Progressing to half

Hey all.

Last year the plan was to progress through the distances to get to 13.1 for the Wilmslow Half in March. Didnt happen. I got to 10 miles during training and started to have real knee issues.

However, all thats behind me now thanks to my uber physio Ceri and I'm now back at 10km for the first time in months. I used to run 3 x 10km a week.

Well, so now the plan is to get to 13.1 slowly over the next few months so that I can ensure my knee's dont pack in, that I continue to progress with the distance increase and the core strength, glute strength and the lack of quad mobility which caused all the issues last year.

So, just thought I'd say hi, so you can all come along for the ride!

Hi! Sounds like a great plan. Have you entered another half, or are you being cautious? Either way, I don't blame you

[Hidden in reply to roseabi]

Cautious. I realise that this is one step at a time so I dont want to artificially force myself to a date my body isnt ready to achieve. Consequently my aim in the Wilmslow Half in March 2018, which will allow me to gain the core strength i need to be consistent and for that to remove the danger of injury for me.
