In the last few weeks in the run up to the Marathon I've been concentrating on one thing only! As I've mentioned already I suffered a very minor injury to my ankle a couple of weeks ago and I'm trying not to make it worse!!
It's at time's like these that many runners defer their place until next year. However, for one reason and another I really don't feel that I can do that. It's important to me that I continue and just make the best of my run on the day.
I've kept both circuit training and running sessions as easy as possible, and I'm resting for a whole week now before the event. A little bit of physio and sports massage before will be just the thing to put me at the best I can be on Sunday!
It's also been a learning process, I never knew just how supportive zinc oxide sticky tape could be!! This isn't a cure obviously, and isn't something any runner should entertain unless circumstance dictates some drastic action. You simply wrap the stretched muscle or ligament in such a way as too compress and support it, it's remarkably effective.
The weather was gorgeous this weekend... I'm sure you're wishing for more of the same next week... I have to tell you that I'm not!! An ideal day would be a little overcast, cool and even the odd light shower would help too...
