Back session last night.

I had to have a word with my PT for his constant touching of my back. I don't mind him checking to make sure I'm engaging the right muscles but at one point it was every rep on every set. I don't think he realised he was doing it.

He could at least take you out for a meal first

10k trail run tonight, decided to get out and have a blast. Got round in 58 mins, which is the first time in over a year to 18 months I've been able to get to that kind of peace.

Tune to get back to proper training.

Did my first coached club session yesterday in ages. Progressive 9-9-9.

Warmup, then.
9 mins at marathon pace
9 mins at half marathon pace
9 mins at 10k pace

No rest between sets. I was fecked at the end, but did manage a 7:30 mile in the last set.

Talking of running my mate did the London Marathon in a time of 2 hours 41 minutes. Not bad for a middle aged bloke.

Not bad, that’s fecking legendary!!!

Did he catch a bus?

Only 2 hours and 41 minutes - I did a marathon once and I was running for nearly 5 hours!!! None of these so called athletes can run that long from what I’ve seen......

That's insane. Our fastest club runner did London last week in 2:58 and he's fecking quick.

@TriumphFan I'll see your 5 hours and raise you. I did a 50k last year and that took 8 and a half hours. Was fecking hot though, 31 degrees.

Well I've been working on my knee mobility ( 0 degrees - 100 degrees now )

I've also been working on my crutch balance, abs, dips and attempting to retain some muscle in my left quad purely by tensing

I can’t imagine anything worse, I can’t run the length of myself in the heat.

Me neither, with the training of put in it should have only taken about 5 to 5 and a half hours. I vowed never to do any long distance ever again.


Well that worked as I've already done one marathon this year and I'm planning at least one more

I did a marathon back in 2011, enjoyed it so much signed up for another straight away.

Quickly realised during recovery that 1 marathon was an achievement and any more would just be plain daft, so cancelled my entry..

You're a wise man

Parkrun followed by 10 miles at ceasers camp.

It's a quiet afternoon.

I've gone back to the 5x5 with 10 minutes cardio either side. No real reason for the change, I just fancied a swap.

It's got to be done sometimes.

It's important to give a program sufficient time for it to work, but just as important to listen to your body and change if you feel like it.

I went from my 5 times a week high rep workout, to a 3 day a week workout which is totally different, and it has me chomping at the bit to get the next workout done. I have more energy and I'm never dreading any workout.

The 5x5 is working. I went to the gym today and everywhere is aching.
