Second day is always worse. I’ll try to nobble Mrs BP, so to speak!
Gentle 5k with Bruce this evening, but sadly not gentle enough to not feel twinges in both thighs and one calf! Bloody old age!

I really think you should let your better half put her feet up occasionally and stop chasing her round the kitchen BP.

Re: The athletics/running thread
Ain't that the truth?! This evening's warm up was to walk the length of the close, warm down was to walk the length of the drive. Four miles ran and feeling it at the back of the thighs already. There's only myself to blame!Harry Genshaw wrote: ↑Tue Dec 15, 2020 4:43 pmHate to break it to you GG, it's also old age.

Four miles? Where the buggery did you run after I left? For the record, a stroll to Chae’s and back doesn’t count!

Re: The athletics/running thread
I can’t get her out of the kitchen just now. Still, I’m not complaining about home made lemon biscuits, rocky road, chocolate cookies, Jammie dodgers and Viennese biscuits. No wonder I’m so bloody slow! That’s my excuse anyway.

Re: The athletics/running thread
Well like Bruce I clearly now need them for injury prevention purposes. Rocky road I’m pretty sure should help my knee. Just don’t make her walk down here with the biscuit tin.Burnden Paddock wrote: ↑Tue Dec 15, 2020 11:00 pmI can’t get her out of the kitchen just now.

Re: The athletics/running thread
For all your doom and gloom predictions AT my knee is actually much better today On day 2. Even stood up to some stretching and work in Pilates this morning. I guess us younger ones just heal quicker or something?
(That said i’ll still be using it as an excuse to skive off runs for a bit yet.)

Re: The athletics/running thread
It feels like a rocky bloody road every time I go out these days! I’ll put some biscuits in the post, but I bet that greedy postman will eat them before he gets to yours. That’s what happened last time.Gooner Girl wrote: ↑Tue Dec 15, 2020 11:18 pmWell like Bruce I clearly now need them for injury prevention purposes. Rocky road I’m pretty sure should help my knee.

Re: The athletics/running thread
I decided I needed 2 days off with a sore hip. Turned into 2 weeks.
Tomorrow I'll be operating an industrial floor Sander, so I'll be lucky if I have any feet by Monday.

Re: The athletics/running thread
How are your feet LE?
Anyone got any grand athletic ambitions for next year? Mine involve the usual eat less junk food, do more exercise which I will probably fail at before the first week of January is up. I’d also like to see myself high up the age rankings in triple jump as a V40 which was the same ambition as last year but due to Covid didn’t really happen.

Been doing a bit of Joe Wicks to get my creaky hips ready for running again today.

These are races carried over from 2020
Bolton Marathon
Leeds Olympic distance Tri
Ironman UK
Swim Serpentine
London Marathon
In the meantime I've lost
Dambuster Olympic Distance Tri - Business folded no refund
Ride London - Cancelled, no deferrment
So still a full year (if it goes ahead) plus hopefully another couple of local races to get me IM ready.
N.B. all this is, of course, Covid dependant.
