I'm starting to think my knee will hold up for Brighton as well! I did a 20 mile training run a couple of weeks ago and it was fine

Nice one! I found you can arrive (to the pens) at Reading about 15 minutes before kick-off to avoid standing around for ages.

I'll be back on C25K myself soon, to see if the AH holds up :s

So I haven't been on here all winter!

The new season began recently and Southampton AC stormed the first match. 3 of my training squad broke 11 seconds for 100m - one a 15 year old! Unreal!

My participation was a comical bounding over the 110mH due to my very tender hamstring, which I discovered after the massage that day has a lot of scar tissue on it, due to frequent tears/pulls. News to me! I have only ever once knowingly torn it and cramped a few times. In reality, I've injured my hammy about 5 times more than I've ever noticed!

Week off this week to ice my old leg and hopefully get back to training next week. Big match next month - Worthing AC & Basingstoke AC at Worthing, we have to deliver at that one!

Hope everyone is well!

Do you need a programme/race to aim for madam???

jmc41 · 28-04-2013, 22:29

I'm back slowly too, after 3.5 months off hoped the achilles was sorted so went out for a short one a couple of weeks ago, just over 20 mins for 2.5 miles. Ooops, major DOMS for 3-4 days.

Slowed down and managed to hit a 5km at the weekend without major issues, hoping to build it up slowly and maybe a race in the autumn.

arghgh, hate injurys.

Me too jmc. Currently waiting for an MRI scan. Had an ultrasound and was referred for an MRI to confirm that it's a torn meniscus. Found out Friday that the MRI had been refused as it was "unjustified". Going to book an appointment with the docs this week to discuss more options as I'm so pissed off about it. Not going to let this lie.

Fix my knee, or deal with depression, obesity and heart disease. Their choice!

Damn that sucks thought you were sorted :s Have you tried aqua running as an interim measure?

It's boring as anything but along with aqua fit (which is much more okay if you are female!) got my a 10k pb when I couldn't run a month before the two castles.

Someone else has suggested aqua jogging, but to be honest, if I won't enjoy it then there's no point... and I won't enjoy it. That's just how I roll with exercise. It's about stress relief and relaxation as much as it is about fitness. I want to be outdoors, not cooped up in a gym or swimming pool. I can walk OK on it without too much bother, so I'll just be power walking insteadm then RICEing. At least it means I can keep the enjoyment aspect

I'm not too worried about losing speed.. I'll get it back

Spoke to the docs today and I'm being referred to an Orthopedic consultant. The doc couldn't understand why they'd rejected my MRI either. He said the letter was "gobbledygook" and didn't actually give a reason. The orthopedic consultant will have a look and then probably refer me for an MRI anyway. Oh well. At least SOMEthing is happening
