ok - good news and bad news here.
I think skipping my 30mins easy run may have been a bad idea earlier in the week.
After my 70mins yesterday running at quite a slow pace ahr 135 i kinda had a bit of an ache in my right hamstring.
I performed my usual cooldown and strecthing exercises as always.
So off i went home from the gym thinking that a goods night sleep and all would be well.
Woke this morning and could still feel it :mad: rested up again all day and in denial a little went to the gym for Day 02 easy 30min.
Warmed up/stretched a bit more than usual and started off at quite a slow pace similar to the long run pace. I don't think my body likes this slower pace and it didn't feel natural so i increased the pace after the first 1k and the pain went away in my leg
. I continually increased the pace and felt comfortable for the entire run.
30mins 5.97k ahr 139 mhr 158
1k 5.54min ahr 115 mhr 126
2k 5.00min ahr 135 mhr 140
3k 4.59min ahr 140 mhr 145
4k 4.48min ahr 144 mhr 149
5k 4.47min ahr 151 mhr 154
5.97k 4.31min ahr 155 mhr 158
After cooldown and stretching pain is still there but i feel like it will shift with a goods night sleep.
So i'm not making excuses here but shall i swap the schedule around a bit and avoid the 2000's tomorrow?
I can walk about fine etc but keen to not aggravate things?
