Easy jog round Rivelin and Stannington. Bailed on the planned long run as right leg tight again - knee and calf very niggly. Windy, muddy, slow and sore right leg meant unfortunately I did not enjoy this run at all.
Apart from yesterday, this has been an extremely rubbish week of running.
National XC at Wollaton Park - 37th. Felt ok after another enforced rest from niggles this week. Fast undulating course on firmish grass with short stretches of bogs, ditches and tussocks - really enjoyed these muddy bits and found myself looking forward to them as they nicely broke up the course.
Right hip not quite right - better than before but leg not moving quite right, muscles tight again and not feeling balanced.
Back to physio for si joint manipulations - definitely feeling more symmetrical after.
Right leg very tight so precautionary no track. Cross trainer instead in the packed gym.
10 x 2 mins on level 16 with 20 seconds recovery (to reduce boredom). Couldn't get heart rate above 165 however hard I tried. So dull - very glad to get out of there asap.

Note
Sports massage - right glute had spasmed up around sciatic nerve hence back, glute, hamstring, knee and calf all extremely tight. Taking it as a warning to take marathon training sensibly - main goal is to make the startline, not to run fast. Plus more stretching required.
