Winchester 10k 1:26.20

So much fun 

Talked the entire way round, pace was very easy, loved seeing so many work, tri, running buddies. 

Maybe by 8km I was starting to feel abit tired and maybe by the time we got to the rec at 9.25km my legs were starting to get sore 

Groin fine the entire 10k

Left glute fine

No accident related pain. So happy

Did have a weird moment at mums this evening when my left hip seized up and I started limping. Very odd experience. No idea why it happened. But okay now. 

Starting to get sore as id expect from running 10k

Be fun to see how the DOMS are tomorrow 

But overall utterly delighted 

Recovery update 🥰

Hmmmmm

I'd say it's going really well

At CLS I did loads of running, racket sports, swimming, fitness classes

Loads of walking 

X3 treatments 

Yep, it felt great

But… my groin was sore when I did intense activities such as the 5-8k runs 

My left glute / left lower back was sore 

So, what can we take away from this?

As I up the intensity I'm going to be sore as my body adjusts to the extra strain / impact. This is to be expected. This is okay. 

If I'm still experiencing this soreness after I've done the Southampton half at the end of April then that will not be okay. As I keep saying I'm excited to find out xx

Day 11 - some tips

Running school - look up more

Myofascial release massage - breathe deeper  - it's causing my chest to be very tight. Hips are an issue but then you'd expect that. Keep having massages

Rest day

Swam 400m in the lagoon before breakfast and then decided to join karyn and sharon with vik to do some sightseeing 

We checked out Cesar Manrique's bonkers house

Then off to Arrecife for lunch and a look around the town

Def needed today to regroup and rest 

Day9 - groin is sore - very active today

Today has been very active

Alot of running about the squash court and squatting down to pick up the ball. The trampoline fitness was a lot of jumping and the 5k road race was great but also hard 

So the groin / pelvis was well used today 🤔

Aqua jogging was great but I did really focus on my form so a lot of high knees in the water 

Plus as mentioned earlier, alot of high knees on the trampoline 🤣

And I guess the running motion does massively impact the groin. Luckily I've booked a super duper massage for 12:30pm Monday 🤗
