Today's Training

[skennaugh]

Good stuff, Al. Don't get carried away and do tooo much.

[Al Fowler]

Cheers.
Well i set off and my inside ligaments started killing straight away and I was about to throw myself in front of the bus that was coming towards me.....then i got a vicious pain in my left ITB by the knee but it only lasted a split second.
After than my knees sort of calmed down abit and got used to it, it hurt all the way round but nothing too major….and my god it was boring running so slow and only being able to run for 2 minutes haha.
Was a perfect night and nobody was about so i had the streets to myself.

Knees where aching a tad this morning but nothing like what i expected - maybe tomorrow it will hit me?

Was good to get out even though i can’t really call it running, more like plodding. Found it hard to be able to stay at a such slow speed, had to keep reminding myself to slow down.

I guess i can call it progress though, but im not going to be back properly running for a good few months yet but it gave me some hope at least.

I'd have stopped there if I were you Al. First step should be short distance, pain free.

It got better as it went along. Just the first few pounds on the pavement send shockwaves through my knees.
I adjusted the way i ran so then i was running alot lighter footed....and slowed it do a notch.

Hmm...watch it. I find when I'm having problems the pain disappears after a while, but will feel it later. Only pain should be in muscles as they become accustomed (and even then, only after). Joints, if fixed should work fine with no pain.

[Ady In Accy]

A warm run up the Dales from Ingleton to the top of Masongill Lane (haven't been there for about 20 years when we used to park up to visit Marble steps and Ireby cavern), onto the ridge of Gragareth, to the Cairn, on the ridge for a bit and then down the flank to Yordas and up to the ridge of Whernside and then down to Twistleton Scar, Beezley farm and waterfalls trail back to Ingleton. Cut it shorter than I intended by around 4 or 5 miles due to an achilles niggle which I am taking to the physios at 5pm. Just over 13 miles and around 2,700' of ascent with hardly a soul to be seen.

Sounds lovely Ady, bit like my run yesterday, 10 miles over winter hill and only saw 4 walkers on a 'tea break' the whole time....lovely

[Dead Edge]

4 miles yesterday in the dark down the TPT with a bit of the Trunce thrown in - Todat, about 7.5 miles in lovely weather from Winscar Res, past Dead Edge trig (where else would you find me ) and back via Snailsden trig. Nobody to be seen once out of sight of Winscar - not that that's unusual - very rarely see anyone else in that part of the Dark Peak.

12*400s in 80secs........lactic heaven.

[dominion]

7.5 miles in the sunshine at around 5pm. Felt like I was running absolutely rubbish, but the watch said otherwise. Roll on summer and some midweek racing.
