Would be interested to know your training and how you avoid injury as I find minor injuries accumulate after running so long[/quote]
Hopefully this doesn’t hijack the thread…
While I haven’t been injury free, I have been pretty fortunate in staying healthy. Some people may think that’s simply because I haven’t worked hard enough :). I probably could have run faster if I trained harder when I was younger, but I am pretty happy that I can still get out the door relatively pain free 8 or 9 out of every 10 days and be somewhat competitive.
The consistency of the work has paid off over time since I have never been “out of shape” but have not really trained on the razor’s edge. As the great American philosopher “Dirty Harry” Callahan once said, “A man’s got to know his limitations”.
When I was younger, I never ran more than 95 miles in a week and rarely was over 70. Since I reached age 40, I have tried to keep my mileage consistently around 50-60mpw. I did increase that up to about 80 before my last marathon. That was successful, but I would not able to maintain that level for over 2 months without breaking down.
In general, I do one tempo run, one long run and either one Rep or Fartlek workout each week. All other days are easy 6 milers. I am Ok with taking a day off or adding another easy day if I feel run down or feel like an injury is coming on. I do flexibility exercises in the morning and evening. I eat pretty well and just try to avoid doing anything stupid (physically at least) that might lead to injury.
I hope that helps. Good luck getting back from your injury.[/quote]
This is great advice for us veteran runners, or masters as you say in the US. It's funny that quote is one of my favorites. I always knew I would break no world records (or even club records) Apologies for interupting the thread a bit. One mistake I made was thinking doing 2 or 3 runs a week I would not get injured - wrong!
I'm working on getting my weight down which would probably clear up my pf as it's not that bad. Can't stand the gym though but Mrs ukcoach dragged me down there last wk so its a start!
