A totally rubbish week :-(

Hmmm - not the title I'd imagined for a blog about this week's training as I've been really enthused about only having 5 weeks to go.

Last Sunday my hamstring had been a bit tight, so I didn't push that day's run, not injured though, so not really a concern.  I started the week with a good kettlebell workout on Monday, day off on Tuesday then on Wednesday I set out to do my first intervals run of the week.  Unfortunately my back started playing up again and I gave up quite quickly.  That was when the significance of the tight hamstring dawned on me - with my problem they are connected.  Great.

I had some treatment on Thursday, and the osteopath said that Friday's kettlebell class would be OK so that was good, I was just a bit cautious about what weight I was using and avoided a specific couple of techniques.  Didn't do anything on Saturday.

Today (Sunday), beautiful sunny day, I decided to do a fairly short run, no speed.  I did an out and back along the Cycle Track because it is relatively flat with a good surface, just over 2.5 miles altogether. I struggled a bit, though my back didn't seem too bad.

I have another treatment session tomorrow, so fingers crossed.  Training wise I've just written this week off.  All being well I'll do this week's sessions next week, then move onto the last two weeks of training followed by the taper week - here's hoping!!
