Well, things are looking a little more positive this week. Its been two weeks of rest, so started pushing the mileage this week.. Have been doing my strengthening of the inner muscles, and Sian has been great continuing the massage..
Did a couple of small runs in the week, just to check how things were feeling, a three, a five and another three, and it was all good. Went back to see the physio guy on Friday, and 20 mins and £40 later I was told that there was an improvement. Seems like a pretty good job if you can get it, there were two before me, and someone after and that was before 10:00am, 40 quid a time, nice work.
Went to the races on Saturday, so no long walk, just a lot of standing around, so through I would push it with a 7.5 on Sunday. Was pretty successful, things were starting to tweak by the end, but that might just be rustyness, the pain was actually in a different place to the “real” pains from before, so that was good. Iced a little and a massage, and no real pains today.
Need to be careful pushing the mileage now, so out for a couple this week, and perhaps risk a 9 mile or so on the weekend… Not really that long to go before its on, so there is a balance between getting the practice and killing my body again.
Miles: 20
Beers: 20
