Training Log Archive: Bomb

NOL long at pittwater. made some attempt to stay in the race at the start, but it was just pointless. there was no way I could run properly, and trying to was just causing big mistakes. I decided by the second loop to just run at a speed that didn't cause too much pain and try to navigate cleanly. much happier after that, and I enjoyed the rest of the course (once I stopped thinking about how depressingly slow I was). possibly the worst type of terrain for my injury, but then at least interesting enough if you're condemned to walk-jogging instead of running.

warm up. barely running, so no point warming down.

NOL middle at pittwater. no idea at the start how this would go with my back/hammy issue. It started out okish, but got tighter and tighter and soft ground and climbs were a killer. Nav was not too bad for most controls, but stuffed up 12 and 16 spectacularly (hopefully that's my big disaster run done for the year).

warm up - trying to get running.

hammy and piriformis super sore

chiro. another adjustment to sacrum. back again on monday.

C • Back 2

6 x 500 with 500 jog recoveries. I thought this session would be ok as my back/hammy thing had been improving, but it was much worse. quite intense nerve pain through my glute. It didn't feel like it impeded my running stride too much, but it hurt just to move. not happy.

warm up, warm down and drills

more stretching after running. back to chiro tomorrow.

back/hammy still sore, but better than previous weeks.

bit better this week. actually felt like I was swimming properly for parts. still slow and wobbly by the end. need to focus more on core stability.
