Medal Monday!
(With consent of course 😉)
Congratulations to FVS Kerstin and Stevenage Strider Ilaria for completing the London marathon yesterday despite last minute niggles.
Kerstin came to see me last week having fallen over running a couple of weeks ago and hurting her knee which became swollen and stiff. Some hands on treatment and a big bucket of reassurance got her through (she has trained so well and had to defer from last year due to a very stubborn hamstring tendinopathy).
Ilaria has been seeing Sam for a stubborn hamstring injury. Having also had to defer last year due to a stress fracture, she was determined to run this year and she did it!
BUT! Let’s not forget those who don’t make it - the ones we have to say ‘sorry, this is not your time, you need to pull out or defer’. We’ve had a couple of those this year too due to injury that you can’t just run through. But like Ilaria & Kerstin - their time will come.
You know who you are 😉.
Congratulations ladies 🥳
