Light at the end of the tunnel

Things move quickly in sport!

Found a huge knot in my mid back, rolling it out and trying to pressure it off made a big difference.
Absolute agony but seems to be helping. Focus on that for the rest of the day.  Have a mattress support coming today to firm up the bed as well which should help.

Fingers crossed back in the game tomorrow, if I can iron this out we're down to the one main niggle which would be nice!

Jesus resting is boring

Achillies Update

-
So, no point harping on, here's the skinny - June 8th 2024 - Achillies goes from being super tight to properly going. Signs were there but I tried to run through. June 17th 2024 - Return, start to run but still not right and stop again. June 28 & June 29 2024 - Start again. Feels better but not right again. July 4th - restart and resume.  July 8th - some pace work (1.5 miles @ 5.37/mm) start to feel tight calfs - a sign that achillies has cleared. July 15 - 24th - 70 mile week.  July 23 - still feel achillies but double with a session. Sessions at track resume. August 7th - notice an achillies grumble. Back into full training. Calf calves calfs tight. August 13th - notice that it's best yet on track. August 29th - First time I felt back on top of things and moving well. --------------------- That's first stage --------------------- December 3rd 2024 - Session at Eddington. Achillies is really sore. From here on it's a rebuild. 4 days off, run and it's OK. Sessio...

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 ...

Back in the routine

-
Decided this week to stop the swinging training and pressing too much on the routine. Go back to the simple, workable plan and get some fitness. I've been chasing too hard and all I have ended up doing is chasing my tail. This week I went back to basics. 5 run days per week. No doubles, maximise rest, some strength, some plyos and just build some consistency. Monday Gym - lifting all the leg muscle groups. Need to keep going with this, good plan and not too long so no excuses to drop. Been doing my s&c at home lately so nice to hit the gym again. Tuesday Session. 1500m finals tonight so headed to the lake loop with Jacob (not that one!) and did 5 x lap off 60-90 recovery. Jog back home. Plan was threshold but ran it to feel and just looked at lap time. Ended up 10k -> 5k. 2.26, 2.20, 2.21, 2.20, 2.17 (5.39/mm -> 5.14/mm). Recovery about 80 secs avge. Moving well, not too bad at all and felt nice to have some pace in there. 5.8 miles  Wednesday Solo run as travelling away ...
