  • I haven't written too often in the last weeks. Going to start a new job on Monday, in another place, so it's a bit messy at the moment. I enjoyed my last free week running AND cycling every day (with moderation) I felt very good, and cycling after a run really is very good for me, my legs feel great, don't know why.…
  • I tried to run earlier this week but my tendon was not ok. 2 weeks without running, record for me I rode my bike instead. The level of fitness that running gives you is amazing when you ride. Today had the insane idea to try a sort of gran fondo, and my garmin managed to make me losing in the middle of some fields. Anyway,…
  • I've been a week without running! I think my tibia anterior tendon got inflammed, last week was a tough one for me, so i over run to find some stress relief and i knew it was not a good idea after the marathon. My calculated mistake. I stopped my long run last Sunday just in time to avoid more.damage. So this week was bike…
  • raining day, so no bike ride. done 9 miles yesterday and 9 today, today was a bit tired. hope in a sunny day tomorrow, so i can ride, as i don't want to run too many days after the marathon. i kept my pace very slow on purpose, and i have to say that i feel good, i'm sure if i was not moving i would be worst. these…
  • 10k in totale relax, It is a wonderful day and i hope I'm going to have a job soon, so i went out just to shake my body after yesterday marathon Today should have been bike day but i couldn't be bothered to ride for more than 2 hours I'm not tired, yesterday after 81k steps and all the activities done i slept only a…
  • Oh mia bella Madonnina, che te brillet de lontan, tutta d'òra e piscinina, ti te dòminet Milan; (Good luck with Google translate) Just 2 things 1) that *kitten* *kitten* of a *kitten* muscle made me mad today. Will book a surgeon, gp, whoever tomorrow 2) not tired at all, more than 70k steps so far and feeling super. Need…
  • 45k ride this morning, took wrong roads and ended up on very busy road, wanted to to the usual 50km but i took it as a sign. I'm feeling extremely drowsy, I can not sleep and then i pay.yhe price of it during the day. Also i manage to be in standby mode trying to save any drop of energy for Sunday, but the combination of…
  • Ops wrong month
  • @ddmom0811 ouch! amazon lost my summer cycling kit and i'm using my dad's one, that's 2 sizes up, you can imagine how unconfortable is down there... but just go! who cares, I had the same thought "guy got arrested as he was peeing in the middle of the road" for a while, but the discomfort was too much and I decided to…
  • 50km bike ride on Monday, was feeling good despite the 20 miles on sunday, got my legs relaxed but i hit the lunch time traffic and that was annoying. run 9miles yesterday, gorgeous day. so in the afternoon i couldn't resist and went for a 25km super relaxed bike ride. damned i should not have done it, as today i was tired…
  • Milan, I'm done. About 21miles as planned, could have done more but my muscle was not bothering me too much, so i preferred to not wake the sleeping dog up. I'm ready mentally, my back is ok, the only.problem is that muscle, let's see what happens on Sunday. Went out really late and roads were desert, very relaxed long…
  • i found benefit in keeping me warm before the run, i go just after breakfast and I like now to wear a sportsuit even if it's warm, maybe it's just a silly thing but for me it works then no warm up, i just run. if you are prone to injuries, then probably - you are doing too much too fast - have the wrong shoes - have some…
  • Yesterday 9 miles were not tough. I'm in low morale for different reasons so run went fast being lost in my thoughts, and leg didn't bother me too much. Pt told me the only way to get better is to keep working on the muscle, music for my ears! Today sunny and hot, perfect for my pre long run ride. Only problem is my…
  • felt sick yesterday so havent eaten properly, today i'm super hungry but i cannot overdo. so this morning run was not great, i felt a bit weak. plus grey, cloudy, not very motivating. in few words, today i couldn't be bothered. anyway, done my 9 miles and tomorrow should be bike day, if it doesn't rain. if it rains i'll…
  • Yes, on my hands in particular. I just suck it up but it's not pleasant. I don't think you'll damage anything. Maybe try to use some feet warmers, even if they last 20 minutes it's still 20 minutes less of pain.
