Off the IC

[Chris9R]

Hello everyone. I’m finally of the IC and back from holiday and today I’ve been out and done a run. The first for 3 weeks due to groin strain and all felt good. I’ve been advised to train in zone 2 mostly and HIIT training.

Just wondering how I get back to 10k for my first run on the 8th of September. Do I just not worry see how it goes?

Glad you're feeling better after injury and managed to run. Now I've never ran 10k, but do you think you would be asking too much of yourself as 8th of September is only a few weeks away. 😊

[Chris9R Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Simply yes and no. I’m thinking worst comes to worst I can Jeff it?

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Chris9R]

You know your own body . So yes do it 😊😊

You'll be fine. Just don't go out expecting a fast time.

As long as I finish it I’ll be happy this time. Stratford Big 10K here I come 🏃🏽‍♂️🏃🏽‍♂️🏃🏽‍♂️

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to Chris9R]

NO WAY! I'm doing Stratford Big10k 👍😁👍

I'll be the bloke in Stratford Athletics Club top and sporting a weird beard!

Not sure what I’m wearing yet lol but I’ll be turning up in my bright orange and cream 1980’s VW camper 🏃🏽‍♂️

Take it easy and listen to the advice of your physio. Don’t be afraid to pull up during the race or pull out if it doesn’t feel good - there will be plenty of other races, but going back on to the injury couch will be no fun. Good luck!

[Chris9R Graduate10 in reply to SueKen]

Slow and steady.

Hope it goes well

I've strained my calf so am on the IC, I'm so twitchy & restless and it's only been 4 days so far :/ Nice to see someone getting back to running!

[Chris9R Graduate10 in reply to Anren]

I have to admit it was sooooooo good to get back out

[Anren Graduate10 in reply to Chris9R]

I bet! I whent for a bike ride on my normal rout this morning as that fine for my calf.

I came off slightly on a big tree rout and the peddle bashed me in my already sore calf - I'm having a run of bad luck
