I'm on kid-duty! :) When do you the yoga/TRX? On cross training days or after your run? You'll do great on your next full! WOW, in a week!! How exciting!! Didn't realize it was that close! Yay for no injuries! I'll be thinking of you! :)Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12541281876496528189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856512486205633523.post-45805958046944423102013-01-13T18:02:25.299-05:002013-01-13T18:02:25.299-05:00Bummed you won't be running MCM again!

Also letting my chronic injuries heal a little before ramping up the mileage after MCM helped. Marathon #2 is in a week. It won't be a PR it will be fun and I won't be going into it with injuries!!! I have to wonder just how much of my injuries were aggravated by the stress pre MCM...

You sound like me! ...Aimee, thanks for stopping by! You sound like me! How many times a week do you run? Which training plan are you following? Sounds like you have a good plan to stay injury free and yes, that is a good thing - stretching, rolling, icing as much as you can and when you definitely feel you need it. It's so easy to skip them because after a long run you just want to get through the day. Best wishes to you and in your training! Here's to an injury-free marathon #2 for us!

Injury messed up my first marathon attempt so I'm going for attempt number two in April.<br /><br />But, I definitely learnt a lot of lessons last year when it comes to injury. <br /><br />Be sensible is one of them. I know I need rest days so I always make sure I get at least two a week. I've also started cross training to make sure I'm using other muscles and giving my running muscles a break.<br /><br />I'm definitely being over-cautious now. I'm icing, foam rolling and stretching more often but I guess that can only be a good thing, right?!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01267902650241104357noreply@blogger.com
