A few months ago I started training with the Mad Dog. Shortly after I got injured so badly I could only hop around on one foot. Of course, I thought I couldn't started running training now, as I couldn't walk never mind run.
But, I thought I needed some expert guidance to get me through the injury, and to start running pain free. Something, perhaps, I've not had for a while. I seemed to run well for a month or two, then get injured, and stop running. That seemed to be the pattern I'd got into, and I wanted to break this, and get back to how things used to be....
When I could run every day, and never get seriously injured...when I'd train for a marathon, do 2 in one year, then do the London to Brighton as well. That's another failing, of course, living in the past and harking back to "past glories".
My best runs are ahead of me, and my personal bests will be broken in the coming years.
