NO!!! a very slight tightening in lower back / obliques so stopped and iced. I would normally doubt it is serious and expect it to clear in a few days but my injury judgment is pretty shit just lately…:o

5.15pm yep I was right back will be absolutely fine in a couple of days :cool: In fact it feels pretty much right now. I’ll do some easy rowing then a bike to help with things.

5.20 hmmm back has tightened right up after that 3 mins rowing :o

Still confident it’ll be fine but damn I’m making some stupid decisions lately :rolleyes:

calf a bit tight / tired between reps but fine doing them. Still a long way to go :o
There are times when I seriously consider just doing fitness type training and depending on how things go I may do that. I’m in 2 minds. Certainly if I do race I’ll probably use pre Christmas as more training and I’d be surprised if I get past 200m…I’ll see how it goes.

I cannot believe it, my calf was feeling really good and at 10 sec into last planned rep I was going great then a very slight twinge. Again I don’t think it is much but just enough to ensure it is a slight setback. For someone who is not patient this is getting really tough!

Calf has been really good last few days, best for ages :slight_smile:

Decision has been made, I will rest leg and use rowing & biking till next Saturday (31st) and race to see how it goes. If ok and time not too shocking (could it get worse? :rolleyes: ) then I’ll register and race using pre Christmas as SPP, if not then I’ll carry on with the rowing & biking and rest leg till at least mid January to get it right. I’m actually not really fussed either way.

The main goal was to simply get through intact which I did. Calf was not an issue at all :cool: Times were about what I thought they would be which was a pity given perfect warm conditions. Oh well its a start so will see what happens from here. Cross training will still play a big part in what I do for a while.

All fine and good. Admittedly it was really only a light jog (60-63%) but the fact is I completed a tempo session, the last time was 11 weeks ago :eek: !!! Calf was a bit tired before hand so I was constantly waiting for it to go but it felt fine and actually feels better for it.
