It's all starting to creak!
And I don't mean the bike.
Up and out early this morning to do the first of two sessions planned for today. Overall training hours planned 1:30. The morning session was a 50 minute run most of which was straightforward over distance easy running but I also added six minutes off strides/drills.
Drills were as follows:
2X Heel kicks+ High knee
2X Bounds + front kicks
each with a pick up sprint at the end and a jog back.
After pretty much the first week of serious training the whole body feels a bit tired and worked over. Tomorrow is set to be a reasonably light day with Tuesday as a rest day.
Second session of the day was a 40 minute strength session focusing on abdominals and leg strength. One leg squats are more manageable now then they were last week, though the heels together squat exercise does seem to be putting a lot of strain on the lateral anterior tibial muscles.
The main planning goal of the week is to book up all the main races for the season before they all sell out!

Watch that knee! Make sure you're massaging that quadriceps tendon even after stretching - it'll make a big difference.
Check out http://www.exrx.net - lots of helpful links (especially through the Kinesiology section).
Ta fella. I'm keeping a watchful eye on it. I am an Orthopaedic design engineer so I know (and worry) a bit more than most about knees!
I can usually get it sorted with some stretches and strengthening excersises. I may strap it in the short tern to see if I can modify the patella tracking.
