Daz Does Tri

Another week rolls around and I'm away for the majority and have a session planned on Saturday (drinking NOT running). Do not believe I'll top 40 miles to keep the trend going! Tuesday July 22nd Warm up 2 miles and cool down 2 miles. Session day off a rest day and as usual legs feel bleugh! Plan was 2k, 1 mile, 1200, 800, 400 (basically drop a lap each rep) but I hit a wall on the 1200 and failled. Legs were not responsive and I definately felkt like I got the worst of GPS signal as paces felt quicker. 2k - 5.44/mm (7.08) - 153 bpm 1 mile - 5.39/mm - 161 bpm 0.12 - 5.47/mm 800m - 5.15/mm (2.37) - 152 bpm 400m - 5.11/mm (78) - 148 bpm Felt heavy and wore Saucony EE2 but was moving fairly well and main thing was no ankle pain. Wednesday Very tired run, everything ached. Few days of eating badly and booze and it hit me pretty hard. 7 miles @ 8.19/mm for 134 bpm. All on trail and soft fluffy grass so expected that. Thursday Planning to session tomorrow so an additional easy run. Un...

Don't call it a comeback ... Played this tune straight after hitting 16.59 at Peterborough 5k series on my first half decent race after giving up triathlon and cycling in 2019. My first race as a runner again since 2013. 6 years later and the gap is the same. This song is going straight on my ride home once I get half decent fitness again! Monday 14th July 2025 Rest day. Ease the legs. Massage with Jenny - tight hammys still and back is shredded. Calfs easing. Area around achillies tight. Still need some focus on loosening these things off before I get bouncy but lets face it. I'm not going to build back without getting some soreness. Hyperbaric chamber in the afternoon. Bit weird and lets face it, a single session won't save much. Ate shit all day - not great. Tuesday Weight in 67.2 kg which is great considering. Back on tracking - food and running. Keen to jog this morning but need to keep my ammo dry whilst I rebuild. Patience. Leg feels OK. Nothing major just usual work...

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...
