Continuing easy running

This evening I ran a Ilkley Harriers club run - the slowish variety. We just ran about 10k around Ilkley at a very comfortable pace, which is exactly what the doctor ordered. I've not done a hard run now since Friday, so hopefully that will be beneficial in terms of recovery & preparation for races over the next 2-3 weeks.

After the club run we had a talk from physio Mike B on injury prevention which was quite interesting. It is clear that there is no magic formula for avoiding injuries, but having sufficient rest between hard sessions seems to be most important. Other than that, a lot of it depends on individual physiology & finding what works well for you.

Tomorrow is the track session at Leeds Carnegie. After last week's short fast reps, I think that we'll be having a less intense session. A number of us will be doing the road relay on Sunday, so hopefully no injuries will be forthcoming.
