fivemmvegemite,

Long run last night trying to make up volume missed through the week. Just a gentle jog at parkrun

fivemmvegemite,

Had another crack at a pb (under 5min /km). Missed it by 8 sec. Grrr

fivemmvegemite,

I’m probably an outlier. Nothing at all. My brain is busy mapping out the route ahead of me. Tracking pace, hr, reminding myself when it gets hard that I’ve done it before.

Taking in the environment: cars, other people, wildlife, trees, the sky, etc.

Mulling over the previous days events, planning the next day, theres a bunch of stuff that occupies my mind.

I did find a good podcast to listen to recently and so have given that a go.

fivemmvegemite,

Oh its going to happen!! It felt like the hardest thing I have ever done. Looked at my stats afterward and realised I was probably only hitting 75% of my effort.

fivemmvegemite,

Shin splints suck can confirm. Hope it stays good for you!

fivemmvegemite,

Had to be friendly for young kids, I mean if everyone is a bit older and they can handle it, could get a bit rough in the backseat.

fivemmvegemite,

For a PT cruiser? Vanishingly rare in aus! But might be worth adding

fivemmvegemite,

??

fivemmvegemite,

Weird week for it. HR was all over the place, parkrun I was a bit sore and slow still from the weeks running.

fivemmvegemite,

Managed a pb today, getting close to 5:00/km.

fivemmvegemite,

Yes i did that last year for my 1st 10k. Its good, i think you can only go 12 weeks ahead? And if you adjust race day planned runs can get a bit wonky / out of wack. I would say use it as a guide for a bit to get a feel for it.

fivemmvegemite,

2nd half marathon done - quite chuffed with my result (just over 2 hours). Was a beautiful day but I need a nap now!

fivemmvegemite,

3-4 strength training days 2 cardio sessions is unreal. Keep at it, you are on the right track. Try extending the running time gradually. I tried running previously like 15 years ago but got severe shinsplints which put me off it for a long time.

I started going to parkruns in nov 22. I just ran as far as I could then alternated walking / running the rest of the way. It took me about 45 mins and I thought I was gonna die.

It took me until early April 23 to actually run the entire 5k without stopping. Time was down to 41 mins. Slow progression helped immensely in avoiding major injuries.

Also, don’t sell yourself short. You know what walking is. If you’re going faster than that you’re running. Jogging is just slow running (I’m sure there is a technical definition somewhere). If your going 45 mins alternate run/walk then stuff it thats a solid 45 min run in my book.

fivemmvegemite,

Cold weather is back and I’m enjoying having a lower overall HR while running. Getting more accustomed to using gels while running (I still stop and walk). I am slowly getting my weekly mileage back up to similar levels before I got sick in March.

fivemmvegemite,

Take it slow and gentle. If you can go see a physio who can help with the recovery side of things.

fivemmvegemite,

Maybe try just slowing down a bit when they get tight?

fivemmvegemite,

Went for a fantastic 12km run earlier in the week and managed to talk one of my kids to come with me (they were on a bike). The time went by much quicker and as a bonus they’ve decided to do that some more!

Today I missed my weekly parkrun as I was up in the mountains. Tried to go for a run but it was raining and getting worse by the 3km mark so quit while I was ahead.

fivemmvegemite,

You know your body best, I’d push them a bit, but stop if it hurts or it doesn’t recover quickly.

fivemmvegemite,

I wear full length ones when the outside temps are below 10C (~50 F). No discernible help with muscle soreness or fatigue.

I found this study (here which says there might be some benefit wearing them after a run to reduce recovery, but no benefit during. I have a pair so might give it a go on my next long run.

fivemmvegemite,

I had an absolutely awful run yesterday, I think I was mildly dehydrated and went out on a 15km run in 34 C heat.

By 10km, I’d drank all the fluids I’d brought and I was done. I cut it short to 12km and dragged myself home where I proceeded to drink like 3 L of water and hydralyte.

So today just went for an easy jog at parkrun. Otherwise good.
