Hi Luke, sorry to hear about your latest set back. You'll be back mate, your determination and self diagnosis of your injuries makes this thread a must read. Keep the faith and see you soon.
Cheers Darren, i've remembered i had a really nasty bad back on the day, my dodgy disc was playing up and it was cramped up really badly all the way home. I think it may have added to the problem. I got out of the habit of doing spinal releases and mobilisations before winter races because it's almost always wet and muddy, and i don't like risking getting thorns in my good waterproof cag.
Just a single 3.5m lap of Fewston Reservoir today, felt good, no ITB problems. For some reason i've entered the Leeds 10K in July, so most of my training going forward will be geared towards a fast time in that, as i only want to do it once to get a time. I need to start midweek XC/fartlek back up again and build up to about 8m of distance before anything else. I might do the Fairfield this year, and maybe the Waltz and the Coledale; they all suit the type of training that was working for me last year.
Midweek XC began again on thursday, 2.5m/290', that's me back out twice a week now. My legs hurt the next day, i'm out of shape after that rest. I might go faster in a canoe in certain places.
Today's run- High Crag short run, 4.9m/935'
Attachment 8397
Really nice short route when you need something a bit easy, views from High Crag were nice if a bit hazy. I always forget how much of a slog it is up to the crags, a fairly consistent runnable climb such that you'd feel guilty dropping to a walk on any part of it; nice local route recommended for any local forumites. It was warm in the valley, but there was a slight nip in the air higher up. I cooled off by standing in the weirpool below Parcevall Hall as my right knee ligaments were a bit sore.
It looks like my injury that forced me out of the KWL has gone away, but i've been experiencing an unstable right knee joint recently which has needed a couple of Chiropractor trips to get it whipped back into place. The problem may have originated from a lumbar spine complaint i've had for a while and be compensation related i'm told, the knee joint has become unstable through lack of tension in my right ITB, and has been clicking like mad and the lateral ligaments have been very sore and still are. I've flipped my matress which seems to have helped my back a lot, and also my knee clicking.
Me and Hester are getting married at the Cruck Barn in Appletreewick this summer - this route looks like an ideal pre-wedding warmer upper :)Quote:
