Solved the problem of being able to do today's session with as little pain as possible ! : (1) Cut the legs off a pair of panty hose, keeping just enough to cover chafed parts; (2) lathered areas with vaseline; (3) carefully put on modified pantyhose & an old pair of thigh length shorts. It worked & managed to do 3km warm up, 5 X 600m reps. with 90 secs intervals, 3km cool down.....on a treadmill at the new gym in Mittagong. Count as 10km.
Not bloody likely to ever let chafing happen again!
Great to see you got straight back into the training. Just don't push too much. Need the Lucky Legs to recover properly.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt about you LL. Where there's awill there's way.... and you must have an iron will.
ReplyDeleteWell done LL, chafing is nasty and you are a trooper to do that run and now back up and keep going while the skin is mending is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteLucky Legs you're a legend! Just doing Macquarie Pass (and the ascent on return!) is fantastic, hang in there and don't allow yourself to get injured!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to meeting you in Canberra.
