How to recover
The day after my 10k in May, I went to Ragdale Hall in Leicestershire as a recovery plan. Though the journey up wasn't the most comfortable of my life, as I sat in the car with aching thighs and calves, after a massage and an hour or so in the thermal spa I began to feel better.
In the intervening four months, I've still been running, but my feet, ankles, calves, knees and hips are suffering still. Getting orthotics apparently takes a ridiculous amount of time, and you need special ones to run long-distance, which means even more expenditure. In a strange way, I'm really looking forward to the day I get the phone call to say the orthotics are in, though; running without aches and pains will be an entirely new experience!
I've got the first sponsorship monies in for the half-marathon now - and there's still five months to go.
