Today (5-6pm) I have played 5-a-side, having not touched a ball for 20 years and having pretty much zero fitness (I do a good amount of walking and weight lifting, but no proper cardio since hanging the bike up last September, is that enough excuse’s
).
10 minutes in I was blowing like a steam train, I’d tweaked my left upper calf/hamstring, then 20 minutes later pulled my right thigh (low to medium pain), I kept soldiering on, trying my hardest, but fading and fading as the game went on, then with a few minutes to go thigh went fully (high pain).
So, sat here now nursing a few muscle pulls here and there (right thigh is a solid 8 out of 10 on the pain Richter scale), pretty much exactly what I thought would happen
.
Not bad for nearly 54 years young…..
(One day I’ll grow up!).