  • see you in a couple of month rest day. really bored and lacking energy yesterday, and of course my muscle did not change at all even with 48hours rest. just have to suck it up and pray for the marathon, in the worst case i'll need ti stop a few times and relax that *kitten*. 9 miles this morning, grey day so not the best…
  • @_nikkiwolf_ no it's my 3rd and only had 4 weeks to prepare it, so I'll have prob 2 days tapering. I don't like to follow any regular training, so I'll do what i think i can do. If I'm wrong I'll notice it. Rest days are so boring, but had to take 1. Now.going to have lots of fun at the supermarket :neutral:
  • Today lesson: if you have a 22 miles run do sleep more than 3 hours before. Anyway, done it, had very nice experiences during this run, i saw giant pizzas, talking doughnuts, the footpath looking like a.giant and extra soft bed, coffee cups dancing around me, and more. It is damned hot and dry and of course i forgot my…
  • nice 9 miles run this morning, was lost in my crappy thoughts and didn't even noticed I run. but it's really hot and i'm not used to run in this temperature, i feel like a turkey being roasted in an oven. tomorrow hilly ride, thanks amazon to have lost my cycling summer jersey...
  • @ddmom0811 no running High, my comment was just objective and based on facts. :smiley: Felt awful after the 20miles run yesterday. Today my bike took me to a 50km ride, i managed to relax my muscles and I feel much better now. Nice day, sunny and hot, wanted to ride for just 20-30k but then the bike took me farer. Tomorrow…
  • Ehhh I'm having the classic mildlife crisis :) But the shoes are even silky !Run 8 miles then straight 20 today and had no probs at all!
  • I'm working on your option 1 and havent thought of option 2 because I'm too busy on working on option 1 and my brain is distracted :)
  • Sunny day, perfect for a 20 miles run. Running in Italy is definitely different from running in UK,I'm not used to this temperature and dry weather, so i need to start to use.some gels. Mentally again i was lost in my thoughts and had no problems, but the leg.bothered me a lot. Got.pt on Wednesday but I'm a bit down…
  • nice post! all so true for me for example it was harder to get out than running. during that type of run, while I was enjoying it, I was thinking how silly I was just out of the bed to not want to go. nowadays I just wake up, have breakfast and go, without thinking. different for marathon training. during my first cycle I…
  • sometimes you don't need to reboot a garmin - if the server is down you can have all sorts of annoying problems! I run yesterday after a 3 hours sleep. not good, but I knew it today I went cycling on hills near home, at a point I really thought someone was running me over. I think a double bus came 15cm from my elbow. but…
  • and if you wanna laugh, this is how you register for a marathon in italy 1) must become a member of fidal, italian athletic federation, buying a runcard. runcard that is virtual, they dont even bother to send you an actual card by post, you have a pdf picture 2)spend 1 month to identify the right health center, then 1…
  • nice 13km run this morning interview was really positive (thanks @7lenny7 ) also invited for another in another place on friday but i'm really really really concerned now, it looks like a lump on the top of my foot grew overnight. reading a bit it looks like a ganglion cyst, but it doesnt feel like a cyst, it's extremely…
  • I am a moderate overpronator tried different make, asics, brooks, new balance, saucony, nike, ua, mizuno my top 3 is 3. ua gemini 2 2. brooks ravenna (done more than 1000 miles, still good) 1. saucony guide if anyone wants a pair of nb 1260 with only 400km ... absolutely *kitten* for me was also disappointed by nike…
  • 30.5km (19 miles) today, quite happy. mentally, nothing could break me, I really hope that this is not going to change, time passed so quickly and I didn't feel any fatigue leg bothered me just twice, after 20k and 25k. I hoped it was 100% but i know i must be patient. overall, a good 30k, now 3 weeks to marathon. 50k flat…
  • sorted a few things out new laptop gp certificate registered for Milan marathon on the 2nd april 4 weeks to prepare it, but considering I'm feeling better and I really need a new challenge, who cares, I've got 2 choice in the end 1)running it and finishing it 2)running it and finishing it I really have to say that I've…
