Recovery Week

Recovery was pretty good from the Marathon last week, although ITB was extremely sore Sunday night. The good thing was that it was fine throughout the race and come Monday morning was a lot better. Hammy and Plantaris are a bit sore at present but this is a regular occurrence so overall have come out of it pretty well. Had a deep tissue massage on Friday which confirmed the tightness in these areas, have another booked for Friday.

Week in Summary

2 rides on Exercise bike, Wed and Thurs 30 and 35 minutes.
3 runs 24k @4.37 -Fri,Sat and Sun, each of approx 8km's.

6 days leading up to Marathon was 28k.

Next week I'll increase the km's and have a running analysis session with the physio, so this will be an interesting exercise to see what comes of it and whether any suggestions can be made.

Hope Epi and TB have recovered well from last week. Homo, hope the heel is recovering well.

Good to see that Sling is thinking of running another Marathon, hope to catch up with you in a few weeks time and go for for a run.

good to see you are getting physio and massage, all the best with sorting those injuries out.
Well done on Perth and Canberra! So now you have achieved your main 2008 goal twice, whats the goals for the rest of the year.
I have confirmed my entry for Melbourne the other day, just need to get some prep done, juggle my jobs, and everything else, do my tax and then hopefully sort out flights accomodation etc before October 12. Ive pulled up very well after Perth, so hopefully good to go and get focused on melbourne hopefully as of next week...
