Never had any issues myself, but MrsBB can't go near it

Micilin Muc

From 'Anatomy for Runners':

The swelling and pain suppression from NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) results in a delayed and slower healing response than would have been possible without the NSAIDs.

Although I'm sure there's probably evidence to the contrary too!

BeepBeep!!! What is it you say? Keep it between the ditches! And what is it I say? Stay away from the orange juice!!!!

Have a great race, Dom. You really, really deserve to have an amazing day.

Have a fab weekend Dom, couple of decent scalps there for the taking (Farah, Kiprotich, Mutai ... :pac:)

Seriously though, will be eagerly following progress on Sunday morning, you should be going into this with great confidence built on a great training base.

Enjoy it!

RayCun

Best of luck Dom - Some 'ferocious' training going on here and you deserve the fruits of your labour!
Enjoy the beers afterwards too!

Good luck BB - if consistency is the secret, then it's time for you to cash in with the running Gods.

Best of luck on Sunday in Rotterdam Dom!!

ecoli

Best of luck Dom. Probably one of the most consistent training blocks racing this weekend and no doubt it will yield benefits.

pgmcpq

Best of luck. Score one for the veterans !

Dom, today is a day that in 20 years time will stand out as a story to be told.
You've done remarkably well in this training cycle and it won't be lost.
#allaboutthejourney.

Glad your ok.

^^^^ +1

Look at all that you have accomplished getting to this day - the PBs you've set, the races you've smashed, the respect you've earned. Props, Dom. Props.

Dom - Come on over to Dusseldorf and join me on 27th April and get the marathon time you deserve!
Yesterday's race and the time you dropped out should mean it won't take too much out of you and provided the ribs are healed you'd rip around that marathon course. G'wan, ya know you want to!

or Limerick or Cork...

Limerick would be an option alright but I'd say Cork will be too long coming around for Dom as I reckon he's eager to get racing at shorter distances!

BeepBeep67

Low point for me this week, no real improvement, 2 short runs a 3 and a 5 and 2 spins on the bike, even getting down on drops is restrictive.
Almost ran the Lusk EoI marathon yesterday but a come to Jesus chat with Mrs BB ended that thought, in fairness she was right.
Will limp along for a few more days and probably line up in the county 5k on Weds and make a call from there.

Krusty_Clown

Marathons are for noobs. All the cool kids are doing the shorter stuff these days. Any sign of an improvement with the ribs?

ThebitterLemon

BB,

Join the unfinished business brigade in Limerick, if the injury has healed, you'll blast it.

The pain from movement when running seems to have gone, but I haven't really tested them for any great length or pace.
Still painful to breath deep, coughing, laughing, etc and haven't had an uninterrupted night's sleep since it happened.
