Great memories.sports74.ru Isn’t it funny how finding a few photos, even from only a few years ago, can send you on a trip down memory lane? Loving life. And Noosa! ...
Its been 4 months post Surgery and things are much better . I can finally walk bare foot again .berryjam.ru I’m back to some moderate amounts of training . No particular program as such , just enjoying getting back out the bike and in the pool again . I’ve started running on the Alter G ( anti gravity treadmill ) and progressing slowly . I wont say its been smooth sailing . Not running for over a year a seriously weakened my feet and body .There a lot of niggles that are mentally challenging me . I’m back living on the Gold Coast...
After 5 months of near to no training , no pain relief .ir-leasing.ru I got some fresh MRI’s and had a discussion with my surgeon . ( he has successfully operated on my foot before in 2007 Different injury ! ) It had been long enough . The scans were disgraceful and it was time to operate. Of course I was hesitant on deciding what to do . Cutting or releasing the plantar fascia isn’t like touching something we ‘don’t need . The plantar fascia is a very important role in the foot functioning properly . My foot was too much of a...
As I sit here thinking of how to start this blog I would love it to be like any other … good news to tell , training is great and I’m ready to crack on with the season . Wishful thinking …polvam.ru Don’t get me wrong. I always consider myself a very fortunate, lucky person and it’s been these last 8 months especially I keep reminding myself that . I have really been struggling . In fact the last few months has by far been the toughest time I’ve ever been through. Physically and emotionally. And before you read the rest (...
Well firstly I’d love to wish everyone a Merry Christmas ! I hope you have a safe and fun filled day with family and friends .dekor-okno.ru My Christmas day will be with my family and close friends & this year I’m back home in Australia and happily sitting on the beach . Actually I’m currently sitting in the sand of a lovely little beach on the Northern NSW coast. The serenity! To me Christmas always seems a time to reflect on the year gone by. It also serves to remind myself how lucky and fortunate I am . So here we go , as...
If you have read my previous post you would know that post Madrid I have been struggling with my feet . Although I had some nasty and random aches I just put it down to typical PF . Week by week went by . I got more and more frustrated . I’d try the odd run in hope to be pain free . I came home from St Moritz to be helped by the wonderful and ever so knowledgeable Physio Alison Rose . My body a mess . Neurally and muscularly . After loads of treatment , rehab and even...
For a few weeks I’d had a little bit of a sore foot which I kind of managed through my easy runs . Then ,a few days before travelling to St Moritz I did a track session with this slightly sore foot /heel . It was nothing I couldn’t run through . Although it got worse on my recovery jogs of that session and the warm down I tried not to limp .Как укладывать брусчатку The next day I headed out for a run …fail . Even cycling was aching . I went to the doctor and probably rushed into the decision...
Back to Yorkshire…then onto,,,, Madrid ..Рудбекия In my last post I was on my way back from the States . I was happy to arrive back to Yorkshire and the country roads . I was determined to put in a good 4 weeks of consistent training (after falling ill a few days prior to San Diego) – before easing off the week of Madrid . I won’t lie , my immune system seemed to take a battering as it took me a while to stop coughing from the illness I picked up in San Diego but I trained through it . Onto Madrid…… Well my history at this race had always...
Leading into Auckland training went fairly smoothly . I went straight back into hard training . Maybe pushed a bit too much as I ended up straining my calf on the track which meant 1 week of almost no running but it was essential to rest it or it would be detrimental long term . The older, wiser me was smart to let it recover properly that week and I managed to get a good 10 days block- of training in thereafter – with an opportunity to escape to the Gold Coast and train with good friends Michelle & Stuey Hayes ,...
WELLINGTON OCEANIA OLYMPIC DISTANCE CHAMPIONSHIPSlux-standart.ru Less than 2 weeks after arriving back from the UK I made a last minute decision to jump on a plane and go Race Wellington Oceania Champs in NZ .A tad hesitant as I probably wasn’t over the long haul flight and also whether I should race Mooloolaba the following week instead . Anyway I flew in late and unrested, got there extremely tired and thought I’d made an error .Race morning I simply didn’t want to get out of bed . I probably under-estimated what a difference just a 3hr time zone change make ....
