 | Running 1:01:47 [3]12.5 km (4:57 / km) | |
| |
| am: Right glutes felt a little sore and creaky yesterday evening so I was unsure whether I should run or not. Decided to take my usual approach to these things (when in doubt, try it out). So I started conservatively and ran at a long run pace. Everything was fine. Obviously I just need to run more :-)
Cool overcast morning. Very quiet in Kings Pk. Maybe everyone was sleeping in after the wild post-election partying last night. |
Saturday Nov 24 |
| Running 45:21 [3]9.5 km (4:46 / km) | |
| |
| am: Same run as Thurs but ran a little bit more freely this time. |
| Gym 56:00 [2] | |
| weight:75.2kg |
| am: Usual gym. No bike though - yesterday was enough to keep me happy for a while. |
Friday Nov 23 |
| Spinning 21:00 [1] | |
| |
| pm: 'Rest' day so I thought I would do something to get the circulation going. About as much as I could stand and enough to work up a good sweat. |
| Core stability 43:00 [1] | |
| |
| pm: Usual core and postural |
Thursday Nov 22 |
| Running 45:52 [3]9.5 km (4:50 / km) | |
| |
| am: Another run where everything seemed OK after I got going. But it seemed rather a bit too hard for a not-quite 10k run. |
| Gym 50:00 [2] | |
| weight:75.4kg |
| pm: Usual gym except for the bike. Not game to try a full set of step-downs and squats since I overcooked the quads 1.5 weeks ago.
Weight is falling off - this dieting caper is easy. |
Wednesday Nov 21 |
| Running 30:29 [3]6.5 km (4:41 / km) | |
| |
| am: Easy run in Kings Pk. No creakiness at the start and no soreness towards the end - almost ran like normal. Bit sore in the adductors. |
| Core stability 40:00 [1] | |
| |
| pm: Usual core and postural |
Tuesday Nov 20 |
| Running 39:03 [3]8 km (4:53 / km) | |
| |
| am: Lap around Shenton and Kings Pk. Survived OK. Right hip was very creaky at first. Warmed up though and was pretty good for about 15 min until it started to feel slightly sore and tired. No jabs of pain. |
| Gym 46:00 [2] | |
| weight:75.9kg |
| pm: Abbreviated gym session - no bike or gym ball |
| Note | |
| |
| Lunchtime massage today. Seems to have helped loosen things up. |
Monday Nov 19 |
| Core stability (Pilates) 50:00 [0] | |
| |
| pm: Easiest session of Pilates I've done for a while - no glute and quad work. Emphasis mostly on adductors and abs.
The assessment of my hip problem is that it's probably a small tear in glute min, which would be responsible for the specific, sharper jabs of pain, with the usual protective muscle spasm resulting in more generalised tightness and soreness. So, it looks like reduced training for a little bit longer. Hopefully only another week. |
| Core stability 38:00 [1] | |
| |
| pm: Pilates felt so easy that I thought I would do my normal core and postural workout as well .... except for the abdominal and adductor stuff. It's surprising how fatigued the abs and adds are after that pissy Pilates session. |
