Long time, no post. I am going to be sharing a 3 part blog series with you over the next few weeks talking about athlete mentality from the perspective of training, racing and injury. I decided to write about this because: 1) I felt pretty down about injury as everyone raced at English schools XC. 2) of a discussion with my mum in Sheffield about her Masters (on emotional regulation and mentality in students). I have researched the effects of exercise on the body and emotions associated with exercise in depth for my EPQ but I am no expert in this. I thought it would helpful to share some of my tips and experiences. I am going to start with mentality in training. This is something that I really struggled with a few years ago as I didn’t really have a goal, I just wanted to get better but didn’t know how so I just ran and ran and ran which ultimately led to injury.

I haven’t shared a week in training for a while (7 months to be exact) so thought I would! Currently I am coming back from injury and building up my running again after a year of disjointed running. Side note/ mini injury update: I got my MRI results on Tuesday. I have periostitis/ shin splints (inflammation of the membrane surronding a bone) and a bone marrow edema (fluid build up in the bone marrow- I didn’t know this existed either haha) both of which my consultant says are from a stress fracture that was not treated. Symptoms wise my pain levels are very low and the constant pain that was in my tendon has gone!! Anyway this weeks training… |
