Liz (Pilates for Runners)Hi Liz, I cannot do these becasue of my hips! Honestly I am feeling broken ... I cannot pull my leg in to my body because of my tight hips, I don't know where to start any more, everything seems to hurt.... I guess I am coming to the time now to get the hips replaced :-(

I think it’s slowly recovering! I had to go to the doctors and he told me it’s muscular, he prescribed some muscle relaxants, pain killers and rest (including walking) but no running. He advised me once I recover to do planks regularly to improve my core strength. I am still in quite a lot of pain and movement is hard, putting socks on is a big challenge! Let’s see how it goes, he will send me to physiotherapy if it’s not improving by next week

Hi, I am unsure what I have done but I woke on Saturday morning with a really painful lower back. I get this sometimes when I stand for extended amounts of time. This time though it’s still painful now on Monday. I ran on Friday, a slow easy 6km and was at the gym on Thursday but I don’t recall doing anything that might irritate my back. Any tips how I might recover? If it’s still painful tomorrow I will be going to the doctor

Liz (Pilates for Runners)following two years since the last time I took part in a race due to my achilles injuries I finally today stood on the starting line for the 10.7Km Zeiningen Quarter marathon (Switzerland). I absolutely know that the pilates has helped me in my recovery and I am looking forward to getting stronger ready for more races to come. I won't share my time, it wasn't very impressive but I finished the course that included 209m elevation so am very happy!

Phew … that’s tricky with hip arthritis, had to keep the moves slow but definitely felt like the hips have opened some 👍🏼 will favorite this session and come back to it so long I am not in pain tomorrow morning 🙄

Well in the end I only missed 9 sessions which I don't think was too bad since I was sick for 12 days! Roll on the next challenge ✌🏻

and once again … maybe it’s Pilates that makes me sick .. no, obviously not! But once again I missed the end of week 2 and all of week 3 since I collected a really really nasty bug, mycoplasmas or something similar, been running a high fever with a horrible sore throat and cough, hopefully will not lead to pneumonia!! Anyway it means that again I have failed in another Pilates challenge! Oh well I will keep trying and maybe one day I will complete one 🍀
