Things haven't been great. I did a 10 miler on Thursday @140bpm. have had a headache since Saturday. No training at all due to this, it was a vomit worthy migraine over the weekend. No just a headache that seems to be lingering.
On the bright side, I did have a first consultation with a sports massage therapist. It seem my right glute isn't firing as well as it should be so have been given some homework to get by backside in gear. I also had some rehab therapy on the hams, quads and calves, including acupuncture on the left hammy as it was knotted more than a knitted cardigan. This will now be a monthly process as part of the training.
One concerning point to note is that the RHR has been steadily increasing over the last few days. I am putting it down to being headache related but there has been the occasional sneeze over the last few days so maybe have a very mild cold. It was up to 50 this morning.
Perhaps a gentle 6-8km tonight to get things moving again and see how the legs feel now they've had a good rest. I did up the protein intake to three shakes a day for the time being too.
Keep well, I will update the data when Garmin sort themselves out.
On a seperate note, I've ordered a 935. Coupled with the HR strap I should be able to analyse more dynamic run metrics such as balance, ground contact time, oscillation and stride lengths etc. The info will help you to help me iron out any imbalances that are found. hehe.
