I mean I’m grateful for what I now have, but I really can only play a bit at it now and live on 2 wheels instead. Nightmare injury for sure

jdarun Jan 2018 9:06am, 18 Jan 2018 2,327 posts	0 jdarun Thanks all well I'll certainly keep an eye out for problems as and when they pop up. However I don't really regard myself as a running obsessive and have never had a tendency to train too hard through real injuries (I know not always so easy to tell what is a real injury when there's a race coming up!) so fingers crossed I have nothing to worry about. There's been an awful forecast here but in reality just the occasional dusting of snow that's not lying so should manage a tough workout some time today...

Which shows what a week of steady running (no fast sessions since last thursday's struggle) can lead to!
Bazoaxe Jan 2018 1:57pm, 18 Jan 2018 12,413 posts	0 Bazoaxe I have similar tonight JDA, but its 4 x 2 miles (so hoping to be 12:30). Just hoping all the snow/ice/slush has gone and the wind remains OK
Lee78 Jan 2018 4:11pm, 18 Jan 2018 128 posts	0 Lee78 Did 18 miles with 8 at Marathon pace today! Slow 5, then the 8, then another 5 slow! Managed to average 6:39 on the MP miles and felt good! This is the pace I need to run to get under 2:55! Can I see myself maintaining that for 26.2 miles.........no but it is early days! Glad it’s done now and will have a nice 6 mile recovery tomorrow! 👍🏻 Hope your foot feels better today Chris!🤞🏻👍🏻
