Training Log Archive: 007

Uphill to golf course, taking it easy. 15mins, 1min pause, 15mins, 5min walk over rough snow, 7mins run down and home. Knee not bad considering quite rough in places and first hills.

flat 10+5+11
pain in tendon, worst i've felt for a while.. grudgingly cut run short and iced.

Pool v busy, not space for real intervals so did some random surges and drills, otherwise just steady.

more pain than i liked. cut short

rest day after knee a little sore from yesterday.

morning stretch. slept with knee brce as knee often gets sore sleeping, not too bad.

morning rehab strength. upper calves very tight/sore from snow shoeing

Lunchtime ride to enjoy some sunshine

Evening pool run intervals, I found a nice pool which is 20m long, 2 metres deep and empty except for a few other ladies pool running. It is only open monday and tuesday for 2hours and not at all for the next 2 weeks because of school holidays... so I have to look further.
5-5-5-5-4-3-2-1 with 1min recovery. As usual without a floaty belt so it was quite hard and about halfway through i discovered that if i used my arms to mimic running it was a more intense workout but a bit easier for the legs. Occasionally added a spurt of bum kicks or high knees.
Knee got a little sore from bending so many times. Apart from the water being so warm I could say I enjoy pool running and will try to do it once a week even when not injured.

After the pool went on to TSV strength training for the first time since last year. The first half was ok- various core, leg and upper strength. I had to leave after that because knee was getting a bit sore and I couldnt do the jumping and running excercises. I will be going reguarly on mondays from now.
