This blog is mainly to help me and Ron (my fabulous coach) keep track of what is going on in my training. Good days. Bad days. Successes and failures. Aches and pains. That sort of thing. But please come visit once in a while to see how we're getting on!

Good recovery

16M - double; recovery and general aerobic runs & exercises
6M am recovery run at ~7.00min/M with pack
10M pm general aerobic run at ~6.45min/M with pack
Weights and exercises

Just some gentle running today to let my hurting quads mend themselves. I was stiffer this morning than yesterday, but was feeling a little less sore by the evening. And despite the soreness, I felt good and springy. I had to hold myself back a bit on the way home.

My knee is still there a bit. I think it's probably 'ligamentitis' of the medial collateral ligament. Anywhichway, it's not changing my gait and will hopefully respond to ice, ibuleve and the passage of time.

I fitted in some weights in front of the telly in the evening. Four lots of: bicep curls x15; straight arm raises x10; sit ups x15; plank-alternate leg lifts x12; single leg reaches x10. The last exercise is an addition on last weeks routine.

Looking forward to another 100 plus week. The aim is for 3 more of these and then a ligher week (to coincide with the National cross-country champs).
