Still, 135 days to Paris, room for improvement!
I think I have a touch of that Iain. Pain at front of heel 'pad' towards the inside?
Its not too bad and I'm trying to keep working on calf knots to try and ease it, but also making sure I have a full day off between runs at the moment.
Sticky - top picture. How did you get on in the dash?
Iain - once I got my orthotics I could run within a week relatively pain free, then 1 month on all was ok???
Rob, I'm going to follow your advice, continue massage etc and alternate day plods. That means I really do have to shake the CBA then...!
Have a good Friday everyone.
Thanks EHN, Radar Sal, Orbutt, DLR.
DLR, very pleased with the Dash - a PB of 46:58. That completes my PB collection for this year in all categories - 5k, 10k, half and full!
Didn't get into the Asics 26.2 thing, so hoping to run all 6 parkruns from this weekend for a chance to win a place at VLM!
Hope your PF gets better soon IM2!
Sticky - that's a great year!
Well done Dawsey - must have been one of the last places
Got my personal code yesterday having got in on the second round last Saturday so definately in with hotel and flights sorted too - brilliant.
2013 looking a busy one with Mumbai Marathon (Jan), Thames Trot 50 miler (Feb), Warwick Castle Half Mara (March), VLM (April), Comrades (June) plus a few 5/10k's here and there.
Sticky - what a great year. Terrific!
I had PF for a while a few years back. Lots of calf and foot stretches along with strengthen exercises and it's sorted now with always remembering to stretch my calves after each run.
dawesy & baljc - welcome on board
baljc - some cracking races you've got lined up there. The Comrades - wow
Congrats on getting a place.
Did you get into VLM via the ballot?
How's training for Paris going?
Dotty - Good for you.
I know what you mean about sites crashing. I was on holiday when Paris opened and that kept going toes up. Then when I got home, had a look at Berlin and, as luck would have it , registration had just opened - so I got in. Phew
I'm just into proper training for Paris.
Started a little early to allow for any eventualities. Cold, dark, wet but enjoying it - for now
First of 6 parkruns done - 5 to go for a chance at VLM. Very very pleased with a PB, and the icing is position 1 on the female points table
. Gloating is not optional as this may be the only week I'm allowed to have a big grin over this!
Orbutt, what plan are you using? Has Tricky Dicky come up with a fiendish plan for you? I'm training for training at the moment, trying to up my weekly mileage and build some endurance into my legs again. Up to 40 miles a week.
That is all...
Are you up to 40 or building up to 40?
Iain - 200, what?!
Orbutt - it sounds like you're Dr No making a super evil mutant plan!!
RS - I think Iain was claiming post no 200.
More like Dr Maybe
oh 200 posts...sorry, so used to the paris thread doing that in a day that it's only the 1000s that get me excited anymore.
hee hee hee, Dr Maybe...and "No Mr Bond I have a reasonable expectation that you will die...maybe..."
Thanks Dotty1. It's organised by Lucozade. Run or volunteer all 6 parkuns (any) until end of the year and we're in for a chance of one of 2 places at the VLM. 2nd chance for me after failing the ballot yet again!
My Berlin training must be underway - watched Run Lola Run last week...
DLR - it's on my to watch list but I've never got around to it. Must make up for that
Orbutt. Sounds like a good plan. Thinking of using P & D as well. Just trying to build a good base training at moment so I'm ready for a higher mileage plan than what I followed for Paris. Working on the job/ life/ running balance too!
Run Rob Run.
Much better...!
I have previously followed the 'Run Less, Run Faster' sched....(but I really couldn't run any less than I am at present) -what is the P & D ?
