Thanks Ecoli, it was a niggle as you say that I kept ignoring, last Wednesday was out running & ended up walking the last mile home, feeling very sorry for myself. Couldnt get an appointment with local sports massage place (never been before so taking it as a good sign that he is so busy!). A friend is into that sort of thing so he did some work on it for me, does seem to be improving and my compression socks arrived from Wiggle yesterday so am wearing them to work today
. First time that I've ever had something which actually stops me running, usually its just excuses!! 0 -
I swear by them could all be in my head though :rolleyes:. definitely do them during the summer after longer LSRs. can't bring myself to do them during the winter. i fill the bath up with cold water, just to the waist put on a nice warm fleece and bring a cuppa with me and i can manage 20mins in it... prefer them to hot baths at this stageok ICE BATHS/cold water baths
who uses em , who thinks they are good and how do you go about doing them.
Ie do you jump in straight away after your run or do it on a seperate occasion?

Hi everyone, back in the land of running at last! Only taking it slow to build up the leg again but enjoying so far
I tried cold bath with ice after some LSR last year they are painful but really worked. Then after one LSR my husband brought me out the back garden and sprayed with the hose! I had a really warm jacket on and a cup of tea in my hands so he just sprayed the hell out of my legs (literally:D). It really did work. Did it after the marathon too and apart from difficultly with the dreaded stairs and my injured knee the rest of me felt fine. Will definitely be doing it after each LSR this year. So my humble advice would be the hose, it's quicker and easier to handle and worked just the same as the bath for me. Also saves having to try and get out of the bath afterwards!0 -

ahahhah i can just imagine asking herself to hose me down out the back!
For the baths would ye jump into them straight after the run or have a shower and do it later on?
Straight in after the run bob. Maybe get your stretches in first while
The bath is filling up and in you go. It's a bit :eek::eek: at first but you get used to it. But make sure you move the legs around as the water does warm around the legs after a while so keep moving them every so often to bring cooler water to the legs. Enjoy 0 -

Well done younganne! Best of luck to all running in Rainey next week too.
Set up to try a cold water bath last night but popped to the kitchen for some water and came back to see steam in the bath (never turned the water to cold). Couldn't be bothered waiting so hopped into a cold shower instead.
I'm now a convert to the cold water treatment:D very good. next time eh
