Right ok we have 37 days to go which I think calls for a HUGE wibble!
So here is may plan and I would really appreciate some feedback especially from the BT folks (Ruth? Leon? Beanz?)
This week and next - cross train on the bike and stepper and swim if time allows!!
After that I will try to re-introduce some plodding, now I thought that a good way to prevent me from doing too much too fast too soon etc I would do BT work.
Now previously I have said that if I only have 30 mins lunch then exercise is a no go, but if I do BT work and start at say 20 mins then this IS possible and I could do this say 3-5 times in week one without hurting myself .... she thinks!
Also what would be best? A long walk at the weekend in a "time on feet" manner or do long bike rides and combine these with stepper work at home?
This is my plan leading up to FLM and I think that BT work post FLM will also be an excelent way to recovery and if I continue then this should fit into my "get fitter and faster and short distances first" campaign.
Now here's the questions ......
1) Is this a good plan?
2) What's best for weekends?
3) with a max HR of 206 and resting of about 50 what HR should I work at?
4) how often do you think I can exercise at BT pace whilst in rehab???
I know lots of questions but I know you lot are wise so all help appreciated!!

I think ruth is right about between now and FLM
and then go back to BT when SF healed - and SLOW build up on BT
I think my wibble with shin was due to trying to do too much too soon on BT
I am going to work out a stepped increase of miles - and I agree with Ruth about your club sessions
I am now convinced that the way to progress is to stop running until you are certain that any trace of discomfort has gone. This means waiting until after you think the pain has disappeared. You must wait until you are absolutely certain. (a big difference).
Keeping fit is not a problem cycling and the eliptical trainer work well.If you worked hard on these you will be in shape to walk/run London.
I would also have your gait analysed to see if there is any problem in the way you are running. Your injury must have been caused by something and it is important to find out what. Otherwise you will breakdown again when you increase your milage (whatever training regime you use).
Good luck
I'm going to cross training ONLY until FLM. Then see what happens on the day.
Having spoken to Benz off line I am also going to see if I can get a bone density scan as my milage is pitiful and to get a SF on my miles is worrying. I hate milk and always have done, don't have yoghurts regulary, don't like butter/cream and take suppliments when I remember! (been good for the last few month though!) Also dad has a curved spine and so did Granny so maybe it is worth considering. Hope to hear from the prof tomorrow!
Different topic and not much use to your current predicament! But I struggled through my first 18 miles yesterday and was thinking of all you marathon veterans. I have huge respect for what you have acheived. Hang in there!
Well done on the miles!
