Stretch Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 Woke up this morning not feeling up to what was going to be a difficult intervals session...4 X 1mi in 6 min.... Did my first and was feeling the burn... Started the second and just felt dead so I pulled out and immediately felt a little twinge...i ran on it slowly and let it ease up for a few minutes then tried another short speed interval... But pulled up lame after a few hundred metres.... Ran it slowly back home and immediately found a physio for tomorrow morning... But really frustrated and hope it's just a little twinge that can be rubbed out. My question is... Do I continue with my tempo sessions tomorrow and Thursday.... Or run it easy instead... Or just rest. I know what you're all gonna say! I'm well into my program now and feel guilty already about missing today's intervals!
Lexx Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 Rather check It out, just to be on the safe side. Hacc and Stretch 2

Stretch Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 Rest, with an ice cold beer in the right hand and feet up on the sofa....Best advice so far!.. I'm in Dublin this week.. So it might be a Guinness at the pub CobusV and Andrew Steer 2
Chris_ Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 A question to all the old hands (or should that be feet) on this thread. I've recently started dabbling with running and must say I enjoy it quite a bit. I'm building up my distance, but my current PB is 17km at 5:01m/km, which I think is decent. My goal is to complete the Amsterdam Half Marathon in October at the same pace (or even a tad faster). Now, I currently have a pair of Saucony Koa TRs, recommended to me after a foot/running analysis. I have very flat feet, but apparently I don't struggle with stability. Can someone here recommend some nice shoes for a flat footed chap (which I can look into once the current pair is worn down? I'm looking for a nice big toe box and wide sole. I really enjoy the Sauconys, but would like to see what other options there are. Thanks y'all. My wife has flat feet and recently got Hoka Arahi's, she loves them. I'm not sure about the toe box but I'm sure the sole is pretty wide.
CobusV Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 Best advice so far!.. I'm in Dublin this week.. So it might be a Guinness at the pubIgnore Lexx's advise and HTFU. I woke up this morning with a semi stuffed nose and right lower back pain. I already gave yesterday a skip, so I'm going to put this old body of mine through a slowish "test" run to see how it is holding up... Stretch and Lexx 2

Chris_ Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 My mind is in the gutter, but that is one of the best descriptions of a woman I have read for a long time....... yes i see it now!
Stretch Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 My mind is clearly not in the gutter.... Or I'm to busy worrying about my hammie Lexx 1
Paddaman Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 My mind is clearly not in the gutter.... Or I'm to busy worrying about my hammieDrink lots of beer, it deadens the mind to the pain. Rub in lots of ICE MAN or Arnica oil which will deaden the pain a bit. Consider drinking lots of MSM or Omega oils and magnesium. Stretch lightly. Stretch 1
tjommies3 Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 26" for me - I think I should run faster but I'm struggling at the moment. It's gonna take a while the way I feel currently, a serious lack of motivation. After my run yesterday, it seems like the motivation is back :-) Hacc and Lexx 2
Stretch Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Physio gave me the a ok.... Just ax very tight hammie. I've been ordered to rest till at least Friday.... And no speed work till I'm 100% happy with it. Lexx 1
Lexx Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 After my run yesterday, it seems like the motivation is back :-) I'm still lacking in that department. I just don't feel that motivated anymore. Maybe I need to do other types of runs like a Trail Ultra run etc.. Just to get off the tar a bit.
tjommies3 Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 I'm still lacking in that department. I just don't feel that motivated anymore. Maybe I need to do other types of runs like a Trail Ultra run etc.. Just to get off the tar a bit. I think it's due to needing to 'cram' leading up to my race in September. Feeling forced in a way but it still felt good.
Mats Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Yesterday I had one of my best runs since my back injury end of 2014. It's the small milestones that makes all the training and rehab worth it at the end. Andrew Steer, CobusV, tjommies3 and 3 others 6
