London is coming

Hi All

Running is going really well at the moment, just returned from this mornings 18 mile and felt really good. Back problems seem to be sorted although I am still visiting my chiropractor once a month to keep it in check. I have over the last two months also been and had gait analysis done and mechanical assessment done. Very expensive but seems to be paying dividends. After £500 for assessment and one pair of orthotic insoles + new shoes I am now running pain free in my calves for the first time in around 4 years which means I can train without worrying that my calves will tighten any minute.
I am now training 6 times week four runs and two gym sessions really enjoying it. If you have been following this blog then you will know that my weight as been a problem, however no problem now with the high mileage and weight training I am the lightest I have been in around 5 years and the weight is still coming off.
Really pleased and training hard I will keep you informed with an update after London.

keep smiling.

Hi Danny,

Congrats on your London result. Even if the time looks dodgy compared to Barry's time ;).

I'm looking forward to reading about the race and your experience because i have a deferred place for next year and any tips (apart from 'just enjoy it') would be great!

Looks like that £500 was money well spent? Glad that you are back on track fitness-wise.

Steven.
