I have an op next month for a Catheter Ablation. The below explains better than I can, what they'll be doing for me.

During the procedure, a doctor makes a small cut in the groin and inserts thin tubes called catheters into the femoral vein
Guides the catheters through the blood vessels to the heart using X-rays
Records the heart's electrical activity to pinpoint the source of the arrhythmia
Destroys the affected tissue using heat, cold, or electrical impulses

Hopefully I can get back to some normality with my running next year.

Sounds good treatment to get. Hope it all goes well for you and they destroy the target. 👍

Seaford sorted my time yesterday to the correct 21:54 SB. I duly stagger above @big nuts in the table.
@penny's harmonica is now in the table and @Greg Bobkin SB has been added.
Seaford was not as quick a course as I thought. Pebbles on the lower prom meant cutting through a bike barrier and running up a small but noticeable hill. Maybe the course usually stays on the seaside of the wall?

Good to see your back on form, great run on Saturday.
Being back on the table has given me the incentive to go out in the freezing cold today which is fun and do some interval training which really isn’t.

Am I the only one that does bad runs when all the right preparation goes to pot on the actual run? 🤣

No, I've had a few occasions where it's all gone to shit on the day, but not for a while. Back then I had time targets that I wanted to hit – nowadays I don't, which makes the whole thing much more relaxing!

The worst thing used to be not actually knowing WHY it went wrong – there are probably posts on this thread of me trying to figure out the reasons behind bad runs.

My best half is 1.36 something (Brighton, about 10 years ago probably - think it was the last one I did) if you want to pop that in when you're next updating

I'm on the volunteer crew at Hove Prom this week if any of you are down there. Dunno what I'm doing yet but it's not pacing. Farnham Pilgrim marathon on Sunday - had a slightly niggly calf this week as I have been trailling some orthotics to help get rid of a bit of metatarsalgia (nothing dramatic, hasn't stopped me running) but will still rock up I think. It's a beautiful race - fabulous scenery over the North Downs, Loseley estate etc and really well organised. Think there are 12 aid stations !
Wondering if I have Metatarsalgia (which is how I come to be quoting a seven-year-old post.

Pain in the ball of my foot that extends into the middle two toes. I was running with it as it would take a few miles before it occurred, but the pain was happening earlier and earlier, so I stopped to give it a rest and, hopefully, recover.

Five or six weeks on, and the pain is still there at times, although it has improved. I'm still walking a fair bit - c8 miles a day, but it doesn't hurt when I walk, unless I happen to stand on a rock/stone directly under the ball of my foot such that it's taking my full weight.

Does this sound like Metatarsalgia? I'm at the point where I think I'm just going to pay for someone to take a look.

Could well be……podiatrist will confirm pretty quickly……
