Today has been a lot better. Firstly, my back is feeling better. It's not totally right but I ran today, about 4 miles, and it felt really good.
Plus, I put in what must have been my strongest final mile of the year, at around 80-85% maximum output. I took the opportunity to let myself get drawn along by someone cruising on a bicycle I almost caught them too! It's probably the fastest I have ever ran down Rogues lane! Because I have had some rest recently I felt really fresh when I started my run. Despite this, I am still looking forward to some physiotherapy next week so I can identify and address the cause of the injury so I don't get it again. My back does feel a bit tight this evening.
Secondly Skins have sent me about 300 quids worth of compression clothing in the post, which is really good, I'm looking forward to giving it a run out to trial it, I know a lot of people who swear by it but I'd like to draw my own opinion on it. I don't think I'm quite ready to start wearing it all at the moment though, all the gear and no idea comes to mind.
Which is me all over I suppose.
