Great vlog! glad the knee held up for you! an ice cream after a race is always a goodun!
Well done, Chris! Buzzing the knee held up for you and to see Fordy make an appearance, too! Hope the Ice cream went down a treat!
Cheers Michael :-) Yep knee has remained good today so hoping that I've seen the last of that injury if I keep being careful. It was fun running with Fordy and he did a great job catching me up and getting his PB. That ice cream was something special!
Good work. Looks like a great nice. Always good coming back with a good race after an injury!
Trail And Mountain Runner Cheers mate. Had to be careful and fitness was lacking towards the end but great to be out running again. 😃
Great job! Brilliant news about the knee. Keep up the good work!
Thanks mate :-) Still need to be careful with the knee but glad to get through the race without any problems.
great run!!! Well done on the PB and most importantly, that knee!
Thanks :-) For me it was all about the knee and I was fortunate that it came good. Paul and Fordy and some of the others we met on the day got some great PBs. It was a flat and fast course so great PB potential. I reckon I'll be back another year when hopefully I'll be fully fit and can go for it.
glad to hear your knee held up. Congrats on the awesome race!
Thanks mate :-) Giving my legs a good rest this week before hopefully starting to get back to a more normal running routine next week.
Great footage of the race and great to see all well with the knee. The rest of 2018 awaits! :)
Thanks mate :-) Going to be resting this week but after that it's going to be good to get back out their and running more regularly again.
Fantastic video mate was awesome running with you 👍🏼
Cheers mate :-) And with you! It was a great day which I really enjoyed.
So glad the knee held up for you, hopefully you’re through that injury now mate 👍🏻 looks like a great little race well done lads
Cheers mate :-) I'm very thankful that I didn't get a reoccurence of the injury and could enjoy the day. Will give it plenty of time to rest this week and still have some physio sessions left to do but certainly looks positive at the moment.
Spoiler Alert! I saw how you did in Fordy's video. Cool seeing it again from your perspective. Glad your knee feels ok.
Thanks :-) Stay tuned for a couple of weeks time where we might just be appearing in each others videos again.
Glad the body held. Glad you had fun.
Thank you :-) It was a good, fun day out.
Great result fella!! It must feel great to have got a good time after your knee issues :)
Thanks mate :-) It's a bit of a relief to say the least. I had all sorts of visions of a DNF vlog but fortunately that didn;t happen and it turned out to be a great day out beside the seaside.
Loving the channel cross overs with other vloggers 👍
Thanks Sarah :-) It's great meeting up with other running TH-camrs at races. But did you see the National Running Show, there were loads of us. Cameras all over the place - haha.
Here We Are Running yes, that looked awesome 😎 might have to go one year, but I know I will go crazy with my credit card at the stalls 😱🤗
Certainly worth going, the talks are really good as well but yes, you do need to make sure you don't get too carried away at the stalls :-)
Well done mate, nice vlog :)
Cheers mate :-)
Well done, great to see you rested up and came back strong! I am out with a knee issue at the moment, but not been as good as you and given it some proper rest. I am stuck between a rock and hard place as I have a 50k at the end of the month. Mind me asking what injury you had and what helped? Mine seems to be tight quads pulling on the top of the knee.
Thanks :-) It's never easy resting but sometimes we just have to. My injury was just below the knee. After the Run Gatwick half marathon it was noticeable even when walking but going up / down stairs was the worse. I had 4 physio sessions (including ultasound treatment) and daily stretching. I had 2.5 weeks of zero running and then in the 1.5 weeks prior to the Southend Half I did a 3.5K easy run, and a 5k and 10K steady run. Giving it a complete week of rest this week and will try and start up a normal routine at the weekend. Hope your knee recovers in time for your 50k. Are you seeing a physio about it?
Thanks! Saw a PT last week who taped me up (not sure it did much to be honest) and have a follow up on Thursday. I have stopped all running now, and just do a lot of core work and stretches. Mine feels ok after just a couple of days rest, but as soon as I run again it comes back. I think maybe I need to take a more sober return to running and ease back in.
I think you are right. After my first week of no running, I wasn't noticing the injury but a did a short jog up a slight incline to speak to someone and straight away the pain was back. Sometimes we just need to avoid running longer than we'd like to let it heal.
Good run mate, but what a dreary course! The Colchester HM route looks nicer I have to say.
Thanks Jason. I've not done Colchester before. Southend is a very flat course so ideal if you want to challenge for a PB but it is two laps and it's at the quieter end of the Southend sea front. It's a shame that they can't close off the busier end (which is probably more interesting) and make it a single lap.
Here We Are Running I’ve not done either, but the organisers at Colchester have a TH-cam video and the course doesn’t look too bad. I’m not keen on those lap races, or those where you go up and back down the other side of cones.
Another chap on here has a video of Gosport (I think) and that course seems very similar to Southend.
