Hi TheEd, hope you've had a good few weeks!
Got as far as the 5.0km pace day, had a decent time, will post stats once I get the watch downloaded and stuff, maybe was about 2 days behind as I got caught up with some travel.
However, we've got some serious smoke having rolled into the Western Canadian provinces due to Oregon, Washington, California fires - not complaining as they've got it a whole lot worse than us. But this may cap my running for the summer.
Our hockey team has opted to not join our league this year. The roster requirements and complications due to covid were making it sound not worth the effort/time/money so we've booked a once a week skate to keep in shape and not totally lose the skill for the 2020-21 season. We start next Tuesday.
With that in mind, I'd like to keep running since I'm only skating once a week, but the 10-km program becomes a little intense to mix in a dynamic sport like hockey where despite it being "non-contact" is still rough, fast, direction changes and I have to be careful to not pull a groin, hip-flexor, tweak something, etc. more than running.
Can we look at a more regular schedule that has pace days on certain days, 2 days before, or 2 days prior to playing hockey?
Also that gives me the ability to start getting into some leg workout stuff, plyometrics, etc. that would be too hard to do when running as frequently as the 10-k programs have one doing. Also as winter rolls around there will be ice, snow, etc (didn't expect smoke in September).
This might be too complicated... Feel free to message me for other ideas if you'd prefer.
Thanks!
