V50 Comeback - Week 4 - The sudden stop

-
2 Weeks of eating pretty clean. Minimal snacks, minimal booze, low calory, steps in etc. etc. Net result - pretty much same fucking weight this morning haha - 70.1kg Straight fact is that diet will help but miles make the diet. I need to go from 35 to 50-60 no getting around it. I much prefer doing 5 run days per week but I think I need to add in some super easy running to get the fat burning, simple as that. Still a few aches and pains. Right achilies and foot I am very confident is cleared up now. Left foot I am pretty confident won't be an issue. The only thing I am hessitant about is my left glute / piriformis so paying extra close attention to that. Plan this week. Just roll the easy miles easy, lift it slightly and based on everything happening I will keep the 2 sessions fully under control. I have 3 paces I work to. So 1500 pace for example - pace is 74 per 400. Target pace is 72 and stretch pace is 69. This week I will favor staying closer to pace which is what I would run ...

The Return - Training to Train - Prehab

-
Monday 13th October 2025 Weight in 68.4 kg Plan to just roll out and run easy for around 5 miles. Start is perfect absolutely zero. Stop at just past 2.5 mark for a piss and then start rolling. Very very slight ache in glute. Doesn't feel like piriformis, more like either joint or lower left side from weights - DOMS are very real still! Take a precaution stop as no point risking anything. 3.27 miles in 27.09 for 140 bpm - 1162 beats per mile efficiency. The positive is that this is probably the most pain free run since March. Very little aside from a slight grumble which is most likely gym aches from lunges. The bounce was there and I felt good. Positive start. Obviously I didn't get around the full course but that's just an over protection. Overall the run was a success. I think now it's just crack on and manage things. Back home and immediately into rehab routine. 25 mins. With the 15 mins of mobility in the morning there is a lot happening to get a potential return! ...

Is It Actually Happening ??

-
After a weeks break from running, it feels today that it may - whisper it - may be on the upwards trajectory. After seeing Tom on Wednesday, I got the update that the achillies is healing BUT I have an issue with the peroneal nerve & tendon. Makes sense as soreness is around side of ankle. Parkrun today - it felt not amazing BUT it wasn't horiffic. Obviously the time and effort were (8/10 and 20:51). Finished day with a gym session (annoyingly strength room still closed for exams) BUT I am starting to feel like I am finally on the way up. I am wary of typing this as I have done so many times in the past 10 weeks but it did feel different today. Not sure where it leaves me, I'll gym tomorrow and the try another run on Monday. It's about time as I am balloning in weight now and need to get back to it even if just for the sake of my mental and physical health. No targets just to run pain free and be able to do plyometrics. Sunday 15th June - Fathers Day Legs feel bob on to...
