Think I will reschedule my week's training from next week and move my rest day to Saturday.
Went and did 1 of my running routes today but waked it,6.5m.I tried to walk it faster than usual to at least get the HR up a bit,but occasionally found I was just walking normal,lately I've been running about 8.45pm,and today was 15.45pm so quite a bit slower,but sure once I get used to walking faster I can improve that,will see what the physio says to me tomorrow.
Hope the physio has good news tomorrow about your recovery.
I see there's a fairly busy transfer list for DD which is good to see. Some locals still waiting for places, perhaps they were a bit blasé about entering early this year, thinking there was no need to rush.
Been googling about walking HR etc and it's tough to work out,but looks like as long as I'm above 50% MRH then I'm getting some aerobic benefit.Depending what the physio says tomorrow I'm hoping to start going the gym and do elliptical or cycling,the council have 1 about 10 min walk from work.
Cal congrats on the 250 parkruns, with so many of them at different ones that’s a lot of planning and grafting that goes into it all. Brighton
Ian sorry to see you didn’t have the race you wanted at Seville but a good performance at Manchester, shame about the final two miles but didn’t cost you your a goal.
Whilst reading through the messages I noticed Rcoutures absence, very sad news indeed.
113 miles for the year, I’m probably around 500 miles for the last 12 months, have a look tomorrow. As expected a fair bit of weight gain.
positives are that I’m still wanting to get back into it. It’s going to be tough but baby steps required, there have been progress without realising it. In Feb did Westmill parkrun 32:12 which felt tough, this weekend 29:18. New asthma pump which I only need to take one puff daily (told the doc I was a nightmare at remembering twice daily). Had a good couple of weeks food wise so all moving in the right direction.
Currently have four races entered, 3 of them are within 4 weeks of each other!
July 6th ATW St Neots 12 hour event
July 21st FVC
Oct 20th Stevenage marathon
I’m possibly only going to do the 1st of the first 3 events as the st Neots would be too close and FVC is the same weekend as the diamond games, not that I’m competing will be a busy day spectating the day before.
Most impressive that you've waded through 1400 odd posts and managed to pick up the salient points.
Sorry to hear you've had a catalogue of negatives re your running, Covid, asthma etc. But already 3 mins off your parkrun time is very good progress so you're back on track.
I was thinking about you yesterday and I even checked Halstead marathon results to see if you there. I so want to get back to do that race again.
I've noted your 4 events. As soon as I read it I thought (with my marathon brain), I'll do Stevenage too, then remembered I've entered Langdale the day before. It's 20 years since I ran Stevenage.
What is ATW Endurance Weekend?
5+ miles this morning. Niggle at back of knee wore off yesterday as the day went on. But when I got up this morning, slight twinge there. However, by the time I'd made a coffee it had gone and I didn't feel it during my run. No shades today, rain on the way, mild and humid though.
I've cancelled Pilates in favour of a run today, different instructor today anyway.
Bad news from Physio,8 weeks no running is the minimum I can expect,potentially longer.
I suppose the ligaments take a long time to heal.
Bit despondent about it all tonight tbh,I understand there are bigger problems in life but I wasn't expecting that.
Signed up to visit the gym on Friday for an induction and see what I can do in the meantime.
Ian, that's not good but at least you have ballpark figure. I still have no idea when my damned hip is going to stop hurting.
I did limp around a parkrun on Saturday (it was a nice one) but that's the extent of my running. Yesterday I just did rehab and the spin bike and my hip was horrible all night. At this point I think I'll probably have to DNS Amsterdam. It seems like a good way off but I have no base and I'm still in pain.
Good news about the gym although you'll be fairly limited for now what you can do. But it will get you out the house and a bit of socialising too.
5+ undulating miles today. Very strong headwind in places, I was too cold running into it and too hot when the wind was behind me.
Gym later, legs/glutes today.
Do you think the rehab is aggravating the hip? If it is arthritis it might be different rehab required?
Got HCA end of September which is looking doubtful at minute,but I'll be happy to run around if I can get in to ok shape.
Yesterday I had a really good run and back was fine throughout the day. Then I had a restless night, back niggling and a terrible run today. No energy in the gym either, I'm not particularly tired.
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever run a marathon again. 😭
Big G - glad your treatment went well today. And that you're being honest with him re potentially running a marathon this weekend. At least you know it won't make it worse if you do decide to run, but you might suffer a while. Don't feel pressurised to run just because you've paid the entry fee. Run if you want to.
Has he done the inspection of your shoes? Any useful advice come from that?
Did you see Davey had to DNF his Windermere 10 in 10, pulled up on Day 3 injured.
Anyway I will see what I can do at the gym,hopefully get some guidance and go from there.

Big G nothing from Facebook, tried several email address but nothing. Been a challenging few years, snooker injury and pf! Heard mixed reviews with shockwave, it didn’t work for me but worked for a friend. Although not ideal have you considered another injection? Means you can have some pain free time and target a marathon.
Ian take the opportunity to do the s&c in the time out, totally get the frustrations and no guilt should be felt about moaning. We all like to identify as runners and not being able to do so is like losing an arm.
Cal still got a bit of time before Amsterdam, is there any benefit committing to a DNS for any refunds?
Stevenage 2034, that's hopeful I'll still be running marathons then. If so most likely the oldest entrant at Stevenage 🤣
Have you lost your Facebook account, been hacked?
Keith - how did you manage that, change of shoes? Better get that taped up for Saturday.
Big G - just wondering if any helpful advice came of that.
Had another restless night, but not due to my back, just poor sleep. My RHR is raised this morning so taking a rest day just in case I'm coming down with something and I had a poor run and lack lustre gym yesterday.
