First Week Back

Week 1 of my post-honeymoon return to training and path to next season.

• Monday:  Jet lagged
• Tuesday:  Rehab walk, 50:00m, 2.66m, no run intervals, posture only
• Wednesday:  Rehab run, 38:34, 2.62m, including 2 run intervals
• Thursday:  30 minute trainer ride during Sharks game (7-2 baby!), including 2 power plays and 1 penalty kill out of the saddle.
• Friday:  Rehab run, 40:49, 2.64m, including 2 run intervals
• Saturday:  Weight training, adaptation phase, 60m, plus 20m of eliptical warm-up, stretching and core work.
• Sunday:  Rehab run, 38:41, 2.66m, including 3 run intervals

As you can see, no swimming and no real riding to speak of.  The focus for now is on rebuilding my run ability through rehab and rebuilding base muscle strength through weight training.  Swimming and cycling will be added in, along with yoga and other fun stuff, as time allows.  For now, its three runs a week, minimum.

The body is feeling good. My shins are a bit sore from the rehab; they are the weak link in my effort to gain a proper heal strike in my running form.

Thanks for checking in.  See you later this week.
