Just under eight weeks to go and it's game on!
I have been signed off by the physio, who has been fantastic. I have a whole heap of exercises to keep my pesky weak hip in check but basically all i can do now is keep increasing the mileage and see what happens. My ankle is still not 100% and can be very stiff for the first few miles but at least now it is just a dull pain rather than the sharp, stop you dead in your tracks pain I originally started with!
Speaking of increasing the mileage - successfully ran 16.5 miles on Sunday. It should have been 15 but having run into the city centre via the cycle path I realised there was actually no way back in the 2 miles I had left to complete. Still this now represents my longest run ever and the next day I could still walk - so result!
Glancing back at my original schedule - distance wise - I am not far off where I planned to be it is just the 120+ mile building blocks that I am missing from January. I am noticing that each week the previous weeks furthest distance is the point at which it all starts hurting - I guess this demonstrates training in action!
