Supplementary Questions
4.5 miles in 37:16
Route: DfES – Home 1
This week is a cross-training week in my training plan. I’m doing less running (which is good because I need a rest) and doing some other forms of exercise. I went spinning last night and am going to try to go swimming before the weekend (if only so I can look up another amusing quote about swimming).
An easy run then tonight – just from work to home and at a steady pace. My legs felt tired to be honest. Not sure if it was the hardcore spinning last night or just the accumulated fatigue of the training I’ve been doing this past few weeks.
Rather worryingly, I have developed the same problem in my right knee as I’ve had in the left. It’s been quite sore since I did my weekend long run on Sunday. I saw the osteopath today and she frowned when I told her. She suggested that I try to get my running style looked at, but even if that is the problem and we can identify where I’m going wrong, there’s little chance that I could adjust my style before the marathon.
She also suggested that I start taking Cod Liver Oil and Glucosamine supplements (supple being the significant syllable here) which could help to keep my joints lubricated. I’m willing to try it – can’t do any harm after all.
Am glad it’s an easier week in my plan, because I’m feeling mentally quite tired with everything at the moment. Work is hard right now as well, which isn’t really helping. Was trying to get a day off on Friday, but it’s looking unlikely. Left at 7.30pm tonight – thought I’d left those kinds of hours behind!
Think I will call Asters over the weekend to get some moral support. She’s the only one I know who has run the marathon and will understand just how hard it can be at times. I know she’ll have some wise words to keep me going!*
