Back from the physios. Gave my calf a seeing to and gave me the go ahead for Sunday. Which is good, because today I was in a mood of "feck what the physio says, I'm going to give it a shot anyway". Tomorrow I may be cursing him for not giving me the excuse I want to pull out though

Last run with my training buddy this evening, 3 miles easy. Ahem, it was quicker than we normally run but we were chatting all the way, so that's easy isn't it? It felt great, proper running, I felt like I could have run much faster, but held back, I have really been doubting myself, with long very slow runs but was buzzing at the end and can't wait to do park runs again. I'm definitely not a long distance runner but hopefully can become a decent 5 and 10km runner - for a woman of my age
Great to see most people coming through the injury worries, I keep checking to see if ariana has posted, fingers and toes (with short nails) all crossed here.0 -

Brilliant news. That’s great.
Ariana, hope your news will be the same.
Great post about the route Wubble Wubble! Just skimmed over it and will read it in detail later.0 -

QB brilliant news
Run was o-k I think. Slight tightness at the back of the offending knee but no pain as such. A lot of niggles in the other leg though (taper madness I hope or else the other leg is compensating :eek:).
HR was thru the roof, average was more than 25 bpm higher than normal for the pace/distance. I guess the head cold? Pace was slower than normal... About 30 seconds/km slower than I've been running my LSRs. My garmin gave me 4 days as recovery time
Anyhow I'm lining up in Sunday. At this stage I'd rather be a DNF than a DNS. If nothing else I'll learn more lessons from the experience than I will from sitting at home!!!! So bring it on now :eek:0 -

Great news , my heart rate has been very high today took it out of interest. It's about 20-30 bpm higher at rest. Its probably sickness related.0 -

Very bad idea - I done my last MP session on Tuesday - 2 miles at MP and it was a real struggle - this is normal before a big race as your had and body are trying to protect you from whats to come (Central Governor Theory).
So if you do 3m at MP and it goes terrible - is it due to this or other issues? Doing a 2m super slow jog is good enough.Unthought Known wrote: »Great post J, however you've missed out one climb. Now people, dont get too down about this hill. I was leaving work on Leeson Street today and noticed the massive climb below, from the arrow to the traffic light. It may well be in mile 1, but I recommend taking this one easy.
I seen this myself at the weekend and thought the same - the 1st 7 are going to be tough - but we wont know it til later in the race.QB brilliant news

Starting to feel like a kid at Christmas with the nervous excitement.
I'd much rather be a kid at Christmas right now :pac:
I'm really not feeling the love for these last few days. I'm feeling very deflated and apathetic right now. I can't even explain the feeling. I should be over-joyed that i'm actually getting to run but i feel like all the good has been sucked out of it with the roller-coaster ride in the past few weeks. I feel unfit and sore (everywhere now - i tried to scratched my back last night and pulled something in my shoulder i mean seriously) I know this may be tmi but i'm keep spontaneously bursting into tears and i can't even explain what is wrong. My OH is fed up of me but trying, god bless him, to be supportive. I've spent the last 3 nights twisting & turning in bed and now i just feel wrecked and hopeless
And then i think of Leesider who isn't even getting to start and i feel guilty, i need to snap out of it
