Training not going to plan

Posted by Injured2010 , 17 April 2013 -

· 95 views

My running isn't going to plan, I have struggled with achilles injury and not hitting my training times. Ideally I would expect to be running sub 16 comfortably over 5k at this point but going to be a struggle to go sub 17 at the moment.

I have ran a few XC this season plus a short distance race but struggled in all of them.

Anyway, I have a race...

Still a problem - frustrating!

Posted by Injured2010 , 21 February 2013 -

· 73 views

After 3 runs I felt a problem, rested 1 day and then tried to run the next and more issues although they are more irritating than serious at the moment!

I have rested 3 days from running, including 1 day of total rest from anything, then completed training on an exercise bike and done some stretching, strength & conditioning.

I have listed my main...

I was right to be concerned

Posted by Injured2010 , 11 February 2013 -

Well, perhaps I pushed it a bit too much or perhaps I needed to so I could see where I was at!? Since my last post I have had two visits to the physio resulting in ultrasound, mobility manipulation and acupunture. The acupunture seems to have worked.

I have had to do a fair bit of cross training including some DWR and work on the bike. I have also...

Rest from running for 4-5 days

Posted by Injured2010 , 17 January 2013 -

· 83 views

I have an acute overload of the tendon/inflammation of the tendon sheath and have been advised to rest for 4-5 days. So with 1 rest day completed today I plan to rest and have a trial 20 minute run late evening Sunday to see how I react. Hopefully I will be fine and can get back running Monday :-)

This year I have to be on my game and this means during...

New Year - New Targets

Posted by Injured2010 , 05 January 2013 -

· 57 views

Didn't quite hit my targets for 2012 so some of my targets have carried over into 2013 as step targets but my yearly targets for 5k and 10k distances remain the same as they would have been had I achieved targets in 2012.

Going to be a tough running year but I like a challenge :-)

Big Month in December

Posted by Injured2010 , 21 November 2012 -

· 113 views

Well after a non running related operation I have a week of rest before I get back into training for a busy December.

I have planned one XC race, one 5km race and two 10km races in a bid to hit my target of a sub 16 and sub 33:30 respectively for 2012. My current PB's stand at 16:21 and 34:10 so not too far off and with a decent 10 mile race the other...

22 seconds short of 2012 5k target time

Posted by Injured2010 , 11 November 2012 -

· 146 views

Unless I schedule a 5k run for mid December I have probably ran my last 5k race for the year and with a time of 16:21 I fell short of my target time of a sub 16 for 2012. Depending on work and how training goes I will see if this is a possibility. Probably looking at the week before my planned 10k race (22/12).

If I don't manage to get another crack...

One last push!

Posted by Injured2010 , 14 October 2012 -

· 123 views

After a poor summer 2012 is turning out to be ok and I have a chance of hitting my 2012 targets for 5k and 10k although they are going to be a bit tough. However, at one point in the year I thought I was going to get nowhere near them due to being out injured so hopefully if I can stay fit I have a chance.

My best chance is the 5k distance as this can...

Life was hard; life still is hard but a little easier with running

Posted by Injured2010 , 24 September 2012 -

I know how I stumbled upon running and I now think I know why.

Over the years I have made mistakes and over time had gone from being a very confident person to someone who questioned everything I couldn’t do. My focus was on all the things I hadn’t achieved rather than what I had. Even now I probably still worry too much about what I...
