Fri
Running circuit training
Pretty much just like wed, but 20deg C cooler.
Sleep was solid, but had to hit Snooze about 6 times to get out of bed....
Legs pretty much feeling ok - the odd knee pain, but due to tight thigh muscle, so some therapy quickly removes it.
Feet a little tight - due to sand running, but causing no issues - will work on them today
Weekly to date - 4hrs 20min - Goal is 7hrs by Sun Arvo
20 deg C less! WOW!
what time are you training?
What sort of knee pain? My R MCL has been giving me issues.
We had a pretty savage Heat Wave the start of this week - not very nice. So temps back to normal - 6-7am for this mornings training, was around 19-20deg C. V's wed arvo where it was nearly 40deg C.
Knee pain, nothing really - just tight lower quarter thigh muscles pulling on the tendons around the knee - after foamrolling the thighs and massage and stretching the pain goes away :-)
Ligament issues - ya better be careful there. Is there underlying tightness in hammies and or quads?
Same issue down south. We had 36 last week, and 14 yesterday...Originally Posted by John
Actually the Cadbury Marathon in Hobart was last Sunday and when the last runner finished it was 27 degree (at 1pm).
Continuing to learn is one thing in life that has to continue.
yeah keeping an eye on it, tightness mainly in hammies. Doing LOTS of foam rolling.
DMA - A summer time marathon!! Crazy
John - Best piece of foam i like for hammies is actually a 2.5 or 5kg weight disk attached to a bar. It gets into them hammies and loosens them up like nobodys business
Saturday
2 hr run. Best time of day is from 5-7pm. The sun is out of sight by 6pm and it's not dark till just after 7pm. Sooo much cooler. And it was overcast so shade for all the run :-)
Was doing well until i got to my previous longest run mark (1hr 40min) and started to need Water, and legs got heavy. Found a park with a water tap with 15min to go, so that was fantastic.
No issues with dehydration, was back to normal weight once i got home and drank 1ltr of Electrolytic drink and had some food.
Typically Nutrition wise this week has been ok, with the occasional meal of too many carbs (got to eat something if all the protein foods have been consumed....)
Pink salt has been a life saver this summer. Love it.
Total weekly time, 6hrs 20min - Still got Sunday to rack up an extra Hr
Thanks re that, I had been trying EMS but think that just aggravates it.
This is what I don't get about there, dark just after 7pm, here it will be about 9.15 and on longest day about 9.45.
You are further south John. Hobart is similar to you.
Good job Bold
Continuing to learn is one thing in life that has to continue.
sorry, I meant that I can't figure why they don't have daylight saving there. I remember going to the Beach at Surfers when I was at Charlie's seminar at 7am and the place was packed.
And shows how attentive I amit didn't get dark last night till just after 10pm.
Cheers guys
10pm!!! How are you supposed to get your kids off to sleep when it's not even dark? Or yourself if you have to be up by 5am. I'm normally in bed by 8;30-9pm.
Sunday
Feeling the effects from Saturdays long run, but not too much.
Plan was for at least 40min (to bring weekly total to 7hrs flat) and max 1hr
Ended up with 52min
1st 1km was pretty stiff, and next 4-5km was pretty average.
After that, the extra blood flow removed all crap from the body and i felt light and fast with no extra effort.
Total weekly - 7hrs 12min
After run - a self massage on all aspects of the legs
