Got a big goal to look forward to - Manchester Marathon 5th April 2020 (Goal: 3.30)

damn nice!

what's your longest run so far?

Quote

(squatting has suffered due to hip injury from falling during a run which isn't 100% right yet)

i've had that happen a few times, once really bad last november. that one during november definitely caused some longer lasting issues. sux.

stay safe w/ it!

Longest run is ~17-18 miles so far on heavy trail with lots of hills and that actually felt OK. Slowly going to start ramping up the distance every two weeks with a 10 miler in between to slow it down a bit as there's no rush.

Yeah the hip injury is super annoying, everything just feels janky, hope I haven't torn labrum or something dumb. My best guess at the moment is bursitis.

--------------

Yesterday 8/1 ran 7.38km at 5.05 pace.

Thinking of getting some new shoes for all the road running I'm doing, with more cushion but staying lowish drop. Looking at Hokas. Think I'll still use the kinvara for faster days and the race itself but I'm pretty heavy at 86kg for a distance runner and shins are starting to feel best up again.

Have also just bought some Inov 8 x talon 230s - heavy trail shoe with 8mm lugs and a 6mm drop - my trailtalon 235s are great for summer but sliding all over the place on my last few trail outings so these should do the job.

Rushed stressed and sleep deprived

Run 25km 5.54 pace - heavy wind and rain and difficult terrain.

First run in new inov8 x talon 230s - amazing. Felt like spider man, gripped amazingly in some really thick slipper mud.

dope about the mud.

i've done that in spikes, love it.

Feels great huh. No spikes but 8mm lugs do the job!

Today was gonna lift but finished work late and wanted to go yoga too

Run treadmill 5k 25m
Yoga 1 hr 30

time to do lots of tib raises, and against the wall etc

lean back more for greater resistance, and then progress to oly shoes makes it twice as hard
