So off to the physio this morning
usually I go for a swim first, but an earlier appointment and horrrendous traffic meant I had to settle for a coffee and banana instead!
met up with PT, who I have not chatted to for ages - made an appointment for a session next week to sort out a new programme - based on two sessions a week to build up core strength
so to the physio ....
yes my calf IS rock solid
and we'll just do a bit of massage and then dig in
apparently I have a very high pain threshold - which enables her to dig in hard!!
then some poking around in my back
and some advice on stretching to do between now and Windsor
must do it!
she also suggested some 'soft tissue needling' - a kind of acupuncture to release the tight bits - anyone know anything about it?
she's going to try it out in a couple of weeks
the other senior physio came in while I was there - she is physio to the England Women's Cricket Team and was on the bus last week and went to the Downing Street reception. Interesting insights.
training schedule
I should not plan a week's schedule ahead, it never works out
I was planning to gym today but was lucky to get physio appointment instead, but I have to take teenbeanz to his athletics tonight, as mrbeanz has a meeting
so I could plod round the field for a couple of miles while teenbeanz is training
I was planning to go to club night tomorrow but mrbeanz has booked himself a gym appointment [he forgot I go to the other club on a Wednesday :<( ]
so I have to take other teenbeanz to archery and will not get to my club run
maybe I will try a lunchtime plod tomorrow in preparation for the Windsor start of 1.00 pm - I NEVER run at that time of day
