TheEd,
Completed 65 minutes on the cross trainer this morning, Heart rate was 127 average, Max 147.
No side effects with the groin from either todays or yesterday session.
The plan for the week is:
Monday - 30 minute cross trainer (if possible, 5 hour car journey).
Tuesday - Fartlek.
Wednesday - 40 Minute cross Trainer.
Thursday - 30 minute cross trainer.
Friday - Rest.
Saturday - 30 minute very easy cross trainer.
Sunday - Ormskirk 10k Race.
I have purchased some compression shorts for the training sessions, not sure what benefit they will give if any with the groin. I agree that this needs to be rested fully, but at the moment, I am wanting to get through the next four weeks then I will take a break, and hopefully come back stronger.
The groin does not seem to be getting any worse with using the cross trainer, and as yet, I cannot determine if it is getting better. Having had two serious ruptures in the past, I am aware of what can and is likely to happen. I will be looking for a physio this week to hopefuly get some treatment on the groin, hopefully after Tuesdays Fartlek session.
Having got so close to my target race, and the target times, I really do not want to take any serious time out over the next four weeks, but understand that if I get any worse I will have no choice......
Watched the great north run (21km) this morning whilst on the cross trainer, it is unbelievable to see the elite men and women running so comfortably at under 3 minutes/km. I have a hell of a long way to go.....maybe in another lifetime......
Hope you had fun over the weekend.
Dean.
