30:00 | Cliff Young pace Week 7 of 13 My last massage session has worked wonders on all my sore bits and my new stretching regime has kept them somewhat under control. I set off this morning for a nice easy lap of the park and managed that without too much stress. I do have a residual ache in my left glute but that seems to be getting slowly better with the deep hip and glute stretches that I doing. The good thing as that my ITB seems to be behaving itself now which is a relief. With all the talk of others having ITB issues I was worried that this might manifest itself into a long term problem. A combination of Berta's massages, "denting" with the rolling pin and a daily lashing from the Marathon Stick seems to have worked a treat. I'll remain conservative with my runs for this week, continue with the daily deep stretching program and will hopefully be able to resume full training by the weekend. Mood: --->
