Spoke to Wayne this morning – we should be ok for the gazebo, and possibly the stove. Will sort it out with Wayne 🙂
So what was said at the meeting on Thursday?
Do we need to bring anything in particular or are we all sorting ourselves out??
Are most people turning up on the Friday???
Hi Suzanne
Sadly there is no miracle cure….
Has the pain come on through running?
Are your running shoes a bit tired and in need of replacing? It’s always good to visit a proper running shop like Run Swindon who will check out your form and make sure you’ve got the right shoes. Squishy socks can help too.
Rest is best, but that doesn’t mean you have to stop exercising – biking or swimming will help keep you fit.
Ice those shins – it really does help!
Ibuprofen may help reduce the inflammation (but I personally don’t like taking pills so never bother with this).
When you start running again, keep the mileage low and run on soft surfaces rather than tarmac – the grass in the Abbey Grounds is PERFECT. Go slow. Avoid drills/efforts/fast running for a while. You want to keep the impact as low as possible.
My personal cure-all for running injuries is a long soak in a hot bath with a glass of wine and a good book 😉
Other people will tell you that ice baths are good… Those people are weird.
You could try compression socks or calf guards. I like calf guards for long runs. Some people wear compression gear for all their runs. Try it and see.
The internet is a fantastic resource – use it! (but don’t believe everything you read).
Basically, experiment and find what’s right for you 🙂
Best wishes for a speedy recovery

We can’t make the meeting – in Nottingham – but count me out of food/tent arrangements. I’m sure Andrew will be happy to go along with whatever is decided about teams, food etc. He’s got his own tent.
Andrew is coming back to Cirencester on Sunday afternoon and will have room in the car if anyone needs a lift back or wants stuff brought back. I’m staying down there on the Sunday and coming back Monday – if anyone has room for me in their car on Monday that would be great (otherwise I can jump on a train at Plymouth)…

Top bloke – with some good advice :-
“The best advice I can give is to train hard, but remember to let yourself recover,” he said.
Some folks are staying at the Plymouth city centre Travelodge on the Sunday night (10th May) to save having to drive home tired. Rooms are cheap (£31) but going fast….
