Where as i have collected a random parcel i wasn't expecting from Coop (once it finally got dropped there being i am out during the week at work) to get my Beyond Trails hoodie i tagged onto my London Ultra entry. Was expecting to pick it up at the race so a pleasant surprise.
In hamstring news still hurts. THere was some legs on benches at work stretching etc. Some comments of can you not get your leg straight as well. Cheeky buggers. Mind you one of them had a even more bent leg than me so we are going with older you are the more bent it is

Keith - you'll get some wear out of the hoodie before the race then.
Hamstrings often are slow to heal.
We have yellow warnings (again) on Sunday for wind and rain. If you have too, won't be great conditions for your 10 mile race.

Aye 60 mph gusts for that one which i am not doing. 10 miles way to far on a dubious hamstring. Albeit i'd of skipped anyway as its rather exposed.

WP - That’s a real relief re your ticker
Big G- Best of luck!
Not great for me running wise. My hip problem from the race seems to have developed into a groin problem. Had to stop my easy run on Wednesday at 45 mins due to the pain. Managed 20mins yesterday on the treadmill before I started feeling it again so will give it until Monday to try again and reassess. I can still feel it while walking today although less than yesterday which is good. Not ideal at this stage as should be getting into the meat of training but let’s see how it goes

Rcouture - did you have this injury/niggle before?
I take it your friend said your treadmill was safe? 😉
Rest day for me today.

They did get here eventually last night very late (ie, midnight) and I think had to take a taxi from Malaga!!
We had a nice day yesterday. I did do a short run in the morning and felt rubbish so I’m not doing that today Also had some very nice food through the day and saw some of the sights. I do feel pretty good today, but I’ve had something of a lie on rather than going for a run. Caught up with a few Trotters/partners last night for drinks and had a good night.

Big G - glad to hear the A's got there OK, albeit very late. At least they can rest up today and relax.
Good luck for tomorrow, what time do you start?
Lovely sunny morning here, saw loads of runners out on my drive to food shop. Wind and gale force winds for my run tomorrow. 🤣🤣
Gym later today.

Rcouture: Hope the hip/groin eases off for you.
Shades: I have never seen so many runners out today.
Big G Rest and relax today
I was switching my long run attempt to today but body had other ideas 2+ miles for me as felt rubbish and Achilles /calf not happy.

Shades - Never had a problem like this before no. Feels like the whole area around the glute, hip and groin is inflamed with the groin becoming acute when running. Re the treadmill he kind of cleared it saying that it was just about below the weight limit for wooden joists but to check for any damage in rooms underneath after about 4-5 months.
