Through out my so called ‘sports career’ I never been injured for longer period of time. Usually I was
out for couple of days, week tops. Usually pain just comes and goes, no big deal. But this time it is different. First was that small pain during marathon run in Clonakilty. Nothing out of ordinary. But after that it was just slippery slope. Tuesday speed session pulled hamstring in the left leg. Not too bad. Day rest and back to running… Hamstring ok but felt terrible pain in the same leg but in shin. If hamstring pain was let say – 4 in scale from 1 to 10, then shin pain was about 7. With couple of days before Donadea not a great prospects… And, as suspected I have tried to run 50K on Saturday with really, really bad outcome. Lasted just one 5 km loop and decided to pull out from the race. When I was limping to the car I have decided that I need proper help. New challenge, find good physio and find it fast. I was looking someone local but it was really hard to get any appointment for Saturday. Actually it was really hard to get any reply on appointment requests. Thanks to Facebook and Finton’s recommendation I have decided that it is better to use physio with great reputation than look locally to save time on travelling. Anyway, decision has been made – Pearse Street Physiotherapy Clinic.
