Welcome To Fetcheveryone

Pilates with Mr Mo (594[145]). Easy stuff today.

Strong run but I need to keep an eye on this knee.

Could have run all morning and I am feeling some fitness coming back.

Pilates with Mr Mo (595[146]). Easy.

Fairly decent run but a bit exhausting. I intentionally ran without any fuel (no carbs, no breakfast and no gels [although I had a couple in my pocket in case I bonked]).

Never felt as if I had full strength and that was kind of a nice challenge, although late on I was getting tired, but the pace was increasing.

The left knee behaved itself until about 14m when it started to feel a bit sore, so it's about a 6/10 today.

Pilates with Mr Mo (596[147]). Afternoon session after doing my chores. Bit tired.

Kept this short today because the knee is feeling as if it's about 4/10 and getting worse rather than better.

Got a rest day tomorrow, but might skip Wednesday's run if it gives me a chance of recovering for a long run this weekend.

Pilates with Mr Mo (597[148]). Cancelled today's run so that I can ease up this knee a bit. It's going to score about 4/10 if I run on it right now and I'm hoping that not running until Friday will bring it back up to somewhere around 7.

Pilates with Mr Mo (598[149]). Well, this knee really is most unhappy with me. What have I done!?!

Decided that I'd had enough time off and today was a run day.

The knee is about 5/10. That's not 7.

Let's see how we go over the next few days.

Disappointed with this. Only decided to make this a 24 this morning when I woke and the knee wasn't too bad. The knee was about 6/10 on the run.

The run down to Dover was hard work with strong winds and rough terrain.

However, after turning and getting the wind behind me I started to feel rough and lacking energy and strength. The last 5 miles were a bit useless today and I finished feeling pretty rubbish and a bit like a child trying to run a grown up's distance. Didn't like that.

Let's hope that today got this out of my system and I will gain a bit of strength from what was a challenging morning.

Kept it short this morning because Sunday's run has really taken it out of me.

Never really settled, although the HR is a sign that my monitor is playing up.

The knee was not too bad at about 7/10.

Pilates with Mr Mo (599[150]). Not bad.

Bit wishy washy this morning. I never really settled down and by the end I was glad to get finished.

The body wasn't too great either. The back was about 5/10 and the knee was 6/10.

Pilates with Mr Mo (600[151]). Back ache.

Felt really rough today. Before I left the house, I ended up sat on the stairs void of all energy. And that's pretty much how the run went; a struggle from start to finish, generally feeling wiped out.

The back is playing up, the knee isn't happy and the body is generally a bit worn out.

Pilates with Mr Mo (601[152]). Bad back, bad knee.

This was a much better run. Bloody freezing, but I soon warmed up.

The knee was about 6/10 and the back was 7/10 and my energy levels were about 7/10 today (about 3/10 on Sunday).

I would have carried on, but I'm trying to have an easy few days.

Pilates with Mr Mo (602[153]). Alright.

Running well this week. This was a strong effort and I was holding it back. Not sure what's going on with the heart monitor.

Knee was 6/10 and back was 6/10 today.

Betteshanger Lucky Dip Marathon: 04:07:28 Pos: 5/51

First race back after 5 months out due to Covid restrictions. It went better than I could have expected really, but was by no means a positive.

I spent the last 20 miles of this race battling with terrible back problems that got progressively worse and tbh destroyed my race and any chance I had of running a decent time.

The first 2 laps were easy and I was gliding. Then at 6 miles my back had a jolt coming down a hill and by half way I was struggling. I think it was at the end of lap 4 I had to have a stretch and it was as painful as anything.

I conclude that I now need some proper help with this back otherwise I am going to struggle to ever race properly again and also struggle to get the distance back up to the proper ultras that I want to hit next.

Very easy recovery run, with the back actually not feeling too bad. The knee was also not too grumpy. I know I'm buggered though.

Took it dead easy.

The heart monitor is clearly not working.
