First Target For 2011 Achieved

Posted by Injured2010 , 10 March 2011 - - - - - - · 131 views

Pleased to run a sub 20 minutes 5km run tonight during a club race when I finished with a time of 19:48.  

The course was uphill to start with for the first km and then fairly flat after that but the first km can be quite hard.  I had hoped to complete the first km in around 3:45 but managed just under 4:00 pace and managed to keep this pace for the rest...

A Good Week Finished

Posted by Injured2010 , 07 March 2011 - - - - - - · 54 views

I have managed to complete a really good week with 72 1/2 km completed, including a long run of 26km Sunday.

The only downside came on Saturday when I was doing some speed work and despite completing the session struggled to run/jog the cooldown so walked most of it instead and then completed my stretches.  However, this is the first full week this year...

Barefoot Running Saved Me This Week!

Posted by Injured2010 , 28 February 2011 - - - - - - · 67 views

Barefoot running served me well this week! While still struggling with injury I used barefoot to get my runs completed and it has all worked out really well.

My total mileage for the week was 66.46km with 18.16km being barefoot mostly at the end of runs when I could go no further in shoes.  This was 27% of my total mileage.  Just need to get some...

It Is Raining - I Think I Will Wait A Bit Before My Run (Went For Run)

Posted by Injured2010 , 26 February 2011 - - - - - - · 59 views

I was just about to go on my run today (12km) along the seafront.  The weather was fairly nice for this time of year and then all of a sudden it has just started to pour down.  I think I will wait a bit and see what happens.

I am really worried about my run today and my long run (25km) tomorrow because my hamstring feels much better and this is when my...

Expert Running With Injuries

Posted by Injured2010 , 21 February 2011 - - - - - - · 150 views

After my setback yesterday I had my long run to do today and wasn't sure whether to do it or not.  However, after a bit of support I decided to give it a go and go very carefully.

It was a 2 hour run today and based on previous runs when fit I should have been able to record 23km fairly comfortably.  However, with my left hamstring strapped up it...

Arrrghhh Not Again!

Posted by Injured2010 , 20 February 2011 - - - - - - · 115 views

Just as I thought I was back on track I have another slight strain on my right hamstring!

Really disappointed and annoyed with the whole episode now! After my visit to the physio the day before he said the right hamstring was fine although a little bump on the left hamstring which I think is from an old football injury when I had a really bad tear....

Getting Back To Full Fitness

Posted by Injured2010 , 17 February 2011 - - - - - - · 71 views

Looks like I am just about there but still need to be careful.  Following my hamstring injury from my 5k race last Wednesday I have completed a long run and four other runs.  However, all were hard work and slow. I had to really focus on my form and my tight hamstring.  

Tonight's run was much better and more relaxed although not sure of my exact time...

Injured Again But Not A Bad Race!

Posted by Injured2010 , 10 February 2011 - - - - - - · 91 views

Despite tweaking my hamstring (right leg) I am not too disappointed with my run tonight.  It could have been my left leg again!

I was taking part in a club 5k handicap race and started off to run the first 1 mile quite quick and came in at around 6:20, I knew the 2nd mile would be the hardest and I had to dig in for the 2nd 1/2 mile of the 2nd mile but...

Top Of The Pops

Posted by Injured2010 , 04 February 2011 - - - - - - · 49 views

Not sure what happened tonight but I had a very good session in the wind, rain and cold.  Managed to complete a very good tempo run without too many problems.  Slight pain in calf at the beginning but I got stronger as the run went on and I was able to complete the 2nd half of the run pain free.  Hopefully this will continue as I keep up my mileage and my...
