Orienteering long (forest) 1:45:25 [4] 13.3 km (7:56 / km)
ahr:159 max:169 shoes: inov-8 mudclaw 330

That was the most enjoyable run I've had in weeks. It felt coordinated from the start, I could put my left foot exactly where I wanted it to go without effort. Great.

It took over an hour for the quad tendon to start complaining and it never really got as bad as it recently had done in only 10 minutes. Although my hamstring is very slightly sore now I didn't feel anything while running.

So all in all very promising. Just have to keep taking the exact same tablets and should be able to get something good out of the last 8 weeks before the multi-days.

Static Stretching & Massage (static) 4:00 [0]

Hip-flexors and quads.

Core Stability (floor) 22:30 [1]

After some feeling and researching I don't think I have a knee problem. It is more likely to be the beginnings of a quad tendon problem where it joins the cap.

Decided to not bother with drills and weights today, going to take a day off running completely and stretch my quads regularly, try and fix it quick. Can still do something however...

Standing twist-march, bird dog, twist-sit up, one-legged bridge, press up, side leg lift, march, suspended clam, cobra, kneeling diagonal rainbow.

Hills route...

Hot. Felt like I had a cold again and after 2 days in a row of hill training my knee is not happy. On the positive side my glute, hamstring etc seems better.

Felt much better climbing than running on trails during the warm-up. Having said that it doesn't take long on the descent for the knee to start complaining.

Now I've seen the back of that cold I'm finding it extremely hard to do what I'm told! Can't. Resist. Going running.

So the physio's theory is that my left side is weak, especially the gluteus muscles. I think that's true, well, maybe my left side is too weak for my lop-sided body. Can't understand why it would be weaker than my right side. One thing for sure is that my left quad, glute and probably hamstring feel tighter when I stretch them.

Plus to explain how I have seemed to be able to 'run it off' over the years the theory is that if I'm running regularly then my left lower back/glute/hamstring etc is activated enough to cope with the extra strain. If I don't run so regularly then they are not so activated and at risk of strains. Seems logical enough, certainly fits the history.

Reading back from when I got through similar problems last year I ran 3 o events in a row and before the third I did some stretching and then a staggered warm-up, 3 approx 5 minutes runs increasing the pace each time with a few mins rest in between. So this new jog/drills/run/weights/run routine I have matches that quite well.

Towards the end of the middle run I did start to feel the problems coming on, in both the hamstring and the knee. Running back home however was better and felt like I was actually running. Getting the HR above 160 wasn't hard either, glad that's back to normal.

2nd session with the physio at work.

Less disagreement this time, she even managed to persuade me to let her stab me a few times in the left arse cheek and leg. Before that some assisted quad stretching that in constrast was greatly appreciated and after some massage.

Running warm up/down (road) 4:55 [1] 0.9 km (5:28 / km)
ahr:122 max:135 shoes: adidas cc ride

Drills (track) 11:00 [1] 0.7 km (15:43 / km)

Running (road/xc) 22:20 [2] 3.7 km (6:02 / km)
ahr:140 max:151 shoes: adidas cc ride

Took it nice and easy, I've been told not to run for a week and concentrate on glute and hamstring exercises plus I do have a very slight cold.

The thing is how else am I going to get to the track and the utegym? That would mean finally finishing building the MTB I bought last Summer. Or walk I guess but really time inefficient either way.

Knee feels a lot better, don't know about the hamstring/bum as I couldn't really feel anything else other than the stab wounds.
