Hopefully week five of the schedule will remain as the disaster week.
Saturdays run was an awful 15 - took some incredibly long time as I had to stop and stretch on several occasions - best forgotten I think!
As someone who doesn't often get colds (i.e. about once every two years) it was law of sod that the week started feeling a little under the weather and coldy
to the point where I got changed for Mondays 5 miles but having provided my usual Monday evening taxi service really couldn't face being outside in the cold so went home again.
Tuesday night training was kyboshed by waves of nausea and just feeling generally crap. The under the weather cold feeling was teamed with a growing worry about strange abdomen pains/sensations and an increasingly stiff right groin. Now of course I would never try and self diagnose via the internet - so by Wednesday I was getting really worried by the long list of things that could be wrong!
Did manage a 6 on Wendesday and it felt ok but worry about what was happening in my abdomen and groin area meant that I didn't manage to make up any distance on Thursday.
A trip to the doctors on Friday at least confirmed that it wasn't a hernia that was causing my discomfort. This seemed like the most likely explanation for the sensations I was having and would have meant a likely immediate end to marathon training for this year. Of course it didn't answer the question of what was the problem - but with the biggest fear out of the way my general demeanour toward training lightened and I can only hope that this is the one and only disaster week
