Ok

well Ive done another run today at the gym and all went fine.
New trainers that felt good. No aches and pains although chest is a bit wheezy.

Ran on Christmas Eve for half an hour on treadmill at steady pace which Im pleased about as I dont seem to be doing many of them. Before that I did an outside run which was fine although slightly shorter than normal.

Need to get my enthusiasm back.

another run

sneaked to the gym and did another interval run. It went well and Im hoping it helps me increase my base running speed. Would like to get up to 8-8.5kph.
At the minute the slow plod hurts so im keeping up with the faster intervals but know it shouldnt be used every run.....if this ice clears I may get outside run to see if that hurts.

Next run at gym i may try heart rate running

Ouch

Attempted a run on the treadmill a couple of days ago.
Id come up with a plan, I was going to plod really slowly witha short stride so as not to pull groin.
Didnt work. Wasnt groin but top of hip where waist band sits. Got off machine in a strop and was sat waiting for harry to finish weights.
Watched a girl do speed intervals on machine, 30 secs running then jump off for 30 secs.
I was so mad I thought Id give it a go.
Didnt hurt. Granted I'd pulled my waistband up a la Simon Cowell so it wasnt pressing on hip bone.
Ran for 30 secs on 9,10 and 11 kph and jumped off for 30 secs.
Got a bit of a sweat on and felt Id done something at least. The other problem is over my ribs where bra strap sits. Its ok to start but when I start to have to take deeper breaths it pulls the muscles so I can only do it a few times.
See how today goes.

ow

Back and hip been shocking since last run. Have only gotten one in in a fortnight. Really pissed off.
Groin is very sore think from the back pain.
Cant run outside as weather snowy to say the least.
Going to gym tomorrow for a little spin, fingers crossed
