Didn't get a chance to check in much last week as had a pretty hectic one but good to see some comeback trails on. 2old - glad your achilles is showing some promise. Don't rush it, but sounds positive AA - glad the shoulder isn't giving you gip anymore, the cold water has probably numbed it... Minni - sorry to hear the calf won't clear up, imagine it's very frustrating. If it was hanging off at least you'd know it was bad, but sounds like it's very up and down in being good one minute, and bad the next Carrot & FRC - well done for getting mileague up past 15 already, that's very impressive O4S - sounds like you had a couple of nice days riding. Whereabouts in the Cotswolds were you, as agree there are some horrific steep climbs around? Ant - your 10K pb is the same as mine to the very second! As for easy pace, I agree as it's something I thought a lot about a few months back. I think it does still need to be easy, but then if you're not training for a marathon and the mileage is cut back, then 8mm would be termed easy for a 1.30 HM so now's the time to try it I guess. I had a shocking week last week. Few things going on personally, not great news at work and home, but onwards and upwards. Managed a 7M slow run into work on Friday which was good. If I can do 10M this week, and 13M the week after I'll be on for my HM, albeit won't race it at such. I ache from head to foot today after donning my cricket whites for the first time on Saturday. Spent the afternoon chasing some serious leather but the good news is no reaction through the achilles. Although it looks like a gentle game, you do put all of the weight through it when you sprint after the ball and bend down to throw it in, and when you go back on your toes to defend the ball when batting. Managed a quick cameo of 20 in a doomed run chase but was nice to get back on the bike, so to speak, and enjoyed it which is the main thing. How's your calf getting on Barry? |
