Today's Workout Thread

[whoever]

So yesterday's injury was definitely a hamstring tweak. Will have to take things easy over the next week.

It also appears I have an Achilles strain as well on the opposite leg. Looks like I won't be running in my Altra's for the foreseeable future and will have to go back to my Inov-8's which have a 5mm or 8mm drop (Trailroc 255 - 5mm; Race Ultra - 8mm). It's a pity because the Altra's were extremely comfortable and had a nice wide toe-box

Thats defienly a bummer, now to start on ani depressents :-)

I took a 45 mile bike ride yesterday.

That's a bummer, Thug.

Thanks for the commiserations.

All is not lost, still have 2 weeks to race day. So plenty of stretching (the Achilles), a change of trail shoes and I'll be fine.

Tony good luck with the recovery. I freely admit I know next to nothing about running owing to I suck at it but a strain in each leg is sure to slow you down. Hope it all comes together in time for the race

Thanks Ed, I'm sure I'll be fine come race day.

So I did this 15km trail race this morning but either got a bad case of cramp or tweaked a hamstring at around the 13km mark . Still managed a 75min finish but will have to take things easy over the next week. I don't want to ruin my trail running weekend at the end of the month.

A good mate of mine who was also supposed to run at the end of the month had a bad MTB fall on Thursday and cracked 3 ribs. So that has put paid to his trail running weekend.

Sorry to hear that, hopefully the recovery is quick.

Today's workout started as normal but on a second work set of deads I managed to pinch the nerve in my back again. Stopped and took some meds to help with the pain and stop the muscles clenching round it.

Couldn't do much after that so some light higher rep

bench bent over rows 20kg x 20 x 4 @ 2 mins
close grip v handle pulldowns 30 kg x 15 x 5 @ 1 mins
some reverse and normal wrist curls as usual.

Hopefully will all loosen up and can get back to it for Friday for legs.

Hope your pinched nerve comes right Ed.
