Session: Speedwork on tready at home
Well I warmed up and stretched then started my session.
Set one ... 400m @9kmph.
2 mins recovery
Set two ... 600m @9kmph
2 mins recovery
Set three.... 800m @9kmph.... err no. 200m @9kmph followed by "hmm that doesn't feel right" STOP. Stretch, twisty turned flexy ankles. Nope ankle not happy, definatly tighter than the other. STTTRRRRREEETTTTCCCCHHHHH. Ankle happy now. Bit of a walk... OK... bit of a jog.. OK.... 600m @9kmph.... OK! Cool!
2 mins recovery
Set four .... 600m @9kmph ..... well 200m @9kmph followed by STOP! Ankle hurty stiffy sore, pixie not gonna play. Huh. Sulk.
So I continued my session to finish 30mins on the tready with hilly walking. Then jumped on the bike and did 15mins (5.7km) on that. I'm thinking that my runners are calling time and that the lack of bounce is causing tight muscles rather than there being a big problem. Sensible head said call it quits because I have 3 days until my next run and that rest should clear it up, and if it doesn't then next week will be lots of walking and some swimming and a tentative run. So again the rest should clear it. I think that stopping means it is just achey hurty rather than injured.
Anyway not a happy pixie but a good session with half speedwork and some cross training done so not all lost.

have a great holiday
Beanz I think it is called being stubborn!
Oh and about the comment last night... was worried a bit after I posted it... glad you knew what I meant but like Beanz says, it's nice to see you keeping at it (not something I could do, I hate speedwork me - club nights when they did it... I used to roll my eyes so far you'd think I was something out of the Exorcist)
;o)
Well done girlie - keep going. GFA.
Caff
I want to do my damnest to get this GFA or at least have a bliddy good try at it. Even a sub 2:30 half makes me cry with fear just now and it seems impossible.
but i have a damn good coach and if anyone can get me there then spans can
so I carry one trying
and complaining about it al!
