Don't seem to be getting fitter.

Some one mentioned Maffetone earlier, a lot of your concern seems to be about the ache / pain. I often use to run the Maffetone Method and my injuries and aches were a lot less. I think your main problem is you run too fast, before you hang up your Brooks, get this and do it, if you really want to keep running, which I think you should.

I'll have a look into this. Anything that is going to help my situation.
Thanks.

Ordered the Maffetone Method book, dusted off my HR monitor and replaced the batteries.
Been reading up on this method before i ordered the book, and it all makes perfect sense.
Running so slow will be an issue for me, but if it helps me overall then it's got to be worth it.
Just need it to arrive now!

I did the winter months on a MTB, I really noticed the difference when back on the road bike,
before the MTB, I was generally,
Head wind 15 mph
No wind 17 mph
Tail wind 20-21

Now
Head wind 17
No Wind 21-22
Tail wind, anything above 24

I hated the MTB but its done wonders for my fitness on the road bike

After a two week wait my Maffetone book is here. Very interesting reading, can't wait to get started on it.
But until the bottom of my bloody foot gets better nothings going to happen soon.
I can hardly walk on it after excercise.
