So I fall off the blogger earth for a long time. Why? Couldn't honestly say. Maybe it has been an issue of finding a moment to get thoughts on screen. I debated changing the format to make it more a training journal for now as opposed to a place to brain dump different things. With the race season upon me I think for now I will write up each week's activities and see how it grows from there.
After a dispappointing injury setback that saw me doing a lot of indoor trainer session in lieu of a run and then a very slow progressive rehab for the strained knee. It required much patience, discipline and faith in the outcome but was able to get back to 90 minutes of running after about 2.5 weeks of setbacks. The knee is about 90% I would guess and with ATB a week Saturday I am hopeful to keep things where they are or better.
Workout this week:
Monday- 45 ride, 20 minutes drills, core, Physio exercises- thought this would be better than a run after the 90 minutes from the day before
Tuesday- 45 min run, knee felt good and had ART and some ultrasound with Michael Michaud. Medial quad was full of adhesion and pes anserine stuck from all over the thigh. Good session and positive improvements
Wednesday- rest day, lots of stretching
Thursday- 61 min run, speed work with 6 x 2,2,2 working between recovery and 10k pacing. Knee behaved but was stiff at the end
Friday- 51 min run, stiff in both knees but hope just because speed has been out of the equation for a few weeks and body is bouncing back
Saturday- 67 min run, very easy pace and somewhat perplexed to feel a stiff knee and a sore soleus on the other leg. Gonna have to be smart tomorrow during the long run intervals.
Sunday-
