Starting again

If I thought the MdS was going to be a challenge, having 3.5 weeks off training has made it even harder. I've got 20 weeks to go but woke up this morning feeling "normal". So I started slowly with 5 sun salutations and a head stand. Hardly a workout but a start. Tonight I visited my physio and he is pleased with the progress with my achilles but says that the jury's out on the stress fracture. So I've got some tests to do over the next few weeks to check it out. In the meantime I will be on the turbo trainer and swimming. I'm also checking out pool running in order to get my fitness up without putting too much strain on my foot or achilles. So today was a small but not painful step so here's to more of that, after all there is only 20 weeks to go!

  1. Pool running really works if you do it properly. Been there done that.

  3. Just replicate the session you would do on the road in the pool, but by time. So 6 x 1km efforts might be 6 x 4.30 mins with 20 min w/up & cool down. Keep drinking because you sweat but don't realise.
