Yesterday did 7 climbs of the Kinder Dozen, stsrting from Ockerbrook to RR then up and down to fairbrook. Difficult ground then along to Seal Stones due to snow clogging the path, Would have been quicker to go down and up again to SS!!. Across platea to RR and back down to Ocker. 5 hourd 18 mins (quite tiring!). Today walked down to City Ground 1 mile to watch Forest beat Wednesday, totally exhausting!!
10 miles, 1,500ft, followed by 6 reps up and down a 750ft hill
sciatica raging, every time I do a long or hard session. I can seriously barely walk now.
Could be problematic this, in terms of a BG - am just hoping the slower pace of BG recces will aggravate it less than the sort of fast undulating running I'm doing down here.
Z, have you seen anyone with this problem? Might be worthwhile seeing a physio or chiropractor10 miles, 1,500ft, followed by 6 reps up and down a 750ft hill

Tried some tentative jogging today...giving Long Mynd a miss
It is possible! Checked my week's training and after my hill rep's this aft I'd managed 10,341 ft this week!
yeah DT - had an MRI too and it showed I have two herniated discsZ, have you seen anyone with this problem? Might be worthwhile seeing a physio or chiropractor
I don't think any amount of physio or any other treatment will prevent heavy exercise from messing that up: you can't put the discs back together and if they're pressing on the nerve then you're going to pay for any sort of rough and tumble.
Only reason I managed to do OK round a few ALs last year is that they were far apart and I could target my training and rest loads in between big runs - and I took diclofenac for three days before each race.
The quantity of training that's required for a BG is another kettle of fish though.
Yikes, didn't realise it was that bad Z!Wonder if alternate weekends of hard training with perhaps a week or two in the Lakes is the way to go. Good luck!
