Chelles Running Blog

Little Pom who met an Aussie eight years ago and moved over here to be with him. Love Brisbane and all it has to offer, not sure if I would have been as keen about getting up at 5am during the English winter for a run!

2 runs and a physio visit

Thursday, 16th
This morning I planned to do an easy hour but the heat and humidty was too much, both puppy and I were feeling it after 20mins and so rather than extending my usual route I just stuck to it and made it the usual 40mins.

Friday 17th,
Trip to the physio today and really good positive news. My physio couldnt give me enough praise and postive feedback for the improvement she could see both in my actual running and with the stretches and exercises. She also used electrodes to test that I was activating my leg muscles in the correct order when my foot went down, and that they all held enough strength to not negatively affect another. The physio has recommended I concentrate on longer runs for the time being and stay away from hills. Next visit, 10 days.

Saturday 18th,
Small group at the Regatta this morning, I later found out that one of the groups had the week off training. Cheryl and I headed out to the gardens, contray to last week my legs were moving quite well and I got to the 15min struggle point a good minute or so quicker than last week. Following on with the 10% rule I just wanted to do an extra 10mins today and headed out threw the gardens towards the Riparian, the sun was getting pretty hot at this point so we came off the river walk and headed back towards the gardens and back to the Regatta. I stopped for 30seconds on the way back to the Regatta to stretch and walked the final 500meters for the same reason, other than that all was good. Total run time, 1hour 15mins.

That's great news from the physio Chelle - she should have given you a gold star!

What's this about a group having the day off from training! Not our group, must be those lazy Regatta Runners ;-)

I guess Sports Physio really provide excellent results in your fitness and health. Maybe I should have a physiotherapist too to monitor my progress.
