Morning all π
I was supposed to do a long run yesterday but I didn't as I was aching too much from my first Jillian Michaels workout DVD in ages. Last night in bed I couldn't even move my head as the front of my neck was killing me . That would be from the "surrenders" π©
It's my own fault for being tardy and not doing the work π i have had a vat of porridge and about to sally forth. Quite how far I get is anyone's guess. Eek π¬
Good luck everyone. Have a good week! ππ
Hope your aches goes away soon Miss W. It's often painful when we get back into some sort of exercise we've been neglecting for a while. But you've conquered it before, and will conque it again
It got worse as day progressed, this was the day after the exercise and my Parkrun. I expected the pain to diminish. I was busy and on the move, and was finishing up cleaning off newly-grouted tiles, cleaning the bathroom etc, cooking etc but I got stiffer and stiffer . Like flipping rigor π
I'm off out now into,the blue for I don't know how long . I could be back soon. ππββοΈ Here we go, here we go, here we go πͺ
Fingers crossed that today's excursion will sort you out and put a smile on your face.
Royal Parks really seems to have triggered some knee trouble. I've never had any before, but they've been tender during my last few runs. Last Tuesday's long run didn't help much, so my right hip was really tender and a bit clicky. I dropped one of my runs and am going to continue to keep an eye on the situation. If this is my body complaining about the increased mileage, then I might consider downscaling my training plan towards the winter marathon. I hope it isn't necessary, though.
That doesn't sound good C3PO . Good decision to scale things back a bit, the last thing you want to do is to wreck anything "for real", so be careful out there. I assume you are having regular "recovery weeks" where you scale back and give your body an extra chance to sort itself out?
rest well and i hope it sorts itself out or maybe you need to go see someone.
Thanks, Tomas and benwill . My Mapmyrun plan seems to be based on 2-week cycles with 4 runs every week. Every other week is an increasingly long run. I figure my woes come from not taking enough time off after Royal Parks. So I've dropped this week's long run, and will just do my other three runs. The decision was fairly easy today as I developed a mysterious cough right after Sunday's run. Annoying, as I enjoyed the run.
Resting my knee of course! and planning next year's race's I just have one more run to do my running clubs Turkey run, always fun and always lots of mud.
I did look at the C25k group on strava today for last weeks results, with my 1 run I did last week I almost doubled the next person's elevation gain which happened to be aliboo70 who did 6 runs and did 567meters I did one run and 1093meters and 567 meters is not a small amount either!
That's a bloody long way up!
Great work Ben! π
I was reading a club run report today based on the experiences of our friend Steve who did your race yesterday. He has done it 15times and keeps coming back for more (143 marathons in total )
It does sound a great race!π
It's a 'here we go again' week for me ... starting training for the Cambridge HM taking place at the beginning of March so unlike the Great Eastern where training had gone out of the window pretty much entirely, I'm giving myself 4 months this time to prepare hopefully way more productively. Not been running for a couple of weeks due to nasty foot injury (not running related) so here's hoping for a reasonably kind start to the journey tomorrow ... have a good week all
Good luck. That's what I did for the HM I did on Sunday and it worked a treat. I gave myself a bit longer (never got to the end of a plan before) than four months but it was worth it. As long as you can keep your motivation - and be injury free - I'm sure it will be worth it.
I had a nice bike ride on Monday, then last night I started my Windsurfing Circuits lunacy. Hard work, some of it I couldn't do very well, but I'm hoping that perseverance will pay off. Some of the exercises are "treadmill running, 3 minutes" so, as I have no treadmill I had to venture outside to run up and down the street, where ghosts and ghouls were gathering in the dusk π±π»πΊ Today I am mostly feeling pretty sore all over!
I did Day 1 yesterday, today I'm "resting" (aka going for my 8k run), and tomorrow I'll do Day 2, which is the one with the skipping!! It says to do both days twice a week, but I'm not up for that (yet)
