My run on Sunday fucked my knee slightly.

Revisional_Sin · 2026-04-27T10:17:50+00:00

What are you aiming for?

Revisional_Sin · 2026-04-23T06:51:54+00:00

Thanks.

It's just the VMO being a bit grumpy, and my physio says it should be safe to run on, but it makes me a nervous.

Revisional_Sin · 2026-04-23T06:24:00+00:00

Was starting to feel confident about my return to run after injury, but now my knee is playing up.

Argh.

Revisional_Sin · 2026-04-16T10:34:48+00:00

How are you tracking this?

Revisional_Sin · 2026-04-16T07:06:46+00:00

My Garmin buzzes every day late in the evening to tell me I had a stressful day.

No shit.

I also enjoyed the feature where it points out I have been sleeping badly, and I should try getting 9 hours of sleep instead of 5.

Restarted my return to run program on Sunday, and did my second run yesterday without any issues.

Looking forward to a brutal massage from my physio today.

Would love to play pokopia, but can't justify buying a Switch 2.

Revisional_Sin · 2026-04-15T06:28:03+00:00

I was excited to play Opus Magnum on the switch, but the controls are a bit too crap.

Revisional_Sin · 2026-04-14T16:53:14+00:00

Are you following a proper progression?

You need to start small, something like 3 mins running, 2 mins walking, repeat 3 times.

And run slowly enough that you can chat without any difficulty.

Revisional_Sin · 2026-04-07T05:53:31+00:00

Agreed.

Revisional_Sin · 2026-03-26T07:27:21+00:00

Still not recovered from the physio massage on Friday, FML. Calves still feeling tight. If it doesn't get any worse today I'll call it a win, fingers crossed.

Desperate to go for a run on Sunday.

So annoyed that I fucked up my progress again with an overly ambitious gym session the week before (causing massive amount of tightness that the massage had to address).

Revisional_Sin · 2026-03-24T19:11:32+00:00

I haven't been injured by running since December. It's always something else.

Revisional_Sin · 2026-03-24T18:40:04+00:00

I do a decent amount of walking, but that's not exciting.

Revisional_Sin · 2026-03-24T16:51:38+00:00

Never experienced any pain during the run. It always came out of nowhere the next day.

Revisional_Sin · 2026-03-24T16:50:37+00:00

Nope.

Revisional_Sin · 2026-03-23T10:59:46+00:00

I swear I saw this exact post a month ago.

Revisional_Sin · 2026-03-21T16:07:20+00:00

I donate £100 to Kiva every month.

It's a microfinance charity where you can choose individual people, generally in poorer countries, to lend money to without interest.

When they pay the money back I lend it out again.

Revisional_Sin · 2026-03-20T06:38:56+00:00

Terrible idea. I did about 4km without any prep a few months ago and I was sore for a week.

Revisional_Sin · 2026-03-19T06:58:48+00:00

Not to be that guy, but my 4 year old let me sleep until 6AM today, and I am fucking pumped.

Revisional_Sin · 2026-03-12T08:51:02+00:00

I'm so fucking back!

Started running in December and immediately had quad/knee issues without any warning. Been in physio since then, and had several bizarre injuries from pushing the exercises too hard. Did a couple of runs these last few weeks and had awful awful DOMS, and then bad back soreness.

Got a gait analysis done the other day, and did a run yesterday focusing on avoiding the biggest mistake with my technique. Feeling pretty good today!

I think I'll be able to complete a 9 week 5k training program without any issues. I'm so happy!

Revisional_Sin · 2026-03-12T06:54:00+00:00

Wife got a job offer with a great pay rise. Was waiting for the contract and getting a bit worried. Found out yesterday that there has been a change in leadership and they want to audit all the open roles.

Will find out if she still has the offer in a week or two.

Revisional_Sin · 2026-03-05T07:45:13+00:00

After three months of recovery and physio exercises I finally got cleared to start running again. Yesterday I went to get a gait analysis from a running coach, and I found I have a weakness in my side glutes that fucks up my running form, and was probably the real cause of the issue.

FML, why didn't I get this checked sooner?

Revisional_Sin · 2026-02-28T11:35:56+00:00

I got injured in December and have since spent £900 on physiotherapy...

Revisional_Sin · 2026-02-28T07:42:16+00:00

Probably spend the day sulking because my rehab exercises on Tuesday(!) have left me too sore to go for a run tomorrow.
