Hi TheEd
Haha, indeed! Ah well, I don't have far to go these days so the pigeon stepping for almost a week wasn't too much of a problem
Did a few recovery workouts to try and loosen them off:
5 April
Rested
6 April
50 mins X-trainer (Av HR 127, Max 139)
Getting much easier and lower HR for the same resistance.
7 April
Rested
8 April
40 mins body weight and resistance exercises
Plus 35 mins X-trainer (Av HR 142, Max 151)
Unfortunately after this workout, my GPS/HR monitor watch (which has been misbehaving for a while) completely gave up the ghost and so I now don't have anything to record HR!
9 April
Legs completely recovered... so went for the stair run again!
Same number of flights - 150 (2,100 steps / 375m vertically).
Shaved 21 seconds off the time I did last time (although I wasn't trying to).
Felt great throughout - let's see how the legs recover this time
cheers
