TheEd,
Calf was OK y/day, no exercise as planned. However went out for a few drinks last night which led to a slight overindulgence in alcohol and half a nights sleep on the couch after getting in - whoops...:duh:
Felt worse for wear this morning - still intoxicated in fact, not heavily, however it seems it doesn't take that much these days to generate such a hang-over.
Not to disappoint the training objective for the day, thought that getting out the door for the 8 miles easy (more like crawl) might help. Knew it was going to be less than my best effort and heavily broken up (it was), thought that sweating out last night would help my recovery of sorts...
Even though tired, the added resistance was managable, but it was a lot of walk/run. It worked out 13.4Km around a new route which was fantastic.
Hrate Avg 128bpm. 1st 5km was grassy clifftop, rest road/path. At 8km wasn't running on mid-foot, started to feel tightening up of calves both sides - will have to make sure properley recovered from this by Tuesday before progressing. Planning a core workout tomorrow and a lot of stretching, not forgetting the 7+hr sleep promise I've been making to myself, all this week and beyond.
Feel like I cheated myself a bit with going out last night, not planning to that again - it was a stark reminder of some of my earlier days...God, I am getting older!
Will update tomorrow about recovery,
Cheers,
D
PS - Good to hear about the waddling...!
