Hi Hoping to do this as my first 10k run next Sunday. Not worried about times, more about finishing. Developed lots of injuries recently so off to see a Physio on Thursday to check its OK for me to run. Then doing the Croydon Titsey Trail the following Sunday! If I manage both of these my plan is to look at some proper training to start improving my times. Looking at getting a GPS watch too but will wait for the New Year sales for that!

Looks like no one else from here is! Going out for a short run, about 3k tomorrow then that'll be it I think until race day. Might go out after Physio on thurs but I doubt it.

I did a 3.7k run yesterday which went OK. My knee was sore at the start but eased off and has been fine since. My groin problems started at about 2 k but I didn't need to stop. Shin splints were a bit sore.
Physio tomorrow so lets she what she says.
First 10k on Sunday, hope I finish it.

Had Physio today, boy am I sore!
So I've tight ITB, calves, hips and hammies. Oh and I really overpronate!
She did accupuncture, deep massage (ow!), mobs on my spine and taped my feet.
She's given me stretches to do 3 times a day, they take about 25 mins so I'll never fit them in 3 times a day but I'll do as much as I can.
She's said I should be fine for my 10k this Sunday although I may end up sore towards the end. After that I can then decide whether or not to do the 2nd 10k next Sunday.
Seeing her again in 2 weeks.
