Had a fall

Running Thurs night, fell over just before getting home, my left ribs/chest and right knee copped the brunt of it and am still sore today. Trace wanted me to go to the Doctor Sat but held off hoping for some improvement on the weekend, however will go Tues if the pain persists as getting up,sneezing and coughing has been very painful.

The thing that is annoying was that I ran a couple of hundred metres more than I was planning on doing and fell within a couple of hundred metres from home, doh. It would have been pretty funny to have seen though, seeing me trip and then being sprawled across the island on Beaufort Street.

Week in Summary 32.5km

Tues pm Intervals Whistle Type Session 15 sec hard,15 sec slow,15 sec hard,15 sec slow,30 sec hard,30 sec slow,1 minute hard. All up 3 minutes running with 2 min break *5.
All sessions ran around the 860m mark and finished in the top 4 with the first guy way out in front. Found the session pretty easy and comfortably could have done another 1 or 2.

Good to see TB come along and give them a go, I'm sure he'll start attending them on a more regular basis.

Wed am 9.5km@4:41 Recovery

Thurs pm 12.5km@4:20

Hoping for a speedy recovery as not an ideal start to my training plan for Perth and would like to get a couple of decent weeks in before end of April.

All the very best to Epi for his sub 3 attempt at Canberra, should be a shoe in and to Sugar,Sas and Biscuitman in their attempts at Boston, all should well and truly meet their goals.

Hope it's just a minor issue and you'll recover soon.

Sounds like you've torn an intercostal or maybe even cracked a rib - these take a couple of weeks to settle down although shouldnt stop you running for too long

Let me know if you need any advice
