Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Thanks for the welcome folks, and G, I thought that would be the case but some don't think sitting still and breathing counts.;-)

I'm also currently on the injured bench, at least in terms of running. My last significant running was March 2017 when the Achilles really stopped me. Since then it's been indoor rowing (There's a thread. Come and join us!), a bit of cycling, strength work and, until recently, half-hearted attempts at rehabbing the Achilles. Right now I'm putting a lot more effort into the rehab element of things.

Fetch has been suffering with his Achilles / calf according to podcast. I said over there that eccentric heel drops that I was given by doc/ physio worked really well. Whenever I feel a twinge coming on I do them again and it seems to stave off any recurrence, touch wood.

I don't envy you the indoor rowing. I did it for a bit when I had pelvis injury back in 2010, and it was flippin hard! I got a sore bum sitting on the thing for an hour plus!

Meditation, yoga, stretching etc. I have always logged all these. I think they absolutely contribute to physical well being, so they count. As well as mentally helping too. Good luck with your rehab! :-) G

Welcome Nellers. I include sports massage in my training hours so I don't see why meditation can't count!

Mine is insertion tendinopathy which means that heel drops didn't help. I've got heel raises and bent leg heel raises to do, and I'm now moving on to more plyometric stuff, so vertical two-footed jumps. If that continues to go well I'll be moving on to hopping, then hopefully some running. Keep everything crossed that it continues to progress!

I know what you mean about the rowing. It's not easy but for some reason I've got a bit addicted to it. It's quite technical and if you can get something like good form, and you can persist with the workouts, it's fantastic training. I've even invested in my own Concept2 rower so I can train more!

Thanks WM. Ooh massage! That might start being a bit of a feature of my log. My daughter has just started a Sports Rehabilitation degree course and one of the first things she is learning is Sports Massage. I might have to make use of that when she's home at Xmas.

Lol, that's interesting, I choose not to log sports massage time or physio either. But I probably should strictly speaking.

That just reminded me that I'd logged 5 hours on a boat back in April on holiday in Cape Cod, because I wanted the GPS trail. I've gone back and deleted the miles and the time, but kept the GPS trace! So now I'm (just) behind target, not ahead! :-) G

What a useful daughter :) I was going to say that you can still log activities for reference but not the time if you feel it shouldn't count - but I think what *you* regard as training is fair.

Sigh and HappyG - yes, I meant ***sigh*** (sorry for the confusion). I do a lot of biking as well, but I tend to decide on the day where I'm going so training distance (as opposed to time) would be a better measure for me, I think.

I haven't logged physio or sports massage myself but actually I think it's a really valid part of training as preparation, maintenance and recovery. I'm also interested that people log meditation as that fits well with looking after mental as well as physical health.
I had a great week away in the Scottish Highlands, but don't feel like I can log any activity as I spent a lot of time as a passenger in a campervan. But I did manage the most amazing sea swim - no watch, no logging, just bliss...

About the thread:

A shout out if anyone else wants to set themselves a goal in terms of time training (hours).

Remember, whatever you want to count as training... counts as training. If it's walking the dog, cycling to work, mindfulness and meditation, knitting, whatever you want to track, you track the hours!!

For anyone who wants to join us - it's easy, just estimate how many hours a year of training you want to do, and each month we see if we're on target.

2025 is a GO!

Here we track time spent doing anything you want to track as training. Ideal for non-runners, cross trainers, walkers, the injured etc!

Inspired by Sigh's blog (even though he's not playing any more!) fetcheveryone.com/blog/83896/2019/7#blog395919

Time has now been added to most logs, summaries and graphs, so thanks Fetch! :-) G
