Rest

On call - worked all day

Rest

12 hour day at work and on call tonight. One episode of family guy, and the night feed then bed.

Run

18km 2.5hours with lots of stops

Felt OK so carried on running. I've been looking wistfully at the running trails around here - I finally managed one of them. Hope it wasn't too much. Still can't work out what muscle is responsible for the shenanigans with the right leg. Up until today the Ironman really was up in the air. The run is still a fair bit more than today - but i'm happy with that. One of the reasons for this session is that I'm on call for the next 3-4 days so won't be able to do that much.

Followed the Severn

Run

5km
Looking after children tonight so just time for a quick run. Pain free but very asymmetrical - hope that get better.

Run
- 5km to gym and back
Gym
- random weights to keep some muscle mass whilst calorie counting
Swim
- 1km 20mins

Massage
- A really good session

The gym was interesting - did some cable work tied to my ankle. Found when tied to the left leg and standing on the right my balance was awful. Also, doing scissor kicks there seems to be a muscle on my right leg I don't have on the left! I will investigate more.

Run

12.5km

The longest run for a while. Took the best part of 2 hours. It's like i'm learning to run again, beware of cycling too much.

8 Weeks to go

Run

5km

Slow paced. Really felt the right leg wanting to cross the midline on the return leg. No i'm thinking its an adductor problem. Difficult to get a massage there as it's a little intimate!
