Winter 25/26 Base Weeks 1 -5

Week 1 Base training starts here. Build conditioning, get the miles up and get comfortable. Once I am running comfortably AND HR is under control AND long run is up to 12 miles I will push on to actual training. Monday 27th October 2025 Weigh in 67.5 kg. Kebab for diner last night. Salt intake high last couple of day so combined with creatine just adds water weight. Not overly concerned as I am coming off a lot of strength work and diet has held up. Actually impressed (for me) that I have not cracked. Protein bar occasionally and protein shakes most days are the only real sugar I have. Holiday tomorrow - I'll drop all the supps while I am away including creatine. It's either helped me build muscle now or it hasn't. IF I am running I'll 100% continue with it but otherwise I am not sure as I never really see the benefit (unless it's now of course lol). I will run test shortly.

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! ...
