On this day:

54:15 Easy/Steady, (8 Miles Approx)


I ran the Cambrian Way, Kennet, Circuit Lane, Bath Road, Tilehurst Road, Meadway loop (long name, eh?) with Rob in my new NB 832's at a steady effort. My knee wasn't too painful at all (just a little residual soreness) but the movement of my right leg feels restricted when compared to the left. We probably covered around 8 Miles in all, in the stinking weather. Who'd have thought it was June for Heaven's sake, and how long is our Summer going to last this year? About 2 weeks?..

Morning Craig. I see your friend Niel has a touch of "contextual malignment disorder" quite common in runners!

He does seem to, doesn't he! I remember mentioning my trick knee to you before you even agreed to coach me, so I'm not really sure how the 'fast stuff' can be responsible for my niggle (as I acquired it pre-Basingstoke).

Re: Tues AM.
I mentioned it in passing before the session to Martin (that I'd ran that morning). Reasoning: I had an osteo appointment booked for 1:30PM, and normally after seeing this practioner I'm lucky to be walking properly, let alone training 5 hours later- thus I was trying to pre-emp it by getting some running in earlier. I was considering doing the session with Rob, then reasoned that might not be advisable, thus why I only did warmup/cooldown with him.

Probably a mistake all in all, but the dodgey chronological location of the osteo appointment kind of ordained it..

Oh, just to clarify Neil, thanks for your take on things. I hope my comment to Barry didn't sound acidic. I just wanted to clarify when my injury started, publiclly like. I dont want anyone else (be it Martin, Barry, Andy or Jesus) getting blamed for what in essence is my own fault. We all do this sport acknowldging personal responsiblity for the minor risks involved, after all. I know you know my running quite well, so your take on it is always appreciated mate.

What about me? Blame me, I think I'm responsible. Well; Naomi is anyway

No, she's the 'responsible adult' in your relationship. That doesn't actually make her responsible for everything, quite the contrary...
