10K Training Program Question

[Hyperspace]

Hi TheEd,

Due to the bathroom DIY haven't managed the 1000's or a single session since last week! I've worked everyday for 11 days now so after today having a break - by going back to work!

Planning to go out this evening to our local running club for some very easy running - do you reckon I should think about giving the race coming up this Friday coming a miss seeing as I will be a bit wide of the mark for race pace?

Was thinking about starting a new 19 day cycle today instead of building up to the race this Friday...

Good idea?

Cheers,

Daryl

hopefully slotting the running back in will be seamless

Hi TheEd,

Started a new 19 day cycle yesterday with a good 70 min easy run with local run club. Needed it, felt good to get moving again, however was v.tired afterwards and today.

Have a strange tightness above left ankle and bottom of shin this morning - need to rest this, it might be hanging over from kneeling down doing the DIY etc - not sure I will do the 2k's tomorrow, will have to see how ankle/shin is. Can I postpone them til day after instead?

Will keep you posted,

Thanks,

Daryl

for future maybe better to start with a 30 minute run first to blow away the cobwebs after DIY stints

play it by ear and Thursday would be even better for 2000's

Cheers

TheEd,

You're right - I should've taken it easier on Monday - I have a lot to learn! Ankle/Shin feels slightly better this morning, but its definitely not ready for running on. I think I'm going to pull out of Fridays race, it seems pointless kidding myself I'm going to go.

Will keep you posted on progress,

Cheers again,

Daryl

well I am sure the bathroom looks good



we can't have everything right all at once, we don't want to become too spoilt

Well, what can I say - training seems to be going sideways again at the moment. Have had some serious sleep pattern disturbances over last few nights. 4 hours the night before last. Got lots going on at work, most busiest time all year. So trying to get on top of that.

Ankle/shin is much better, a ran a little on it yesterday on the way to the beach for a surf session, it felt good. Upon paddling out noticed a dull, sore pain in left shoulder, only very acute. I did the age old trick of carrying on as I thought it might wear off. I did take it easy but it got worse and now I am paying for it! What a disaster.Caught some amazing waves though, it was a good session. I had to get out after an hour as it was starting to get dangerous to stay in with the shoulder pain. I haven't injured my shoulder like this for years, not sure how this has happened other than some light weights I did earlier in the week in the gym.

On this note I'm planning some serious downtime over the weekend. I think the DIY stint on the bathroom has had more of an impact than I realised. Admittedly I did really go for it and unfortunately this is the price I have to pay.

I wish I could say the bathroom looks great, however we only got the broad basics finished, eletrics, plumbing etc done - decoration is not for long time yet. Ho hum.

Will update recovery progress,

Hows your running going?

Cheers,

Daryl

DIY rules

my running ho hum .. though I did do a 600m run with the son yesterday

Where do you surf?

TheEd
ps.. hopefully you back to normal soon and all the aches and pains are a thing of the past 'most' shortly

'DIY rules' - that's questionable...!!!

Shoulder is much better this afternoon - started a course of Ibruprofen this morn and also applied some Ibruprofen gel to said shoulder. Need a few early nights now to get on top of things now. Thinking start back Mon with a 30 min Easy.

Surfing mostly in Scarborough - have you heard of it?

Do you surf? Tried?

Cheers,

Daryl

good to hear of the improvement

I have attempted to surf on 1 occasion in the past and this was in Cape Town many moons ago

I am interested in developing something of surf locations of the world but more obscure surf locations (just a thought)

cheers
