Being a Saturday , today was meant to be a long bike day (1hr45 to be precise) but I had also organised for CJ from Total Sports Therapy to take a look at my achilles. The appointment was at 11:30am and originally I had thought that I'd be able to go for the bike before we went there. I hadn't really thought about it properly though, as after getting up nice and early, I realised that I wouldn't make it back to the house till about 10am and that would just not leave enough time to have a shower, get ready and pop into the local bike shop (Lobbs) to talk new steeds. Needless to say then, that there was no bike ride for me today. Instead I figured that I would be able to do a nice slow hour run with Sian and then head out for a gentle two hour ride on my own. On top of this, I also want to go swimming with Halstead SC tomorrow as well.
Back to the physio though, after having a brief chat with CJ she took a look at my legs and other than being a bit tight they are okay. I was starting to get a bit on the worried side about them, worried that I would not be able to run 26.2 miles on its own let alone after a 2.4 mile swim and a 112 mile bike. Thankfully though, CJ explained that as long as I stretch after running and general training, as well as completing some exercises in between I should be fine. That is as long as I do the training properly and don't go too hard or too fast too early. Just to be on the safe side, I'll also be making other appointments to see her once a month, especially as my quads and IT bands are tight, along with achilles.
Big day tomorrow and it's almost 10pm, time for me to hit the hay.
