Not good Hanster, hopefully it'll not develop further.
Long ride for me today which started well but fell apart a bit from about half way. Possibly wasn't drinking enough for the conditions and nutrition strategy went a bit off plan as well. Must be more disciplined about it
One unwelcome feature was the return of the hot spot in my left foot. Managed to wriggle it out initially but it returned with a vengance a few miles further on.
Goodness I had one of those at Lanza last year and it was really painful !!
Yes, like someone sticking a knife up through the bottom of your foot. First time it's made an appearance this season and I'm not sure why.
Mine was down to different shoes I think, yours possibly over compensating for the calf?
quiet week for me with a 1/2 IM at the end .... Hope the weather lasts
Hey Trogs, have you checked that out with a good Sports Physio? I'm not one, before you hold any credence to what I'm saying, but I've had that pain before too and it's a super mega tight plantar fascia that caused mine. Linked to my ever-present achilles injuries and increased training load. Physio and a golf ball sorted it out.
Be careful what you wish for TB
Still got off and pushed one 19% hill for about 30 meters
Hope these tough training sessions make race day easier ?
No, never seen anyone about it apart from talking to my LBS. First time it happened I think it was down to my shoes being too narrow, a new pair seemed to do the job. Oddly before I went out today I thought about rolling the bottom of my foot cos I've not done it for a while but didn't. Dug out the golf ball when I got home but the foot didn't actually seem that tight. Will be rolling it regularly from now on though.
Hanster i had that a feeling for a couple of weeks so i cut the intensity of all my sessions right back feeling good now
I was in the safety of my back garden........I would not inflict that sight on any member of the public.....
My eldest son did remark about not knowing I was pregant
26 miles on the bike this morning for me
Going to try and get a run in tonight after work
Good training week for me good volume of training with lot's of open water swimming also met up with Duda for a swim.
Mainly week has been run focused as my running isn't up to scratch yet but the miles are building as most volume I've done since mid January.
Weekend I did the Great Western Sportive at last minute 101 miles was some good challenging hills very good training in the heat.
I had a good weekend, 105 miles biking on the Saturday, then a hours swim followed by 30 miles on bike on Sunday, all felt good, should probably have thrown in some running.
what are you training for Pingu??
Who's going to the Outlaw Half June 1st as I'm going to go along and support?
