Thanks, low effort exercise helps the lymphatic system to drain toxins.

Have you got a diagnosis yet?

Nope, blood test results back this week though. Hopefully i know what it is anyway or i'll be giving up on London next April.

If I change my log title how will the 'squatters' know where to find it!

They'll find it, like moths to a flame. Call it '50 Shades of running'

It's sh1te, isn't it? All you want to do is get out and train and everywhere you look there's people who wouldn't run for a bus eating, drinking and basically being merry! Bah Humbug :cool:

I have considered it, it's hard for me to tie myself to a class time, that's why I started running, I could do it anytime.

.... low effort exercise helps the lymphatic system to drain toxins.

i was going to suggest a bit of walking, but you might be inclined to break into a run!!:eek:

Wishing you a full & speedy recovery... Sorry to hear you won't be pacing DCM...We'll miss you!!;)

I did it for 18 months and loved it, but I moved and found the combination of the fee and cost in petrol to go to it, too much so i stopped. May be worth seeing if there was a place that did drop in classes near you. Could be just the ticket in keeping the mind + body sane while having a break from the running. Great endorphin hit from it too.

+1 on the yoga. Its the business

Indeed it is sh!te, but after a while you stop caring. I think you have to do preserve sanity All the walking routes around my house have been done loads of tomes now, its time to run on them again.

I'm doing a lot of drinking and being merry to compensate though

My problem is that I can't stop caring, I loved last year knocking out pb after pb, this year I could count all my good runs on one hand. I'm determined to get back to my best next year - see what I did there?

Feel your pain! Had similar issues but seem to have gotten to the bottom of the problems I was asking you about, hopefully I've turned a corner now.

I started doing a class in Westwood called Bodybalance because of some of my issues which I've found great, it a cross between yoga, pilates and Tai Chi.

One of the biggest problems with going through a bad patch IMO is this bloody forum!!!!
Not being able to run and then logging in here to read about people PB'ing and going from strength to strength..... tis not good for the soul i 'tells ya:(

Best of luck with the recovery.

Just following in your footsteps Da! :pac:

My first run in nearly 3 weeks, I would have waited longer to go out but my inactivity sparked a massive I.B.S. attack so needs must. Treatment is progressing well, I no longer feel poisoned which is like winning the Lotto but it has been replaced with exhaustion, I'll take that over the former but I started college today and I'm sure my peers thought I had intellectual difficulties. (Cue: Digger, Ray and Racoon:cool:)

The run was a mere 2.39 miles, I went out too fast and settled into 8:30's but my hr was through the roof, my lungs felt sore and I had a pain in my chest, I haven't felt lke that since I was starting out and it sucks. I'm going to get out every few days and do something similar just to have a bit of exercise to deal with the I.B.S. but won't be in a position to start training properly for a while yet, baby steps and all that.:)

I missed out on the chance to do a practical study on the effects of applying baby oil to the Swedish female volleyball team, everything else just seems dull in comparison

I don't know what to say to you, that run sounded bloody awful. I can't believe how run down (pardon the pun ) you are and how long its taking to get back to strength. Good on you for being patient. I know you'll reap the rewards in 2013.

Thanks Boss, I'm just focused on recovery, I'll return to fitness faster than I gained that fitness in the first place. (I hope ) Plan for next year has changed dramatically, but that's a story for another day.

Welcome back Mr Slow, i hope the road to recovery is a good one and not too long, you'll be back better than ever, soon!!:D

Mr Slow

Ran the same loop today, while there was no discomfort my hr was still above lactate threshold for the most part and about half way through it hit me, my intestines are so swollen with the IBS it hurts to bend, they must be restricting my diaphragm thus making each breath more shallow therefore the heart has to work harder.:) In a week or so it will have settled and I'll have a more realistic idea of how far I have slipped.

2.37 miles average hr 159 average pace 8:29
