Awesome run from yesterday
Are you guys using pre-workouts supplements?

I don’t personally but I have tried them. They make me way too jazzy and very itchy. I really think it’s a personal preference

Decent stuff this morning. I 100% did not want to do this but somehow it got done. I ran for the first 40 minutes and then took a snack and water break then ran for 30ish minutes and took another walk break. The last 10 minutes before the cool down was a struggle

I just finished a 12 mile run yesterday. Literally my last stride, when I caught my right foot, stumbled and strained my knee. Painful front and back and clicking too. Seeing a physio tomorrow. I’m already worried that the Chester marathon in October might not happen. But let’s see what they say.
No bruising or unusual bumps and it’s very painful, but not agony!
The lesson from this is two hours in I didn’t listen to my body. I was tired and dehydrated. I didn’t carry enough water or energy snacks. My heavy legs made tripping more likely.
Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Managed seven miles yesterday, which is a lot for me. I’m hoping to get in shape for some races next year. Running sure does help with mental health!
@Brian1965uk sorry to hear about your injury! Hope it’s minor with a quick recovery.

Did a 10k run today. It was soo hot and the legs tired from a bike ride yesterday. Was very glad to at least finish at an average of 5:10 / kilometer. Very grateful that this is possible

This got me so hard…I divide time sometimes into blocks of 30 secs.

It’s an ACL injury. This week they don’t think it’s a tear. When the swelling and stiffness has reduced a bit next week they’ll decide if I need a scan. No running for at least 4 weeks but it could end up longer. It is what it is. I’m doing a strengthening exercise rehab course and hopefully that’ll do it.
The usual rest, ice, compression and elevation.
Time will tell!! It could be way worse.
At least I’ve got Olympics and Paralympics to distract me!!

This was good work. My legs felt strong! My trainer was out yesterday so no leg day
I’m sure that had something to do with it
@Brian1965uk I hope you heal up and it’s not a tear. I’ve been through that… twice. It’s no fun!

If it turns out it is I’ll be asking your advice on recovery. But, fingers crossed!! It feels sore today but not as bad. Remaining optimistic

16th month in a row of a Half Marathon race today. 2:01 on a trail course in beautiful Anandale, Minnesota. It was a tough course so I’m happy with it. Just got home, time for a shower and a nap!
Now that I’m a watch runner, I don’t carry my phone anymore. Which means, no more cool pictures during the race. But, I snapped this on the way home. Captures the vibe…
