My Achilles was at me last week and lots of icing sorted it out. It's like if i don't have an ache somewhere at this stage i now get worriedsunflowerRo wrote: »Sorry to hear that Nules. Remember I was saying mine was at me the other day. I googled some stretches for hip flexors (Orla's advice) and have got a lot more relief. Maybe try that?
I'm here icing my Achilles. I'm hoping this is a temporary glitch
Went back to pilates last night and that helped.
Thanks rubyk went well at physio today. Legs were stretched this way and that way and got a good old rub down. So was told to try a few miles tomorrow to see. Just really aches and pains no injury as suchBest of luck with the physio Nules10, you've been putting in great work. Hopefully you'll be 100% again asap.

Thursday September 15th
3 miles in 32:02 pace 10:36
Advised to do this on grass so went to football pitches and did loops.... god the boredom. Hmm leg still had a bit of pain... more of a dull ache as opposed to a stabbing pain.. so some progress i suppose. The ache was there for nearly 2 miles but eased for the last mile. I will decide on the half on saturday morning. may go start it and if i am not right pull out. But i am still hopeful that another days rest ( and pill popping :rolleyes:) will do it the world of good. If not i will be there cheering everyone else on at the hill 0 -

Dublin Half Marathon 17th September 2011
After much will i won't i run this i decided to go in and start it at least. Left groin had given me bother over the last week and i didn't want to make it worse. Headed in this morning with the intention of just running it as an LSR. But when you get there its very hard not to get sucked into racing it. So i decided to go out with the 2 hr pacers for as long as i could. I managed to keep them well within sight until mile 7. Mile 1 came in at 9:30 and m2 at 9:04 Miles3/4/5 about pace 9:15. Mile6 slowed down a good bit to 9:46, it was at this point in the 10 miler i started to fade :rolleyes:Mile 7 9:34 and i guess at this point i knew the legs didnt have it in them for a sub2. miles 8/9/10/11 averaged about 10:20. Mile 12 i picked up the pace again at 9:38 and 13 was 10:07 last 0.1 went as fast as i could at 8:23. I actually enjoyed the course the hills didn't bother me but that running up and down chesterfield did... saw jcsmum on the other side looking very comfortable and had a big cheer for me that spurred me on. I am happy the leg held up.
Overall 13.1 miles in 2:07:49 pace 9:44
I will have to come up with a post marathon plan to tackle the sub 2 hr half. But for now roll on the big one

Sorry to read that you are still in bother but keep the faith! You've the miles done, and fingers crossed by the end of this week you'll be back out there!You can shorten the taper by a week as well now that you have had a couple of weeks off.
Exactly what pistol said!
I lost the bones of 3 weeks training just before last years marathon. The hardest part was keeping my head straight and not loosing the plot
. I got to the startline, and more importantly the finish line. 0 -

Thanks Rubyk that is good to know as it will be nearly 3 weeks this saturday that i will have lost. Leg no better today and off to PT tomorrow again. How did you train after you lost the 3 weeks did you start back at the week you got injured and work from there.0 -
thanks ray. Just getting so frustrated sitting around and leg just not improving at all. So i am hoping this weekend to get out and do something on saturday. Any idea what mileage i should aim for as an LSR on saturday... anyone???You've already done an 18 and a 20 mile run - if you can just recover your fitness to where you were a few weeks ago, you'll be fine. 0 -

Fingers crossed you get on well with the PT tomorrow.
Re. training, I didn't get a chance to get back into training after the injury hit the end of September. I foolishly didn't listen to the physio, and went for one last painfull 20 miler around 4th Oct. That banjaxed me more, I just got a slow 3 miler done on the Thurs before the marathon.
Once your physio gives you the go-ahead, ask them to look over the rest of your training plan, to see what is the best way of carrying on.
Best of luck 0 -

Hey Nules10, hows the leg today? Hope you got on ok with your physio
Oh i just don't know anymore. A pretty torturous session the other night with the PT. And although i felt better the day after i think the pain has re appeared today or that could all just be in my head either :rolleyes: Saturday will tell. I am to try a run then. SO until then i guess i just need to keep the head. Do you know is it better to go to a Physical Therapist as i have been attending or a physiotherapist

Sorry you are still not sorted I can't be of much help re. physical/physio. But, TBH, if you are anyway unhappy with the current diagnosis/recovery, go for a second opion. You have nothing to loose 0 -
