in Training
Morning.
Lyrics - Oh one more drink and then I'll go
Any progress with finding someone to see about your knee Donaldo?
What: short and easy
Why: ran long yesterday/throat is sore
Last hard: resolving kitchen issues (still rumbling on)
Last rest: 14/10

What: short run, long Pilates
Why: Tuesday

Last hard : Saturday

Lyrics : no :-)
Managing the body is a life of compromise and yet becomes strangely normal for so many of us
Donaldo: A cracking phrase, instantly understood :-)
Ale: Steady!
Dustin: We have MAS tests at the club tonight where I'll be doing min. i.e. watching :-) One I wanted to do but good one to miss!
Careful with those lurgy LMH
Trainers in the machine Chicksta? Brave, even if it is a machine with a trainer cycle. I usually just hose and leave.
Knee update: Just a constant ache but cannot bend through 90 without serious discomfort. Hourly patella manipulation and ongoing anti-inflammatory. Driving is worst as can't stretch it out and it's about 1 hour each way. Improving every night however. It's going to be a long road back especially as I get the munchies when not running. Awaiting QoP appt for some masochistic assistance. Will do Riverfront parkrun Saturday as there's an ambassador meet up afterwards and tail walk the next two weeks. Can't see any running before 1st week of December and then short and slow at best.
Lyrics: Nope
SC: I hope the knee slowly gets better for you and QoP can fit you in sooner rather than later.
What; 8 miles
Why: Body wanted to
Last hard: Getting out of bed
Lyrics: Nope
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
It sure does Gobi.
SC - sounds as though you're making progress with it albeit more slowly than you'd like. Is walking ok? If so I'd do as much of that as you can - helps keep the weight down too - or at least it worked for me when I couldn't run. I wouldn't washing machine trainers I wanted to run in again either - isn't it supposed to do something detrimental to the cushioning?
Nice to have a willing body Poppy!
You've been very good making time for and sticking with the Pilates Alehouse.
Easy does it Dustin.
SC: That's really bad news. But the bit of improvement that you can see should give you hope. Fingers crossed.
LMH: Oh no, I had hoped your kitchen woes were now a thing of the past.
Careful, Dustin.
Ale: Should really run if the Achilles is grumbling again? The odd non-running day might help ...
Right you are.
What: 10 miles
Why: it's a distance I like
Last hard: last couple of miles on Sunday
Last rest: 9/11
Lyrics: no
Sorry been AWOL again
Cross country in Coventry on Saturday, managed to miss the rain showers but it was hard. Last place for club!
Yesterday 5 x 400 m followed by 2 x 600 m with 200 m recovery. Leg was ok till last 600.
Today spin (if I can get into the gym)
Last hard: all of the above
Lyrics: nope
Have a lovely evening all
Sounds tough, Emz!
SC: steady to you too!
Gobi is correct. And even more correct as one gets older.
Chick: when it is the Achilles niggling I am not too concerned as long as I work on stretching the tendon; what I believe is a slight muscle strain in the calf is harder to manage and it is getting that balance right between stretching, strengthening and massaging, or so the ex GB team doctor told me on Saturday evening!
LMH: can't believe how good I have been with the Pilates! I do a long session on a Tuesday and at least two shorter sessions in the week, plus other gym work. Am becoming far more flexible which I hope will help control these niggles, at least. Was much more flexible as a steeplechaser in my twenties and then seemed to stop doing the exercises for a good ten years. Tell me why I didn't do more of this when I was told to at 40, rather than wait until 64! Hope you are all listening!
Off to fitness suite shortly.
Ale where do you know what exercises to do?
