Hi Ed! Just got back from running after the recommended 3-day break. Did my 40min easy run today, focusing on taking it easy and not pushing the pace. Shin splint on my right leg and pain on my left hamstring are no longer tangible!! Hopefully it stays that way, that shin splint has been bugging me on an intermittent basis for a couple of weeks now. Probs it's safe to assume that theyre healed now. :/
Nonetheless, better not to be complacent , ill try self-massages as one of your articles indicate and keep my pre- and postrun stretches!
Here are the splits:
1st km: 5:28 min/km
2nd: 5:19
3rd: 5:17
4th: 5:25
5th: 5:33
6th: 5:15
7th: 5:07
8th (0.55): 4:57min/km
Ave. Bpm is at 167, max is at 181. Pretty high right? But really this run felt easy. Tried to maintain a more even pace and a pace closer to 5:29min/km , guess i was shocked that my calves no longer feel heavy so i tested them out and tried to lengthen my stride from time to time. ill try to keep it more steady tomorrow. ^_^ Effort: 2
