Now that makes sense Becky!

When you run you snap the outer most fibres of a muscle 'fibre bundle' and the remaining fibres in the bundle tighten up to prevent further damage. So they become less open to being stretched until the damage has been repaired.

I take it Pilates is quite extreme stretching then? Because gentle stretching would actually help the recovery.

That's making me wince just reading that!

Thanks Becky, interesting to hear that - I will be careful as to when I do the Pilates/ Ballet stuff then. Rich - Pilates is not extreme exactly, you're meant to do it so you don't strain anything and build up slowly, but it is easy to push it too far sometimes.

Becky - splits, wow.. I can still just about do them sideways from my ballet class days.. but not forwards!

did you win the football then beinerts?!

We should have, but it ended 7-7! I'm pleased with the way I played though, scored 2 good goals and some other good passes/interceptions/tackles etc. I've only recently started playing again and I'm starting to get back to the level I was before I stopped, though my game is still a bit rough round the edges. I'm still making too many mistakes and my touch and shooting isn't as sharp as it needs to be i.e. very inconsistent. I am quite hard on myself though and am generally pleased with my progress since my first game back which was a :eek:

I say we should have won because if our talented but selfish/lazy player had tracked back when we lost possession, we could have stopped at least 2 of the goals. Still, 1 win and 1 draw is a good start to our new season!

thanks for the comprehensive answer.......... just the score would've done!

Nah! i'm joking! sounds pretty ace... but i'm not into team sports, so no danger of me looking for a ladies football club next, i'll leave that to Becks... i'll stick with swimming and running...

Swimming class is tonight.... ! I'm so lucky to have a supportive OH who doesn't object to doing the home thing while i go out to my things....

don't let those nerves get the better of you Sal....

What are you going to get for your nerves?? immodium? or rescue remedy??

SueUU - thanks for the shewee tip... i can't see me taking it around with me, nowhere to store it while running.... last night i had to run with my car keys tucked down inside my bra..... i was worried they might be a bit damp and not open the remote locking afterwards but they were fine, lol!!!

I'm off to buy a hi viz top of some kind at lunchtime, if the local sports shop has one... (probably the smallest sports retailer in the world ever!) Need one with a wee pocket for my keys.... the one i have makes me look like a bucket man!!

Hey, I had to get a reference to the amount of running I did in there to stay on topic !

Great that you OH is so supportive, it's what partnerships are all about...

Maz, when runners go to a race on their own by car they usually just take the ignition key and tie it into the shoelaces. It cant go anywhere and gets rid of the problem. Have a look when you go to a race, its one of those things you don't notice unless you're looking, but you will see quite a few 'key in shoelace' scenarios.

Idiophreak

You can get plenty of "hip pockets" too, that sit under your clothing and are just big enough for your keys and a phone...

Personally, I've got a wee camelback classic I take out on longer runs - has enough space for these things (I like to have a phone if I'm gonna be a long way from home...) and saves you carrying a water bottle, too...

By sideways you mean front splits? Yeah thats me too

I have NEVER been able to do box though - thats how I hurt my leg the first time

ooh Beinerts - I want to play now, I havent played for ages....:( 7-7 sounds like a great game! I love it when they are close and you really have to work for each bit of possession...
