Feeling great today and then had to decide what to run... ideally I needed to go short and see if there was any reaction... but I also need to maintain the legs with a long run, and the sanity.
So, I thought about the toxic 10... and decided to see if I could do anything about it. 5/2 run walk should get my heart rate back down in between runs, so that’s what I did. No pain so I kept going, and then 80 minutes and 10k were done. No pain on the run, hopefully it’ll be ok tomorrow.
Sorry to hear you have been injured. Well done on the run, you must feel great for getting back out there 💪👊
Felt so good... and I had a little marshal, I was running laps and she was pointing which way to run each time round and cheering... some of my laps were a little random, but that’s what you get with 3 year old marshals I guess 🤣🤣🤣
Aww bless her 😀😂
Great achievement UNM!! 🤩🤩🤩! And you’ve smashed that 50k challenge too!! Brilliant!! 👌🏽❤️
No chance of the 100 again this month... but I’m happy with that one!
With you...I don’t think “no chance” is in your internal vocabulary! More “anything’s possible”. That’s a great thing too!! 🤩❤️
Hehe... it is of course possible... but I don’t like the IC 🤣
No I definitely know you’re sensible enough to stay off the IC! 👌🏽❤️
Glad it's ok. I only braved 25 minutes today post injury but then I was HUNGRY 
25 is good... nice to see you on the comeback trail. I was hungry too... still am.
Thanks. Hungry again come to think of it
I got home at 8 this morning (don’t ask!) and made bagels with melted cheese for breakfast... took little one to school, walked a 5k, came in, 3 fried egg butties, and then down to m&s for a large pot of coleslaw... home, had that with a fork, and now I’m finally not hungry... been sleepy though 🤣🤣
haha, I bet. You sound like me on most days. Bit tired because hungry. Bit tired because just eaten. I just need to time my runs in between!
Yay back up and running 👏🎉👏🎉👏
So glad to see you are back out there. Fingers crossed you get no ill effects tomoz 🤞
No aches yet, which is promising. I have a 5k to run and I’m done for the week, I’ll start back properly on Monday. Can’t parkrun as I’m gonna visit the in-laws and only there one night so don’t want to be rude... so I’ll be freedom running somewhere on Thursday I think.
You’ve achieved your goal for the month and it’s not even the end of June yet! Good for you 💪💪
It was a rearranged goal when I got injured... I’ve been aiming for the 15k weekly awards and last month was my first 100k one. Missed my first 15k week in a few months last week... but I’m glad to be back!
That's fab on the 100K!
Sounds like you judged it just right, so glad it went ok 😊
Yeah, would have run less than 10, and I managed to not earn any high intensity minutes on Garmin, so my physio will be happy with me on both scores.
I’m thinking of doing this a couple more times, kinda teasing the toxic 10 by staying in it... will know if it’s had an effect next time out.
fingers crossed, sounds good though.
Hope you're still pain free tomorrow. Well done!
Thanks... so far so good! Time in wales without parkrun coming up, so a few extra recovery days should help out no end.
Brilliant UNM! Your little marshal was keeping you on your toes with your random laps! Keeping it interesting. ❤️❤️
Yeah... hopefully she will do it again at some point... and of course I mentioned Junior parkrun for when she’s 4!
💪💪👍😁 on the mend for sure. Great little marshal you've got there, she won't let you go back to the sofa 😉
I have no idea who she was! Had a chat with her mum on one of the walks and at end.
Ha! Even better! I assumed she was yours!🤣🤣🤣 you need to book her for regular sessions!👍
Yeah, I liked the 500m laps as I knew how far I’d gone and could leave the watch on the run/walk screen, but it would have become a tad boring for 10k I think. Maybe they should do this at the olympics... “yes we know you’ve done 5k running round this way, but now run over the grass, watch out for javelins, turn right and run the other way for a bit”
It would make good viewing! 🤣🤣
Knee injury - on to the IC
Newbies advice on injury.
Should I be on the injury couch?
Well on the way to 10....
