DCM 2012 Graduates - the next step

I see a nice marathon plan in the irish runner called schedule 2. It looks doable while challenging. And incorporates the race series.

Yeah I noticed that, its a 22 week program which started very gently this week I think. I have a PDF of it if anybody wants a look drop me a PM. Sensible plan and very doable for the likes of us, especially if you intend to incorporate the race series.

I like the look of it. 5 days training a week is enough.

Yeah I think so, I'm only just running a year and I reckon I'm dicing with potential injury whatever the mileage if I'm running 6 times a week.

Have torn my lateral meniscus cartilage, having an MRI done tomorrow afternoon to see if anything more serious done. Haven't been given a full diagnosis on how long i'll be out. Have to wear the brace for another week anyway.

Cheers, sudden wallop. Never had issues with my knees from running before, will know better on time out tomorrow.

Thats crap Tang, hope its not that bad.
I was reading there about it, they say it happens when the knee takes a twist while the leg is not fully extended. Sounds like something that could happen on a hill.

KillianByrne

That's not fun Tang, sorry to see it happen to you. Lets hope further investigation brings better news.

Jaysus, during the race or post race? That's a nasty injury tang, make sure to give it time. (the brace looks cool though )

Cheers BL, there was plenty of hills in Enniscorthy last Sunday but cant honestly remember twisting my knee in anyway. Hopefully its not to bad.

New runner

Hi folks thanks for all your support n kind words of encouragement . Tough day at office but all things considered I happy enuf with 3.53 ( possibly made 3.52.xx). Found last 8 miles really hard, had get my big toe nail sorted out yest as it had cut down into wick couple days ago n was very inflamed n sore, podiatrist cut out a piece from down side, hurt like hell n dressed it, so tbh that hurt all the way, my feet were definately my biggest prob for some reason they all cut n blistered:( oh n had diarrhoea 3 times so thr lost some mins! However on a positive note my ankle held up great n never even found pain or ache so I'm delighted with that. Writing this on phone so not ideal for a race report but ill do that tomoro . So overall happy , 3.58 in DCM n 3.53 today.
Good luck to all tomoro , hope u all have great run. We had ideal conditions today, lovely mild dry day n since we started at 8.30 wasn't too hot, so hopefully b same for u all tomoro. Best of luck to u all n thanks again x
