ints at AIS, did 2 x 4x4mins with 2min recovery and 4mins between sets. time went pretty quick, and pretty quiet too which meant i mostly had a lane to myself :)
pity i couldnt be outside in the sun doing it!

had a while to wait for my bus to come (which never ended up coming at all, i think i should add) so just did some 'laps'
they had the radio on today so that made it a little more interesting......cant believe i spent almost 90mins pool running. what an achievement!

C • 90 mins in pool 11

same as previously
havent noticed any improvement yet....pushups might be better but prone holds are possibly worse!!

sooo keen to get out in the sunshine and do some exercise....so spontaneously jumped on my bike and went! ........very foolish. at 40mins both (strangely, usually just left) tibialis anteriors got sore, right up the lateral side of the tibia....worried this is my tibial stress syndrome (aka shin splints) being aggravated, in which case the muscle would be pulling on the stress fracture site (since this is how it came about in the first place).
though i could be wrong, maybe it's just a phantom pain......

anyway, i know i keep saying this but i will lay off the riding!

@ ais, did 12344321 with 1min rec
got quite puffed actually.
feeling rather depressed i couldnt do a real run around some single tracks in this lovely weather :(

Same as yesterday but a few less reps cuz I was sore. Did it all while watching game of thrones. Kinda addicted now thanks to Lizzie :P

Strength and stretching
Have become so weak!!

taking it chill (literally, tis cold today!). if i have to have 4 more weeks off i may as well make it count ;)
but seriously, i think if i try and smash out lots of cross training till then i wont be very mentally refreshed....i'd rather do nothing/whatever i feel like so then i'll be pumped and ready to run again when it's time! (plus not sure riding is doing me many favours)

not even a ride into uni today as had to carry my bone scans around and didnt wanna squash them til the sports dr had seen them haha.
man it was cold, wearing shorts was a bad choice!

happy with what sports dr had to say: basically i stopped running at exactly the right time as i was on the verge of making it much worse. think he wanted to give me a moon boot, but i (luckily) must have convinced him otherwise by telling him it didnt hurt that much (the truth!).
have to take 4 more weeks completely off (pool running ok), and then only start running again very very slowly i.e. 2x15mins runs in the first week back and build SLOWLY from there.
may have all stemmed from biomechanical issues....have had most injuries to my left leg so should sort out something there. orthotics may also help.

to uni, from uni to AIS pool, from AIS pool home

think it was prob about an hour in total.

more pool running ints
this time did 2 x 8 x 90sec with 30sec recovery and 2min between sets.
not as fun as last time, though the time went soo quickly.
