Ugh. My ankle is still sore. I'm pretty sure it's "only" iffy ligaments, but I made the mistake of asking Dr Google, and now I'm worried that it might be the talus cartilage. I was planning on...
RnR, that's great! Keep getting stronger. :)
It's been another up and down week for me. A lot of figurative running around last week left me tired. And with the bodywork from last week and the...
34 minutes is an extremely respectable time in 98 degrees! Yikes :eek: !
Glad your running is going well!!
I've really been struggling with the threshold-pace workouts. Some days it's been because it's been extra hot on those days, and those are the workouts that bring...
Naw, I need the elbows. Whenever I see a new massage therapist I tell them to bring a pair of pliers and a sledgehammer, it's really not far from the truth.
Hope we're ALL finished with slogs for...
Oh brrr/yuk/brrr. Glad you're feeling better and getting back to strength!
First 20-miler of the cycle yesterday, and the whole thing felt like a slog. Not exactly sure why. It was a beautiful...
I'll PM you.
I just pulled the trigger on my plane tickets. Sh*t just got real. :eek:
It was extra hot today and crazy windy, so I was really glad that my workout today was shorter intervals that I could do...
I'd say my experience is the same. Not only as far as frequency, but in terms of percentage of total mileage - I'm never not tired at the end of a run that's more than around 30% of my weekly mileage...
Yay RnR!! So glad things are looking up for you. Fingers crossed.
Friday morning I was feeling nice and rested from my easy week. Then the chiropractor got into everything with his Graston tools...
14 miles at easy pace is WAY easy when the prescribed workout was for seven of them to be three 2-mile threshold pace repeats, plus one more single mile at threshold pace.
Distance doesn't make...
I took you guys' advice. I was feeling almost there this morning, and programmed the workout into my watch - which polls heart rate variability, one measure of recovery, for the first few minutes,...
So, maybe running those two half marathons wasn't such a great idea ...
I'm not well recovered this week. I had my HRM on at yoga yesterday, and noticed my HR was way higher than it normally is in...
It's okay to be frustrated! Some people having it worse, doesn't make things any better for you. It stinks being injured, it extra triple stinks being injured and cold and hypoglycemic and getting...
Nice!!
I've never had Graston done, but I had gua sha once, which is a TCM technique that's supposed to be the inspiration for Graston. Left some crazy marks, but no residual soreness. My...
Sounds good, RnR.
What does the PT say about maintaining your overall running fitness? Is there other cardio you can do, to keep that end of it up? Most of what I've read, is that when someone's...
Nice, Emily!
Really, what we had yesterday was the kind of weather that it's tough to motivate for a training run, but near perfect for a hard effort once you're out there. Probably a good thing...
Thanks. I'll try them.
Glad you've been able to run a little. Sounds like miserable conditions out there, and more coming in tomorrow.
Got any tips for doing the clamshells? I've always wondered about the hip and knee...
Ha. :D Funny how the thought of having a female PT tape my bare azz, does seem so much more awkward than my male MTs digging around in my obturators and iliacus through a sheet, or the chiropractor...
If you don't follow the Daily Bandha (which doesn't post anything close to daily) - it's a really amazingly detailed site explaining fascial connections and alignment cues in yoga and beyond. Here's...
Ow, heal up quick. Glad you've been able to get into PT right away though.
I used to love the balance mat when I was a gym rat. Haven't been on one since ... not a bad idea, even, as you say, for...
Hellish Morning, if it involves getting up at 4 a.m., as this one would.
Yep, half marathon. :)
Interval day today. Ugh.
There's another HM on Sunday ... it fits into my training plan a lot better than the last one did ... it's an easy way to get my tempo run done. Then again, it's early in...
