Tuesday 03/02/2015 10 miles @ 8:37
Few reps of the Doughiska road tonight, lovely out. Clear skies with a nice bite in the temp. Couple of horses in the field at the bottom of the road kept me amused every time I went past them. I greeted each of them with a "Hello horsie" each time I passed.
I think I'm loosing it

Frosty evening out there. Wanted 12 miles @ 8:00 or thereabouts. Found it hard to get going for the first mile or so. Kept the 8:00 more or less but found it hard going for some reason
Might sort out a rub for the legs and keep an eye on it.
Slight tickle in the throat yesterday evening till now, not to bad just a tad annoying. Hope it doesn't develop into something more 0 -

Headed out the N17 Galway-Tuam road for this out and back. No spectacular scenery, just the odd field of sheep and a farmer spreading slurry or some smelly sh1te
like that
Didn't go to bad, felt reasonably good for the duration, took a quick break at 20 mile mark to get a drink in claregalway but I probably could have gone on without it.
I'm a bit apprehensive now to see how tomorrows shorter run will go at the same pace 0 -

Sunday 08/02/2015 8 miles @ 8:29
Planned 8-10 mile today and felt reasonably good this morning afternoon so headed off around 1:30...
Was running comfortably from the start but around the 5.5 mile mark a bit of tightness towards the outside of my left calf. No major pain, just a bit of discomfort. I kept going but by mile 8 I called it a day as noticed I was compensating by shifting my weight to the right and running like a gorilla
A short recovery run tomorrow on the pitches should be grand 0 -

Thanks for that, food for thought for sure...Otherwise you risk a compensation injury, and compensation injuries are often the worst. "Get on a bike or in a pool until you can run your normal gait," McClanahan says.
NOOOOOOO The devils disciplines
Ya, I think I should take a cautious approach , nip it in the bud as it were 0 -
Tuesday 10/02/2015 Rest
Wednesday 11/02/2015 Rest and physio
So, as DG sparked a bit of sensibility in me, I went and played it safe. Took Tuesday of as a precaution and took today off as I was going to physio...
Got to physio at 6 and she identified the problem area as peroneal muscle. She went to work on it like the sadistic b1tch she is(shes lovely really).. Got onto me about the foam rolling/proper stretching ect, all the thing I've been putting on the long finger basically
Allowed some easy gently running tomorrow and see how it goes from there. I'm back up to her next week to see how I'm going so not to bad...0 -

Thursday 12/02/2015 6 miles @ 9:00
A little jaunt to see how things are. Leg still a little tender as expected but no nothing major from the peroneal muscle itself. A slight tightness but loosened out after a mile or so. Really tried to keep it slow and just see would anything flare up but nothing did Thank God. Pace crept up to 8:30 for couple of mile before I reigned it back again.
Calves Still tight but will continue to work on them from now on. Happy to be out there tonight. Will keep it handy for the rest of the week though 0 -

Non eventful 10 miles out to salthill. Lovely evening though....
Noticed a huge increase in the amount of people out walking holding hands and being "romantic".. I wonder how many of them will be doing it next saturday evening 0 -
Sunday 15/02/2015 8k @ 6:40 "Gorgeous Gort 8k" 32.59
Decided to do this 8k to see how the legs hold up and prepared to reduce to jog if anything arose.
Happy to report no issues and perhaps the legs feel as if they benefited from it.
Not much to say about the race, under 200 lined up so was running on my own for bits. Weatherwise, not to bad, a bit of wind but no rain. Course profile I would say definitely not a PB course, few short sharpish hills in the second half to suck the pace from you. That said, it was a good club race and a went off without any issues.
6:32, 6:42, 6:37, 6:48, 6:39 (32:59)
Happy with how it went all thing considered. Confident in getting back to business tomorrow..0 -
Monday 16/02/2015 5 miles @ 9:00 mile
Easy 5 miles around the pitches. No issues to note really, which is a good thing .
I ordered few bits'n'bobs a few days ago including some running gear and a foam roller :eek: They should arrive over the next couple of days.
I really hope I get into the habit of using regularly and it doesn't end up as a toy for the nephews... It could make some weapon in a battle 0 -

10 miles to get back to business. Enjoyable run legs were grand once warmed up fully.
Nice evening for it, cool'n'crisp.. Had a brief daydream of winning lotto... Wasn't impressed when I snapped out of it
Item no 1 of my recent online assault arrived today... Gymboss interval timer 0 -
Wednesday 18/02/2015 Physio-No run
Thursday 19/02/2015 12 miles @ 8:14
Wednesday was my follow up session with the physio. The treated area(peroneal) seems to be A1 again but still tenderness in the calves. She went at them again with elbows and all and left me even more tender afterwards
Thursday run went grand. Still a bit of tenderness in calves but I think they're getting better. Went for the salthill route which is fairly flat and just kept tipping along to see how things are. All ok.
Items no 2 and 3 of my recent online purchases turned up on Wednesday. Foam roller and a couple of base layer tops. First time wearing a base layer top this evening and found it very good. Not as tight/restricted as I previously thought and kept me nice and warm. Arm length a tad short though but other than that a nice job 0 -
Friday 20/02/2015 7 miles @ 7:53
7 miles and felt good. Bit apprehensive about the long run this weekend but sure I feel good so should be ok.
Had a go on the foam roller last night and jasus I felt it I couldn't do legs crossed and all weight on one calf like the physio said, could hardly put any pressure on the calves Think I need to build up to that sort of load on the calf Felt good after my brief rolling though 0 -
