!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay so ive never been very good at listening o advice
i decided i needed to take a little shot at running a tad faster so i did. i did check with my friend who is a physio and she did say if i intend to run at sandown she thinks giving it a go in a safe controlled environment is the way to go
anyway did 3x200s at approx 50-52s(still doing a mid foot strike-cant quite push off properly) with jog recovery, then a break, then the same thing again(joined in with stu's group) then decided to gove 400 a crack so did a controlled 400 in 104s, could feel that my legs/achilles started to fatigue at 370m then jogged back and did last 100 with stu and hte group. did 1 more 400 with them in 98s, then even though i didnt want to i stopped. then i joined one of themums for a 3min jog/2min walk x3, plus 3 lap warm up so a good workout altogether
fingers crossed that the achillles plays lnice.
it does give me some confidence that once i cn get up on my toes at all my pace will come back nice and quickly :)
anyway about to ice and do all that stuff :)
just for you ewen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's good!!!!!!!!!!!!

You don't need to be up on your toes over winter anyway, so maybe slower reps with short recoveries might be the way to go. When I say 'slower', I mean 4 min k stuff - 96 sec 400s.

You're a grown up and you know what your body can handle, may as well test the boundries a little bit.
