Pushing my boundaries and making my physio rich...

18k in 1 Hour 40!
Good run around the park, the knee which was at me a couple of weeks ago was at me again as I went up the Kyber near the end, and at me for a bit of the rest of the way. Not sore enough to stop, but clearly the same "inflamation" I had a couple of weeks ago, and while not something which will stop me easy running, when I run hard or long its at me - so not right.
So have decided not to do planned 20 miler today. Also time to revisit the physio again, and for him to tell me to take 2 weeks off - its not a serious issue, but you have to take any pain in knee seriously, I dont want to loose months injured.

Today on my plan was a 20-22 mile run, what I actually did was watch the match in the gym [which is what I used to do when I was on my initial weight loss plan], doing weights and stuff during the first half and running for 60 mins really slowly on the treadmill during the second half - no huge issues, when I pushed hill or pace on dreadmill it got a bit sore, so I could just ease off and it was fine.. [8.5k in 60 mins, but never believed the numbers on those treadmills tbh]
Afterwards I cycled out to mums to collect something, about 8k or so, and when I pushed it on the bike the knee was sore [again, not agony, but I can very much feel it, so I can run and cycle on it etc, but running and walking thru pain only makes sense at certain times
]
So clearly not ready for doing anything too dramatic yet - bah!0 -

Trip to physio - almost better, but not quite, wants me off running for another week, basically if I had not been doing some of the running and classes I have been doing with other half, I would be ok by now. I knew that, but did some of it anyway - d'oh!
On the other side all the other stuff Im doing means my core, hips and glutes are as strong as they ever have been, which should really improve future running and cutting down some silly injuries I have gotten in the past
Not doing Donade, not even as a training run. Seriously thinking of skipping Conn [doing an ultra off basically 6 weeks training does not sound smart], in favour of Kildare maybe - but will think about that over weekend.0 -

Permission to get back running from physio, which is great...
You know he is good and knows his running when he is threatening me with GBH if I run for more than 25-30 mins at a time AND if I go to fast. I have permission for slow and short jogs to build stuff up and confirm we are all good, before I see him at the end of the week [since I have had one setback with this already due to going back too much, too soon]. So going to trust him, anyway, Im mad busy this week so lucky that I dont have too much time to run anyway 0 -
Monday :
70 mins in Gym [inc. 25 mins on dreadmill]
30 mins swimming
Tuesday and Wednesday - sick at home, on my ass watching movies
This Morn:
45 mins in gym [inc. 25 mins on dreadmill]
Will go swimming after work, but since I was out for 2 days I have a crap load to do, so I had to get here.
Taking what physio said seriously, so going to slowly and build up, with the clear aim of being better than ever when I get back, and stronger where I need to be and less injury prone, in short term Im now looking at 10k's and maybe Halves in Late April/May0 -
Still going to gym and doing non-running stuff and doing what physio said I should [and avoiding what he said] - but feeling like my knee is not getting any better tbh..
Amazing day out yesterday, I was a grumpy mo fo at home, as I really wanted to go out for a run, and could not [Well, I could have, clearly, but no point getting re injured again after taking this long to ensure its right]. In the end went out to Dun Laorighie for a walk
Going back to him today, and we will see
Going to take the plunge and get a "bike to work" scheme bike this week, and get something I can do some longer stuff on. No idea what, will let myself be lead by the nice man in the shop 0 -

Spend the full grand on the bike, accessories can generally be got for less online 0 -

Tuesday Night:
Swimming Lesson - I will master damn breathing one of these f00kin days
Wednesday:
Lunch : 30 Mins - 5k run
PM : Circa 45 mins strength and core work in gym and then a 45 min kettlebell class with other half afterwards - ABSOLUTELY wrecked afterwards.
Thursday:
Real life issues meant I took a day off
Fri:
Took early lunch and went swimming, sooooo close to being able to...er...not drown
May run home later, or may go on the p1ss, we will see
Weekend - Looking forward to being able to do some bit of running over the weekend. Will get clever, and cycle to where I want to run, maximising my limited run duration, to run somewhere cool. Might break my ParkRun virginity a week early, and venture out to Malahide! Theres an idea...
Oh, and ordered my bike to work bike the other day. Spending €999.99 on bike and lock, thanks for the words of advice here and elsewhere!0 -
Saturday:
5k to Gym
30 mins core work and general weights in gym
45 min Swimming lesson..
Sunday:
Wanted to push the running a fraction, so plan was to run for circa 40 mins and see. So ended up doing 8k in 44 mins and change.
The knee was not quite right at the end, I guess if I had pushed the distance to 10k or beyond it could have started to get sore again. So I guess this is right where my current boundry is.
In London during the week with work, so I will do an early morning lap of regents park on Wednesday, likley to be my next run 0 -
Raging reading all the reports from Bothermeen, enjoyed it last year and was entered this year, but how and ever, there will be other races
Monday Lunchtime : Swim Practice for 35-40 mins
Monday Evening : Just under 6.5k in just under 34 Mins - Simple fartlek, with bursts of speed over random short and longer distances. Turns out 2 of the k's were right at marathon pace, which was good to see.
Not a bother with the knee with is great, but kept it short regardless. It will all be worth it in the end 0 -

Crazy busy week in work, between going to London and Dublin
Wednesday morning:
7.5k in 39 mins odd around regents park [longer distance than I had planned tbh] - including 5 x 200m [On the dirt track near the zoo] at somewhere between 1/2 and 10k pace for a good blow out.
All good with knee [but utterly ruined after the 5xtwo's!!]
Yesterday - planned to go to gym and for a swim, but had to work late and then went home made food and went to bed as I was wrecked.
Fri Morning:
Just over 6k in 34 mins odd - easy run into work, sticking to my plan and keeping it short and pretty easy in the wind and rain.
Knee perfect, no issues at all.
Wondering if I might go totally crazy and try to do 10k over the weekend 0 -

Run into work, pushing my recovery a touch further...
9k in 47 mins
Did 3 separate KM's at marathon pace as a test of knee and also an effort to make this a bit of a quality session and to get more out of it [the sheer fact that marathon pace feels pretty hard and fast is a sign of how much fitness I have lost, but glad to be getting back to some kind of shape].
Going to start the 8 week McMillian 10k plan from next week, for the sake of doing something. Even if I dont quite hit some of the paces, I want to have some kind of target and goal, and my 10k PB is a couple of years old and needs taking down 0 -
-
The new Fit magazine 10k - 10 days before my stag, tempting..
Thinking targeting Bay 10k as next 'target race' and could also do that Fit Mag one, as a backup - thinking back last year to the Night Run 10k, where I just missed a PB by being an idiot and being lazy in middle of run 0 -

Only a small window for a run, inside a busy day, so tried another one of McMillian's treadmill workouts..
Basically..
5 mins easy warm up
5 mins at treadmill pace 9
5 mins at treadmill pace 10
5 mins at treadmill pace 11
5 mins at treadmill pace 12
5 mins at treadmill pace 13 [circa 4.40 per km pace]
5 mins at treadmill pace 8 to cool down...
Couple of stretches for core, hips and glutes at end to properly cool down..
Good session, from desk to gym and back to desk in 45 mins 0 -
