Recovery

Just added my ultra PBs. Not very tidy over there on the left but you get the idea. Hope to revise some of those later this year.

Bought another 300g of colostrum from Neovite ... it seems to be working as I've had no achilles pain for at least a week now (or maybe it's the strengthening exercises ... or the cycling ... or the stretching ... or the massage ... or the 'no running policy' ...)

Whatever, I'm getting better at last.

Slow progress

After yesterday's trial run on the exercise bike I decided to go for a whole 30 mins today. Nowhere near as much fun as running but necessary to maintain fitness for another 5 or 6 weeks ... not a very comforting thought.

The colostrum from Neovite.com arrived this morning. Mixed 1g with 300ml milk to test for tolerance as suggested - hope this stuff works. Applying Deep Heat 3 times a day and still progressing religiously with achilles strengthening exercises.

Feel good at the moment as the ankle seems to be less painful than of late.

New stuff and apologies

What a way to start the New Year ... new blog, new training regime and new injury which requires a new stationary bicycle, new supplements and new strength exercises.

The injury is achilles tendinosis and I've not run now for a couple of weeks but the pain is getting better and the achilles strengthening exercises seem to be working slowly. On the advice of Sharon Gayter's website I've also purchased a product from Neovite to aid recovery.

I've also had to cancel my plans to take part in the Crawley 12 hr race at the end of March. I hope Pam isn't too angry after I had promised to enter before the new year.

Must also say thanks to Carl Walsh and The Divan Centre for his kind sponsorship ... and apologies too for having to miss the first race.
