I have achilles tendonitis and have not run since last Wednesday. I have been cross training and working on strength training.
A.M. I took the 24 lift class at my health club. It is an overall strength workout focusing on muscle endurance. 3-4 sets of 16 reps, continuous. 1 hour class
P.M. spinning bike. 10 min warm up, ladder: 1 min hard 1 min easy 2 min hard 2 min easy 3min hard 3 min easy 4 min hard 4 min easy 5 min hard 5min easy 5 min hard 5 min easy. I was trying to get all the way down the ladder, but Cole started crying. 50 min. total

I needed to see how my achilles was feeling. I ran an easy 5 miler. I started at my house, ran down 48th south, hopped on the river trail until Millrace park, and then ran through the neighborhood home. My achilles really hurt for the first 10 minutes, but then seemed to warm up. It still hurt, but was bearable.

Warmed up ten minutes. Ran to Millrace Park. Ran 15x 1min hard/1min easy. Cooled down 10 minutes. I stayed on a flat, grassy running surface to protect my tendon. My achilles hardly hurt at all when I started, but got progressively more sore as the workout went on. But, it seemed to handle it okay. We'll see how it feels tomorrow.

Warmed up 15 minutes plus strides. The race went pretty well considering my training has been sub-par for 2.5 weeks. In addition, my baby didn't adjust well to sleeping in a hotel, and was up all night long. However, it was good for me to race under less than optimal conditions, even if it meant that I didn't run my fastest race ever. There is so much that is out of my control, especially now that I'm a mother. It is good for me to be mentally tough and just do my best.
I ran a short 10 minute cool down. My achilles really hurt after the race. Time for ice and ibuprofen. | | Comments(4) |
