3 years in the making to do a middle distance race without injury. Those who know me, will know my body used to crack like an egg. I’ve kept my physio employed for the last 10 years, from when I used to play golf back in the day, then not being able to run a mile with out getting injured. So much hard work with coach_nicktk weareokhane over the last 13 months is paying off and we now look to the full distance event in ironman_austria next year.
Massive thanks to debs_morton for all her support and taxis ride home x
And thank you outlawtriathlon for being able to put this event on.

Day 1
±±±±

So why is today day 1 rather than day 15, after all I had my “accident” on September 4th, well, because just over one year from today is the 50km spartanrace Ultra in Scotland and that is my target. I have 1 year to get back on the age group podium.

Right now that feels impossible, I cannot stand unaided, my fitness is dropping rapidly and my legs are wasting away, but there is a positive to my current situation, I have time to fix everything that was wrong with my running.

Because if I’m being honest

± My form sucked, I relied too much on strength to get me through things

± I had constant Achilles injuries, I did too much too soon, did not rest enough and as per point one, my form sucked

± I had zero plyometric ability, the constant Achilles issues stopped me from bouncing and as much as I tried I just could not get past the injuries

± I relied on caffeine and painkillers to get me past the finish post, to the point that I started needing them just to train

So today I start my return to fitness, there will be tears, there will be sweat, there will be frustration, but, unlike before there is a plan

Good news folks, no more self indulgent running photos for a while.

That being said Pip is not impressed.

For those that are interested I had an incident at nutschallenge which has left me with a sheared tibia and fibula that is broken in two places. The meccano frame and pins will be in place for at least 3 months, maybe 4. So, no running for a while.

To those that have already wished me well, thank you. The rest of you, now’s your chance.

This weekend marks 6 months since my “accident” at Nuts.

I’m further recovered than I thought I’d be, but not as capable as I’d like. My leg is still very swollen and sore, but I’m moving towards my first limp free steps.

I’ve seen physiotherapists, podiatrists, chiropractors and surgeons, but ultimately it’s all down to me and with me being me that’s fine, just tell me what I need to know then bugger off please.

Hopefully, in the next few weeks I can start the process of learning to run again, which I need as I’ve got some ultra marathons to do next year.

2017 and Skull Valley at the ocrwc in Canada. Great course, great event and a great result (kept my bands and had zero obstacle retries)

A few folk have asked when I’ll be running again, truthfully, I don’t know, right now this is this best I can do.

But, this is ok, it’s more than I could do yesterday and less than I’ll do tomorrow.

Running ultras may be a long way off, but I’ll get there, just might take me a while.

Great to get some chalk on my hands and hit the rings. Having to be extra cautious as the frame makes me wider on the right side, so I keep clipping my hand as I rotate, plus the additional weight puts more load on my core, but that’s a good thing.

Little play on the grip balls, hands are very soft after weeks of no usage, so time to build up the callouses.

I did not think I’d be swinging the bell at this point in my recover, but after learning that the heel pins have to stay in for another 6 weeks I figured I had to try.

No complexes or technical flows, just swings, cleans, snatches and presses.

Going to be sore later, happy days.

3 Peaks round two, plenty of weather to choose from; cloud, fog, sunshine and a spot of rain to start with, but no lost souls meant a fun day out in the Dales, albeit a tad warm for my northern blood. Aimed for 6 hours, but the legs were obliging so finished just under 5:25, so very happy with that.

Now to rest, eat all the food and wait for my legs to realise what they just did.

Another day another pup, this is Lux, we have a lot in common. Arthritis, allergies, deafness and one good leg each, but give either of us food and we’re happy as a clam.

Well.....! Nice bike ride out in the end, front tyre puncher on a down hill segment and the tyre didn’t seal until I stopped at the bottom, me and the bike got doused in sealant for a good minute.
Then popped on the treadmill for 3 km run at 12kph To get my 1st brick session in for a while getting race ready for September.

Early trot and swim with the pup to start the day.
Then a rush to vets after she had an allergic sting reaction, home now and on bed rest.

$Finally got copies of my pre surgery x-rays and as can be seen, the leg was broken, good and proper, a displaced fracture I believe is the medical term. Today’s session finished with a few leg and bell drills. Left leg is doing 80% of the work and as is evident in repetition four, it still hurts when I try and put extra weight on the right. Bonus was hitting my stair goal half way through 🤷🏽‍♂️ #weareokhaneonepercentmore #okhaneraceteam #Ilizarovframe #kettlebell #kettlebelltraining #ocrtraining #wocrl #spartantraining #ocr #couchTo50K #garagegym #fitover50$
