Well, unfortunately the "little niggles" that i picked up have stuck with me and dont show any indication of resolving any time soon. Managed a nice 7m run on thursday at a great pace, but afterwards the pain set back in afterwards.
Still planning on running the gloucester marathon as per the schedule, but have physio booked which should help me out a treat.
Have been cycling to make sure i get out and about and keep things moving, but ideally think that swimming would be the best thing for me., so will try and fit that in during the week.
Have been trying an alternative icing method that runners world talk about in this months issue, that being instead of sitting in an ice bath for 20minutes, you alternate been hot and cold water for 30 second cycles for 5minutes. Seems to be ok, but time will tell how effective it is once i get back on schedule.
Overally, not the greatest start to 2012, but still confident that things will pick up!
