A wee bit too short cause I was short on time before work. First half probably ran slow enough, second half maybe slightly fast. Bit tight in right ant. tib now. Was very tight in glutes and hammys before and after, still from Monday night at boot camps.

Running 15:06 [3] 2.9 km (5:12 / km) +30m 4:57 / km
shoes: NB Tech ride

Taper week. Was bad and ran fast for taper. Taper week feels psychologically harder this week; I'm enjoying running longer, enjoying trying to increase my pace. I've been really actively working on running slow to give my legs a chance, but totally ignored that today.

Will make sure Wednesday is easy. Otherwise though - no pain.

Note

It's interesting. After being so injured back in high school, I felt like I went too far the other way for too long and was being too careful. Having written myself a tapered programme (why the fuck didn't you do that sooner, Siobhan?) has really made a difference. I don't have pain. I still get tight, but there's no pain. If there's a niggle, I switch my running day. I'm not running on consecutive days just to be extra careful.

I just looked back on all my training logs from when I was racing/training, and it's NO WONDER I was so badly injured. I looked through about 5 weeks of logs before my MTSS diagnosis, and every single run has the comment "Legs are really sore" or "Ankle feels strange," "tightness in my shin" or "absolutely exhausted," followed by a really over-enthusiastic, "was going to rest/take it easy today, but ended up running anyway/running for double the time I'd planned to!"

So interesting to look back and see how naive (read: stupid) I was with training...

Weight Training 10:00 [5]

4 mins straight of push ups. Because I'm a sadomasochist.
