance, and preferably speed, again. Physio did say that it was going to be sore when I started running again so it's a question of what I can manage without my gait being wrong and not doing any further damage. The tape is off and there is still a lot of visible bruising so I guess healing is still in progress.
LMH: That is a good start but do take it slowly but great news
What: 4.3 miles
Why: Sunday is a short day
last hard: Yesterday's run
Lyrics: Yes
Last rest:17th(ssh my body has not realised it has missed it regular rest day)
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Morning!
Slowly does it, LMH!
Still a good long run, Postie!
Sensible decision, Hilly. Hope the 22 went well.
What: 36 mins off road. Mud, puddles and windy.
Why: typical Sunday. Longer tomorrow, hopefully.
Lyrics: no
RFJ just read about your daughter, so glad she's ok, though I hope mentally she also recovers well as that definitely can take time after such an accident.
Yesterday was 5.5 hours in a train for a reunion with old friends. Was so lovely to catch up but no time for run.
Today: decided to join the Sunday morning running group despite feeling like I'd rather stayed in bed. Wow, I'm so glad I did. 17 km along a beautiful route and the best bit was it didn't even feel like I had run that far (it does now though!). Let's see how the calf reacts to that tomorrow.
Have a great day all.
LmH - baby steps, at least it's a run!
I think you'll be surprised how little you've lost/how quickly it comes back.
I'll not deny that you've possibly missed the improvements you desire, but I believe you're still capable of a time most of us would love.
Hilly - sensible. After a 6hr round trip yesterday I've decided that it's not worth it for anything other than key races / events.
what - 17 miles easy. 5 on my own, 11 with the village group at a steady 9m/m, mile jog home. Not deny it was hard on tired legs but it's the 17 on the schedule ticked off.
why - schedule told me to.
last rest - 6/12
last hard - yesterday/today
Hope the calf behaves itself emzap. Nice to have a run like that.
Good going on tired legs Dustin.
We won't tell if you don't Poppy:-)
Right decision, hilly.
Nice 17k em.
And good long runs postie abd Dustin.
What: 7 miles and some yoga to cool down
Why: good stuff for body and mind
Last hard: ages ago
Last rest: 17/2
Lyrics: yes, great artist
pp - Manchester was the plan, but not sure after today. Set off for 22 but the issue I've had with glute/hamstring/sciatica prevented being able to extend my leg, so had to abandon run at 4 miles. Hopefully, physio tomorrow will help, but mileage the last few weeks hasn't been good and now I'm losing confidence.
Sounds like a nice run, emzap!
Good going Dustin after xc yesterday!
So I'm not quite sure if I'm injured, but running was way too uncomfortable this morning. My heart rate shot up even at a slow pace as the effort to extend the leg was too much. Managed to send a FB message to physio and got an appointment for after work tomorrow.
why: busy day yesterday
last hard: getting going
lyrics: no
