Good stuff Dipps fingers crossed for you

A light sports massage this morning aches from Manchester given the once over. A gentle walk this afternoon early night due as getting picked up at 04:45 for lift to Heathrow airport in the morning. Hope not to have the tribulations of ITG ;-)

Good luck to the VLM runners enjoy the occasion

Good luck to TM at Shakespeare half enjoy :-) & to WtnMel

I hope Paul H can sort you out Dipps

Good luck to all the lucky racers this weekend. When the going gets tough, just think of all those unlucky 700ers stuck on the bench that would give anything to be in your place. And most importantly, don't forget to have fun :-)

That's positive, Dipps, even if not quite the "take this pill and you'll be running marathons by Tuesday" you could probably do with by now :/

Good news Dipps :-)
So far today I have had a lot less pain from my trapped nerve in my head so fingers crossed for a better nights sleep and back to running tomorrow

Turtlemama
Just got back from the Lakes and lots of cross training to add to the log (including a little run along Windermere). Not sure that counts as taper/rest but the turtle loves canoeing, scrambling, climbing etc. At 4 she actually led half of a roped scramble. (obviously the bits where TP and I couldn't possibly fall, but she's learning ropework) So proud!!

Sorry not to have time to read back the 30 or so pages I've missed, and thanks for the good luck for Sunday. I'm a little nervous to put it mildly. We're doing a route recce tomorrow by car so I can work out how bad the horrenda-hill at 8ish miles really is! With weather forecast 8C at the start I can't decide long or short sleeves, but am veering towards short with gloves I can stuff in my flipbelt if I get hot.

Thanks also to PP for the reality check. It may be cold, windy and hard, but somehow despite (in the last yr) prolapsed discs, hip bursitis, metatarsalgia and knee pain, I've made it to the start line. Which maybe is an achievement in itself. (relative) couch to 20k here we come!

Wishing you a good sleep, LG.
Travel well & good luck in Düsseldorf, RRR luck
Have a great half, Turtlemama training all done & looks a great race.
Photoset, hope a medic appears soon. A swim buddy is on tramadol routinely to manage arthritis, got her off nsaids, almost no pain, no nasty side effects & less meds.

luck to all of you in London, weather looks improving. I’ll be watching you!

More luck for Mel, that looks another nice scenic race.

I was going to enjoy a practice run on the cliffs tomorrow, might need to rethink that idea 😂

A bit more positive Dipps.

Good luck to all racers, runners, cheerers this weekend. Quiet one for me with just a little run scheduled for tomorrow.

Photoset, I'm a paramedic not a doctor, but I don't think tramadol would be the best idea. If you need sthg stronger than ibuprofen you'd be better to try to get naproxen on prescription. Tramadol can have funny effects on some people, and as a synthetic opioid, works completely differently to anti inflammatories. If you absolutely know that you don't get sick or dizzy with codeine, then I'd probably advise trying the combination of over the counter co-codamol (8/500) with ibuprofen (or naproxen if you can get a prescription)

Usual caveats regarding Internet advice apply.

Hells bells photoset don’t take tramadol unless you’ve taken it before and are sure it doesn’t knock you off big time!!! Bloody busy day on bloody busy week I’ve already forgotten what you were taking it for...hold on
