Some early weeks in January were enjoyable and on a roll.
Then crash, bad ankle and lost my way.
I have made some changes to hopefully help me to return to my programme and previous goals.
Going to just trot every alternative day until I can strengthen and return to everyday trotting again.I will continue with everyday gym, and re introduce, plyometric jumps,treadmill sprint intervals,indicative VO2 max monitoring,floor core stuff as well as my 450 all body strength reps.
Self care first if you wish to give to others.Not selfish🤔, difference between having something to give or nothing to give.
The winter speed challenge is off and running and I am stuck in the dressing room at the start line.🙈
Atb with your February plans.
👊💥🏃♀️🏃♂️🌟👏👏

Thanks Jell.Missed that.Will try and catch up on his story.Bought his book Fast 800.Neither read or used it .Contingency plan.Joined weight loss Easter challenge on here.Still making progress on the pot.🙈😂👍
I am very well thank you, fit as a butcher’s dog...for now (pride comes before a fall!) Tenacity and listening to your body are the two leaves I would recommend. 👍😁 xxx
I am so pleased your as fit as a BD and even more pleased you do not look anything like one.🙈😂
Your fab.
👊💥🏃♀️🌟👏👏
Could you maybe redefine what happened. Many recommend taking a week or so off from running once or twice a year. So you just took a break to let your body recover and now you are ready to get back to it. Enjoy all your various exercises Tbae - its pretty impressive
I strained my right ankle and still really do not understand the reason completely.🤔
Seem to have written so many posts on this over the past two weeks and perhaps in these 4 posts there is something of interest.I think the only thing of interest is to try and understand what happened so we perhaps learn and avoid in the future.🙈🤔Whingeing on about my first injury since trotting in a year.
No not a a decision to rest.
I arrived at a situation some months ago that continuous daily running , 5k trot, and continuous daily gym strength keeps my psuedo gout condition dormant.
I do have a reset week each month to about 60% of my 15 hours weekly cardio & strength.

you can read that with age over 65 it implies more is good not less.
I am more than happy with my programme and looking to get back to that.
You take care of yourself, I was a bit worried when you started doing so much after Christmas.... build it up again gradually and take great care too 💥
Yes that’s true,and we are all responsible for ourselves.👊
But that part was great.💥
Got to keep focused, not trying to find excuses.
I did put a huge amount of time, not physical, but mental energy, into the Green Gym Group,recalling all of the exercises and publishing an inventory of exercises, our story, to be thought provoking to develop a way forward, activity and exercise programmes,etc and more.
You can lead a horse to water and all that.🤔
When you get yourself in a hole stop digging.🤔
That’s where self focus is not selfish.🤔
Hope you are good and enjoyed your time in your favourite place.👏👏
I'm glad you were able trot out today Tbae, and hope you are able to fly soon. I am feeling a little lonely at the back of the pack on the speed challenge 😆...
Shorter runs may be the order of the day though til you get a feel for how your ankle copes with running. There could be swelling.
Then you can swoop in and join in later in the month and show us your heels!😊xxx
