1st follow up Orthotics.

my 1st follow up after the Orthotics fitting went well, I think they hit the proverbial nail on the head... really painful tendon or something in the back of my knee. god it sent shockwaves through me..

having another sessions. on weds next week, as I fancy running a marathon on NYE in Liverpool...

have a great Xmas everyone!

thoughts on my injury.....

I've had a thought, as I ran on Sunday a brilliant 11mile fell run up and around Kinder Scout, will very few problems. I also ran to work and back yesterday will a bit of tightening on the final mile, which cleared with a good 30mins of Yoga. but I also went circuit training last night, which was problematic all night, and this morning I'm in agony...
I think the hard floor and the impact stress in the sessions are causing me problems.
so I will bin the circuit training for the next 4 weeks and see how things go...
funny how I was on such a high after running home frpm work when all the traffic was clogging the roads, and now I'm in such a miserable mood as I was looking forward to running in again today... and i'll probably miss the headtorch run tnt with Sale Harriers Manchester...

training update

not much to report for last 2 weeks. averaged about 20 - 25 miles a week. had a few great runs out on the cells, but road work still hurts. Orthotics are mediocre, got numb toes from them, but got used to them now.
hoping.to start running more now, new running.shoes, so will see.
and yes I am getting a little worried that MdS is getting close, fast!

Orthotics fitted

Orthotics fitted on weds, feel weird. putting pressure .on my instep, but I guess that's normal. will take a weeks or so to get used to. been for a little run in them, and rubbed my arch.. need to get some running shoes that fit better with them and throw my old ones out.

started doing yoga, which I think might be doing just as much good too.... watch this space..
