Went with Beth to the commonwealth pool, she and her friend were doing a 90 min 'long run' so I joined them for an extended warm up and down and did a session in between.
Warm up
10 min tempo (90s)
4 x [3 min, 2 min, 1 min (60s)]
Warm down

In Edinburgh for big weekend, obviously can't run but we had a large squad from Durham and I wanted to see my Edi pals, fortunately my leg is now capable of lots of walking (unfortunately it is not capable of ceilidhing).

First gym session of term, we have a new coach for the rest of the year so sessions will be slightly different. Just going to do what I can and adapt things, for weighted exercises going to start with minimal weight and build up slowly. Everything I did today felt fine, going to wait and see if there are any after effects.

Rolling and mobility stuff

2 circuits of:
8 x s/l hip bridge each side
8 x bridge walkouts
8 x inch worms
8 x lateral duck walks each way
8 x overhead squat

(Instead of squat jumps...)

with 4 x 10 s/l heel raises (left leg only)

Then afterwards I added some clam shells with resistance band and s/l swiss ball hamstring curls.

Successfully walked to my lectures yesterday, which admittedly isn't far, and today walked all the way to the pool which took about 20 minutes so by far the furthest I have walked!
