TR.. I often feel heavy legged after a proper sports massage, I guess a couple of lighter days should re-energise you.
A very pleasant morning here, too (after a much better night's sleep). 11 with a nippier clubmate, so 7.41s for a lumpy route. I can go back to plodding tomorrow!
Wardi - cracking midweek run. Nice to take advantage of feeling good and good weather.
TR - physio will be good in the medium to long term. sensible to back it off yday.
6 miles yesterday in very pleasant evening weather. Feels so much lighter later after a few weeks off. Good to be back but suspect it will take a few weeks to feel like I'm in training again.
Interesting RJR: I suffered similarly back in 2019 after 2 Spring marathons. I was also getting chest pain with tingling in my Left side. I backed right off training for a month then when I tried to return even a 5K had my HR going through the roof & left me feeling dizzy nauseous. I had an ECG & blood taken in June, a 24hr ECG in September, another ECG & bloods in Jan 20 & finally a CT scan in June 20! The 24hr ECG they told me not to run as the sensors might not stay on. I did a short jog & a hard bike effort to test it out though. They don't do the TM ECG on the NHS anymore as it is not a good diagnostic tool apparently?
Shame as I was looking forward to it. Benefits of private healthcare. What could you see on the ECG?
Still running c75-80 miles per week & climbing 7,000' too
Entered Shepperdine Marathon on April 25th Good course with excellent PB potential on a still day, cheap & low key event for runners by runners.

Congrats on vaccine and that marathon looks a good shout. I think you'll go well.
Joolska - I love a good plod these days.
Wardi - Nice 13.5m and third times lucky with Barca.
Joe- Good to see your back running.
Taking it easy here (to the backing track of Craig David) had the vaccine on Monday, rest day on Tuesday, 2 * 4 doubles on Wednesday and Thursday, think I will run an 8 miler on Friday.
Jooligan.. good mileage & ascent as always.
Joe.. welcome back to running again, great news that the test showed no cause for concern.
Jools.. that's a decent pace for an undulating 11m, nice one!
2 x 4m today, cloudy but dry & pleasant temps.
OO - very wise, i should have coordinated fizz and jab, as next week could be affected by the jab esp as i had CV so could be roughed up by the jab.
10m tonight, had a light week and out of nowhere i had an achey ankle when running!
TR If you do feel rough, at least you know its your immune system doing its thing.
Joolska - ooh nice, back to back mlr days, you are building nicely.
Backed up last nights 10m with 10m inc 12x3min this morning, rep 10 or 11 included some killer whippet having a pop and putting a hole in my shorts and teeth marks in my hammy, didn't break the skin though.......weeks mileage looking a but better with the recent 20, now on 46 with tomorrows long run to go.
Jooligan showing his pace to go with the climbing...Nice.
TR - jeez. you always fear a dog is going to do something like that but I've never had a bite. Nice run all the same.
Jools - Nice mileage. building up nicely.
rest yesterday, 8 today. HR probably 10 beats up from where it should be. Lost fitness or maybe some sort of infection bubbling up underneath.
TR.. Hope your ankle has settled down, good session amongst that 10 miles. It's a long time since I had any dog trouble but not nice when it happens.
Joe.. raised HR could be a result of your enforced layoff, fitness will come back.
Jooligan.. welcome to the jab club, hope you stay free of side effects.
10m here, bit of a grey day but dry & nice temps.
Legs were a bit tired after ydays intervals, but a slightly lumpy time on feet 22m in 2.58. Hammy was tight again after yday too, but the crankle was good. A lighter week with 68m, next week might be jab affected so we'll see how it goes.
Kept the handbrake on today, 5.2m easy. Planning something a bit longer tomorrow, conditions look good.
Sun currently shining here so hoping most are taking advantage of nice weather.
Backed up 8 on Friday with 10 yesterday. Then spent some hours boarding the loft which involved some squatting. In combo with the run has made my muscles pretty ache today so it'll only be a shake out for me later on. Feels like I may need another week to build up to some real training.
Joe - i bet you had some achey legs for running today then........Runbritain will hopefully update this week, after Boris's roadmap update tomorrow. I think the minimise travel point still needs clarification, im controlling the controllables and swerving Dorney for Goodwood in 5 weeks.
6m easy, could be another lighter week ahead if the jab roughs me up.
Joe - Easy does it.
A very un marathon runner week for me. Suspect I have early stage shin splints so 5 days of 4m doubles on a soft field surface not to excarebate them. Hopefully a more normal week this.
Another 20 miler Jools! Great stuff, you should be more than ready to step into marathon mode.
Joe.. Nice DIY skills, not sure why so many domestic tasks involve squatting, bending, on your knees etc. Hope you can continue to up the miles gradually without any dramas.
TR.. fingers crossed for Goodwood then. Hope the 6m shake out loosened your legs up.
Lovely morning here, mostly sunny and temps around 9-12 degrees. It was quite windy yesterday but this had thankfully reduced to light winds today. Just over 15m done, felt quite warm with a t-shirt on. Oh, and the outdoor trumpet player was there under his usual tree strutting his stuff which lifted my spirits. Last few 'long' runs 12, 13, 14, 15.
68m for the week, Indian nosh and a Kingfisher or two later.
OO - i remember having a dustbin of water in the garden for a period of time when i started up as an adult, at the end of each run id ease my shin splints in the cold water. Strange as a seasoned runner though, have you changed anything ?
Wardi - excellent stuff, youve been building nicely too. Enjoy the refreshments. My run was slow after big miles yday and too many frothies last night.
For the first time this lockdown I drove a short distance for my exercise today. The council are digging up the only flat footpath round here that isn't lined with shops and I had 10 miles at 7s on the schedule. Plus WU and CD of course. I ran the Notts 10 course and it came out at 6.53s. I wasn't dying on my arse like I normally would be at the end of 10 miles at MP, in fact I was barely out of breath and my first cool down mile still came out at 7.26. So I'm very chuffed with that. The last time I raced the Notts 10 I was slower, although to be fair I had an absolute shocker that day.
Legs a bit tired today so just a 5m shakeout off road. Lovely day up here.
13m run commute home last night, quick turnaround for 9m inc 12x3min early doors today as i wanted to get it done before my jab this morning.
Jab gratefully received, thank you to scientists, govt and NHS. They said it might rough me up as id had CV.
TR - Maybe the fast 10K I ran the other week, that's all I can think, and of course ageing :-( Good you got a decent run in, take it easy now, plenty of water.
A really sunny day here, so with my work to do list done, went out for a 2 hour bike ride visiting various beaches and coves, got home and then a 4m plod.
TR.. 22m in 2 days is good, well crammed in! Great news on the jab too, hope you don't get any after effects.
Jools.. it didn't last alas, grey & breezy today but dry/decent temps so no complaints.
Wardi - the temptation increases! Nice that some businesses are opening up at this time. Nice 10.5.
CC2 - That sounds like a stellar run. Hopefully it's all coming nicely together.
Jools - You seem to be executing a training plan to the tee atm. Great stuff.
OO - As someone 100 miles from the nearest recognised beach I'm jealous of that bike ride and the ability to get some sea air!
I bottled the easy Sunday run in the end and Monday was a rest day anyway so a gradual start to retraining. Happy that I felt much more like it yesterday for 9 miles. HR more sensible but legs still straining a little as I tick them over.
Sounds like a sensible rebuild, Joe.
