Makes it all worthwhile! Thanks John and well done on the PB.
I was at week 11 of an 18 week training program for Dublin City Marathon 2025. I had injured my right quad muscle, tried rehabbing it, but I hadn't run/ trained in three weeks. When Michael asked what I wanted, I said "get me to the Dublin City Marathon 2025 start line". After extensive diagnosis, Mick determined I couldn't have torn the muscle, doing what I was doing and suggested the muscle was in spasm, which would explain why the rehab wasn't working. Mick suggested some exercises and a light return to running program. I was back on the program in 5 days. Long story short, I started, finished and got a PB on my 4th Dublin City Marathon. At 62 yo - I'll take that. Thanks Mick. If (when) I injure myself again, I'll be back.
Many thanks
