Great North Run training: Week 3

Posted in Great North Run, training

Tags: ,

After last weeks’ good start, this week it felt more like a false dawn. I felt a recurring pain in my pulled muscle on a training run last Tuesday, so I decided to skip the next two runs on Thursday on Sunday, to see if it went away.

Being injured and attempting to train whilst recovering is so frustrating! Hopefully everything will have settled down again by the time of my next training run, so I can continue. This stop-start business with this injury and recovery is starting to knock my confidence that I will ever get back to where I was six months ago.

    Hey Simon, have you been for any remedial massages? They are REALLY good, especially if you get a good musculoskeletal therapist. You’d probably have to have a few sessions, but it would be well worth it, and would improve your recovery time. Go on, get yer wallet out for a change!

    What do you mean, “for a change”? :)

    Anyway, yes I have decided to see a physio – I need to draw a line under this injury once and for all.
