Just found out that I've won a competition to take part in the London Marathon for the 5th time in April. Anyone else on here got a place?
To be fair, the first three were either through work or for charidee. The last two years though, I admit I've been lucky: I got in the ballot last year and won a place through a competition this year. Definitely gonna smash it and get my PB this year.No!! You ****, i've not had a place ever!!
Got off my cycle and felt my hip. Went running for a few miles the next day after waking up feeling ok and the hip played up a mile from home. Hobbled back. Self-diagnosed it as bursitis and it's still hurting slightly a week later. Anyone had this and know how long to recover? It felt like it's right in the socket. No swelling, just minor pain.
Ah, so I best treat is seriously then. Had ice on it for the first few days, took painkillers for the next 2. Still creaking after 10 days. Giving another 10 before I approach the doc I reckon. Gutted as was getting into my running.Got off the bike at the end of this year's three peaks in September with self-diagnosed burstitis and I'm still uncomfortable. Time for physio methinks.
You did it though.Just done Conwy half today, 1:47. Achilles is fucked, limping round after 5 miles. No more this year for me, rest till Xmas then start training again. Running up the great Orme wasn’t much fun.
I have found with Park run getting out midweek and doing a bit of faster work, like a really quick 400mm, back to normal pace, another quick 400mm really helps when knocking time off.
Took a break of late from park runs, last one was the day before Southampton away, but determined to get sub 20 mins but that will take a bit of midweek training.
Back into it now, done 105 miles already this January, aiming for 150, got mad dog, 2 x half’s and Manchester marathon booked before middle of April. Busy year coming up!!!
Couldn’t run a bath me. Lazy fucker, can just about walk from taxi to the pub
Just completed 150 miles in January and now for a couple of days rest before the ‘mad dog’ 10k in Southport this Sunday, anyone else doing it?
I am not
