clare1976 27 Apr 10:48am, 27 Apr 2021 4459 posts	0 clare1976 Hi all, great to see you all in here still and that there's some October plans afoot for some of us... I'm not ruling out a sub-3:30 attempt if everything went to plan but also not pinning my hopes on it yet... Nelly, I hope that some bike miles will help with general fitness, recovery and resilience- ideally I plan to substitute some of the 'general' (junk?) miles with cross training including bike rides.. FF I hope you're off the bench before too long, what have you done?
Fenland Flier 27 Apr 11:41am, 27 Apr 2021 2416 posts	0 Fenland Flier I got PF in early February and pulled my groin a few weeks ago. Each is improving but not cleared up. I have not run since 7th February so will need to restart when the time comes.

clare1976 28 Apr 12:32pm, 28 Apr 2021 4461 posts	0 clare1976 Hope the improvement continues, FF. Do you think one caused the other? Sometimes through compensating for one issue we end up creating something else... did I hear you're cycling instead? I'm sure that will help a lot with maintaining your general fitness and of course wellbeing.
