Training Log Archive: lorrieq

This week I intended to run every day but never really made concrete plans and as a result the days tended to slip away. So it was a nice way to finish the week with a long one from El Hipico up to Peña Llampaya and back. Warm out but the route offered a decent amount of shade and it was later in the afternoon. Legs feeling good although tired by the end. I made sure the heart rate stayed controlled on the climbs which felt awfully slow at times but wasn’t in the end.

Easy with Jackson around La Fresneda, a while since I ran around the urbanización so finding the distance wasn’t too boring. Warm out, probably 24C even at this hour, so finished covered in sweat.

Skipped yesterday as I couldn’t find the time but also wasn’t that keen because the knee didn’t feel great. Again it’s not sore, just feels a bit off. It felt fine today though which was nice. However conscious I still need to get some exercises done outside of running to fully sort it out.

Not sure why it was hard to keep the heart rate down today. Maybe related to the heat as it was 31C earlier in the day.

Left knee has been a little off the last week or two and a little disgruntled after the run. Not painful but something off. I need to get back to some mobility and core work, it has been a while.

Very easy with the dogs to close the farm. I took a tumble early on, my headlamp has a habit of dimming randomly which probably didn't help.

I've been training somewhat the last 18 months but very inconsistently with many days off, often a few in a row. I can feel the benefit from the recent consistency even if every day looks tame by itself.
