06-06-18

Workout

Run -- 2.15mi in 19:23 [8:59 pace]

+ some rehab exercises and stretching

Notes

Felt good. Next run Saturday or Sunday, gonna keep them short for now so that I can maintain solid form the whole time. Want to make this stick, as I miss running a lot.

Workout

Run -- 2.92mi in 24:55 [8:50, 8:51 and 7:48 pace]

+ some ab wheel and rehab hip stuff

Notes

No hip issues in time since last run. Maybe a bit conservative with amount of time between them, but we'll see. Pain always recurred after the second run, so let's see. Form felt good on this one, too. Hopefully all good tomorrow and I can head out for another short on in a couple of days.

nice!! good to see you posting runs again!!

Here's another one for you!

28-06-18

Run -- 5.3mi in 46:55 [8:53 pace]

Ran with same friend.

Notes

Holy fuck I can run again. So happy   

Going to keep to every other day for a while, I think. Fitness feels like it's coming back. HR readings from watch do not feel accurate for whatever reason, so I'm ignoring them and going by feel. First few runs logged here was probably a bit faster than conversational pace, but running a bit fast feels safer, in a way, because my form is a bit more solid there.

It's been in the 80s for most of these runs, too, which as been killer. Can't wait to see how the heat adaptations pay off when autumn/winter come.

Still on for the Oxford half in the autumn, so hopefully can keep everything together long term here.

awesome man

the every other day approach works great. 1:1 work/rest ratio is always solid.

I had weird/similar setbacks as well, with huge gaps of time off. so i'm optimistic for this next phase, things will come together better than before and you'll be healthier.

Workout

Run -- 4.66mi in 41:33 [8:54 pace]

w/ same pal

Notes

Took two days off as hip feeling a little bit tight. Not pain, so it's good, just being careful.

The pal my last few runs have been with is staying with me for a couple more days, so I'll be back to solo runs soon. Looking forward to getting back into solo runs again though, haha. I like running with people as a change, but it doesn't suit me as the primary way to train.

Shall also start throwing in strides in the second half of these runs.

hah. 

solo running ftw.

04-07-18

Workout

Run -- 3.46mi in 32:33 [9:23 pace]

Including 6 strides just scattered through the second half of the run.

Notes

Felt decent. This pace seems like where I should really be for easy runs at the moment -- feels more like what I'm used too from easy running earlier in the year. Bit disappointing that it is this much slower, but hopefully fitness will come back quicker.

Hip was a bit tight from the last run so I took a couple days off. Hoping that this easier pace will keep things a bit smoother, but we'll see.
