Further to my return to running on the treadmill I ran another 5K a week ago in a decent time 27 min ish. Ankle hurt a bit and the next time I ran it hurt a lot but I soldiered on.

After more swelling over the last couple of days I finally had it checked out - turns out I've been running on a fractured ankle.

Bastard - weeks in a cast now.

Unlucky willy. Rest strong.

I've started back this week with my speed endurance coach.

40 minutes continuous effort.

Find a big hill and run up and down it for 10 minutes at 70% effort
Shorten the distance by 1/4 and increase the effort to 80%
Halfway up the hill and run at 90%
3/4 up and sprint as fast as you can

To warm down do 10 squats, 10 lunges and 10 press ups
Repeat 4 times

I also ran 1 mile there and 1 mile back from home.

Knackered.

I'm tired just thinking about it! We do hills with the intermediate (teenage) group sometimes. Its a good session.

I took the adult endurance group last night. Did some sprint endurance work with them culminating in a 4 x 100 relay round the track for a bit of fun. Surprising how competitive they were considering most haven't picked up a baton since school! Their drills were appalling though, several seemed to struggle with their co-ordination....

Don't make it more than it was! It was a fracture of the Sacrum. Part of the Pelvic girdle and supported by a number of other bits.

A fractured ankle must have been bloody murder. :shock:

I know, hence why i added the wink!

You blokes must either a. have a high pain threshold or b. be a little bit silly....

And yet a little sniffle is instantly man flu and knocks you all out for ages and you're moaning for weeks?! :conf:

Bruce Rioja · **Posted:** Wed May 30, 2012 10:08 am

By the way, Gaz. How did you fracture it (or shouldn't we ask?) And Willy - how did you bust your ankle?

I've torn the sets of ligaments in both ankles, both times running backwards to defend throw-ins. My word, that's painful.

Pah. That that you were recently dismissing as 'Man Flu' was a chronic chest infection I tellz ya. I was coughing up nuclear isotopes and everything.

No idea. It's not an impact injury. But having suffered that, my Coccydynia (pain in the arse) and regular shin splints (greenstick fractures of the medial tibia) it's been suggested I get a bone scan done as I seem to be prone to inflammation and fracture.

Either that or I go back on the 40 a day, 50 units a week habit I used to have when I was young and injury free. :pissed:

While I was hobbling around with damaged ligaments in my left ankle (from running) I slipped off a pavement and turned my right ankle over thus fracturing it. Pretty annoying really.

It's all this being fit and running stuff that causes these fractures.... :-)

A couple of pages of pictures talking about how sexual maturation affects atheletes! Of course you WOULD flick straight through to that and stop... :roll:

And Colin would read the title wrong... :roll:

Am off to ask Mar a question...
