Event: TVOC Chiltern Challenge Regional Event Level B
 

massively chesty cough going on :( had swollen glands since wednesday so not altogether surprised. annoying that it's just been a rubbish week of training already though :( tucked up in bed all day & feeling better for it, so fingers crossed I can get back to normal soon!

Nationals. Never seen so much mud in all my life! Sliding everywhere in trail shoes. Was a really cool experience, I just wish I wasn't so average haha. Also felt awful the whole way round - not sure if that's just because I was trying so hard or if I really was having an off day. Felt disproportionately hard work either way! A bit disappointed but I'll get stronger and hopefully come back and actually enjoy this next year.

sports massage - yulia's happy I listened to her haha & says I'm fine to race this weekend. whoop whoop. although she banned me from going jogging this evening & said it's better to wait until the day after a massage to train again. good chance to sort out the rest of my life instead!

very very little pain anymore :) yay! This spin was also super super hard work. I miss running though!! Not the best prep ahead of Saturday but oooh well

Frustrating not to be able to do the sessions I want, but I don't think it's the worst thing in the world to miss a few runs this week if it means I'm in one piece & good to go by the weekend.

Tester run (in the sunshine!!) - felt a bit bruised but not painful :)

trying out some rowing

foot doing much better after a horrendously painful massage - the muscles are super contracted and won't relax for some reason & that's inflamed the tendon a wee bit. got an awesome mini foam roller for my foot which hurts like hell but is really effective. should all ease up again soon.

feel like i've been punched in the stomach after yesterday's ab circuit! weights were a tough shout

fun :) 45mins hard effort, powering out some tempo tracks
