Stray - 4 hours is indeed a decent marathon time, let alone after what you've been through.
I'd offer to run with and play nurse, but suggest LmH may carry the uniform off better than I - Think Bernard Bresslaw dressed up as a nurse in one of the "Carry Ons.."
What - easy miles
Why - Hills instead of 600s yesterday: 6x400 steady climbs, 5x150 shorter hill sprints
last rest - 9 days
last hard - yesterday
Just realised I'm 'racing' the next 4 weeks: Road Relays this week (low key, filling the gaps), Basingstoke Half (steady tempo), First Sunday XC (steady amble), First Hampshire XC (harder run)
Re Ballot, I entered and right here right now I just wonder why with the training for Snowdonia but the fact is I only need to come in under 4.5 hours and have myself GFA. Just once in my life I'd quite like that!
Dustin I love that you 'just realised' you are racing! lol
LMH enjoy the short and easy
What: it's going to be 5 off road miles
why: schedule needs
last hard: last nights 2.1 with faster work mates
last rest: 31/12
Oh my goodness, QoP was so painful last night!! Seriously, left calf and right ITB. Just ouchy ouchy ouchy, more than once I heard myself saying no no no. Did she stop??? like.......
Lyrics: no
What: a-g treadmill, probably.
Why: physio. Probably making a few decisions about where the Achilles is up to. Generally I only seem to be in discomfort after the leg presses, although I felt a few pains when teaching dance this morning! Not quite ready for twisty, sideways movements I suspect.
Will report back later.
Lyrics: Nope
What: Short hop
Why: Niggles and don't want to go too far too soon
Last hard: Walking yesterday afternoon
last Rest: Forgotten
LMH: I wish I could run more too. I love September. The heat is gone and the mornings are just wonderful, with gentle fog rising. Sigh. Maybe next September
Ale: a man of many talents. Dance - who would have thought? If the leg presses aggravate things shouldn't you stop? I'd say leave it if it hurts. Our physios/osteos can only prescribe what they think might work for us but ultimately everybody is different.
Dustin: Ouch re all those races and wabo: ouch re QoP
What: half an hour of xt in the gym / strechting tonight
Why: sooo tired, needed the zzzzzz this morning and had a lie-in
Last hard: boot camp yesterday - I'm bliddy sore
Last rest: 5/8
Lyrics: I think so
Chick: primary school teachers have to teach everything, so English, Maths, Science, Art, Design Technology, Computing, History, Geography, R.E., French, Spanish, Music, Dance, Educational Gymnastics, Games, PSHE and I've probably forgotten something! re Dance we use various computer programs so I either join in or demonstrate. Not always a good idea and this morning it was just automatic to demonstrate a few things. Silly really as yesterday when doing gymnastics I was very careful not to demonstrate!
Re Achilles, the research says, and I know SC will back me up here, that if the weight bearing exercises are not causing discomfort in or around the Achilles then they are not working and the weight needs to be heavier!
Anyway, some cautious good news: allowed to run, in moderation, starting with run/walk and to back off if there is a reaction the next day, or at the time. To continue with cross training and stretches but above all continue with the leg press work and eccentric drops, with as big a weight as I can manage...and yes, expect discomfort from this. Am going to continue to use the anti-gravitational treadmill for the quicker running in an attempt to regain fitness: running on a "real" treadmill today showed how much fitness has been lost since I last ran on June 24th. 1km today with no pain (actually 2 x 500!).
I'm looking forward to being warm in a couple of weeks chicksta!
It is definitely better than the alternatives SC.
Hope you feel better for the ministrations of your QoP Wabo.
Physio declared me in tip top condition and ready to race - no excuses there.
