12 minutes on a track is hard stuff.
Any reps over a km and i generally find them mentally easier to do on the road.

When I switched from club cycling to club running, in my late twenties, I had a good aerobic system and decent quads. I quickly found, however, that I had very poor hamstrings and I was constantly injuring them. It took about two years of exercises to get through this.
No parkrun this morning, about 7.5m multi terrain around the route of the cookridge 10k. Golden acre park, strangely named as it's bigger than an acre and not very golden, had the usual stinking bins overflowing with poo bags, but I diverted my route through the rhodedendrons to get clear. Steady pace again, about 9mmp.
Not a great diagnosis from MS specialist last night concerning my posterior tibial problem. Too much swelling, very concerning levels of pain when palpated, and the muscle attachment is trying to tear itself off the bone...which is why the bone hurts a bit.

Well, I did it way back at black combe by means of an eversion roll of the joint, probably when I got lost in the boulder field. The recovery process I've been given seems similar to one you may get for tendonitis, but he was specific about the bone attachment being the site of the damage. This is part of a pattern of such problems now, as when I did my hamstring at xmas that went on the pelvic attachment too.
Out for a few tarmac hill reps this evening, 1xlong 3xshort 1xlong. The times deteriorated, but that was be to expected, I haven't gone hard for 2wks now and my airway was stinging.
