Injury Update.
James MacDonald.
James damaged his Achilles in the Northern Cross Country earlier this year and has been under the physio for the last few months. A weak Soleus muscle has been diagnosed and a recovery programme followed of strength and conditioning with a small amount of running which is still not pain free. He still has no date on a return.
Huma Rahman.
Catriona, Sally G, Doctor Kate and Huma entered the 24hour London to Paris charity cycle ride a couple of months back and Huma tore her calf during the ride. Never one to quit she got to Paris but not before she had made a bad calf worse. She is giving it a complete rest and has promised to be back in September.
Mick Fairs.
Another calf injury – at training two weeks ago – but fortunately not as bad as first feared. Mick hopes to be back training next week.
Catriona Marshall.
A suspected pulled hamstring turned out to be a trapped nerve which is affecting the hamstring. She is responding to treatment and will be back soon.
Alan Turner.
Alan features in the Park Run results most weeks but a nagging knee injury is restricting that to be the extent of his running for a year now. He believes a Tuesday night session would be too much and intends to seek further medical help to get to the bottom of the problem.
Pete Watson.
Pete has been out for a month with sciatica a couple of times this year. Every time he is almost back to full fitness it kicks off again and it came back again in the Carrs session last Tuesday.
