Week of Recovery
On the long run Monday I pushed farther than usual, to test myself a
little. Recovery from longer runs always takes time for me, even when
I've been training more than now. I'm simply not one of those people who
can knock out long stuff week after week, which is totally fine. I'm
happy to be running and pushing my personal limits from time to time.
This week a little more than usual I felt the shadow of the long run.
Rtime Rclimb Ltime Lclimb Htime Hclimb OnFeet
7:39 2760 4:29 1620 2:26 1050 10:05
30-Apr run 4:29 1620 7.5 142 Mohonk 'marathon' 26.51m
30-Apr hike 0:15 30 1 mohonk
Chronicled separately.
1-May hike 0:45 60 1 new paltz rail trail
Legs pretty stiff, so just easy walking. For these situations I subtract
a little time and call it a hike.
2-May run 0:23 1 gym, trd
2-May hike 0:17 2 gym, trd
Legs still not ready to go, but a little light running on treadmill.
3-May run 1:17 640 2 stony brook
3-May hike 0:27 400 2.5 stony brook
By Thursday I was dying to get out there more, so I did a little more,
albeit on still recovering legs. It was a lackluster somewhat cooler
day, but the timber rattlesnake I'd seen a couple of weeks ago on the
black trail was right there with his head sticking out of his den. He
tried to withdraw his head so I wouldn't see him, and I probably
wouldn't have, but I know right where he lives.
4-May run 0:37 100 2 ram park
4-May hike 0:27 460 2 ram park
5-May run 0:53 400 2 ram park
5-May hike 0:15 100 2.5 ram park
6-May off
By Saturday's run I was feeling a little better, but still not ready to
open it up that much. Based on the way the week unfolded, I overdid the
long run by a click or two, but everything should be fine as long as I
keep listening to my body in coming days.
Goals:
5/27 Pineland Farms 50 km run
7/29 Escarpment trail 30 km mountain run
9/30 Vermont 50 km run

After my 53 mile ultra last weekend, it's been a week of indecision.
> Greetings wreck runners! Please tell us about your training week and

Obviously I should be enjoying a bit of R&R but with a two day 80+ mile
ultra in less than a week, I don't know whether I'm coming or going. ;-)
Monday - easy 5.1 mile trail run
Tuesday - 5K warm up + 5K time trial. A really stupid idea but our club has
one every month and my time reflected the knackered state of my legs.
Dragged myself round in 22:36
Wednesday - DNR Cycle 37 miles.
Thursday - DNR
Friday - 8.2 mile hilly run
Saturday - DNR
Sunday Cycle 29 miles
Goals - I've got a trail race this weekend that is about 40 miles on
Saturday & another 40 miles on Sunday. I've never done an event like this
and I have no expectations beyond getting round and preserving my legs.
This is followed by *another* trail ultra the following weekend (about 55
miles). I really don't need reminding what a stupid idea this is. ;-)
After that, it's the full West Highland Way race (95 miles) on the 23rd of
June.
I previously posted that I had been hoping to get my 5K time back under 20
minutes. That's had to go by the board alas. I strained an abdominal
muscle somehow (I thought it was a hernia for a while but that's been
discounted) which put an end to my more strenuous speed work. Motivation
for that goal has somewhat evaporated what with all the races going on at
the moment. Maybe later in the year I'll get back to it.

This is one way to discover what your recovery rate is.

First week of the month, with somewhat lower weights, volume and speedwork.
> Greetings wreck runners! Please tell us about your training week and

All trackwork is barefoot. Did a hike rather than a long run on sunday. The difficult footing made my ankle quite tired (and my left knee sore the next day). I suppose I still need time to heal it up.
M 30/05 Squats: 3x15x85, Shoulders: 3x5x40, Pullups: 5x10
T 01/05 10' + strides + 2x100m@16"[2'] + 4x400m@90-100"[2'] + 10'
W 02/05 Deadlifts: 3x15x85, Chest: 3x5x60, Row: 3x5x85
T 03/05 7km/250m@50'
F 04/05 Squats: 3x10x95, Shoulder Row/Press: 2x3x5x45, Pulley: 4x10x70-90
S 05/05 Run: 10' easy + 8x100@20"[1'] + 20' easy
S 06/06 Hike: 3:30' ~10km/600m
This week: take it easy and perhaps race on Saturday.

I also have 2 mountain 50milers the next 2 weekends, and a 100 in late June. A 20mile long run last weekend, followed by several 4-10mile recovery runs, and very little this week going into the first 50. We'll see how it goes; enjoying the scenery and staying hydrated are my only goals :)

Dang man ... good luck but still ... I would think it might be smarter
to back off and do some more days off and ease back into the speed
work when recovered.

Ummm ... you are still recovering apparently from something ... and
strenuous speed work.

8:50 in third position! Okay, only 14 starters and 2 hours behind the
leaders but I'm still claiming a podium finish. Tomorrow might be
interesting. ;-)

Eternal-September seems broken here, but I had already written this to post
so I'll try anyway.
Due to erratic right knee pain, I gave up running after April 20.I spent
equivalent periods of time walking on the days I had scheduled runs, but much
shorter distances. Also continued hiking. Almost never had knee pain during
brisk activity, but might other times as when casually strolling or sitting,
or sleeping.
Today was the Pearl Harbor Bike Path 10K. I used to do it annually, and it
is the course where I set my PB, one of three 10Ks under 41 minutes. (I never
broke 40 on a properly measured course.) But in 1998 it became my job to time
it, and except for one year (2000) when I was trying to train a substitute, I
had never run it again. I had resigned as club timer as of the start of this
year, so yesterday I made up my mind to join the race, even if it meant just
walking for my Sunday's hour-and-a-half of excercise.
Fortunately I went early -- there was only one volunteer for the registration
table, and she would have been in trouble handling both new registrants and
pre-registrants. I took care of the latter.
When the race started I walked the first one or two hundred meters, keeping up
with or even passing some of the slower joggers. But I couldn't resist jogging
myself from time to time. Probably ended up "running" 2/3 or 3/4 of the
distance. About two minutes from the end I caught and briefly passed the guy
who would finish second in my age group. I passed him again after he passed me
back, but I was surprised how tired I was after just walking so much of it: I
couldn't catch him the second time he passed me and I ended up in 3rd place
by four seconds (but 9:50 behind 1st). Bill credits me with him knocking one
minute off his last year's time.
I'm a little surprised that I did the race without stopping to think that I
would be doomed to a new PW: 1:07:29, for my 103rd 10K, three minutes worse
than my last one.
Just in case I might really resume running, I went to Runners HI after the
race, hoping to buy a pair of Altra Adams. They didn't have the Adams. I tried
the Intuitions(?), and compared them with New Balance Minimuses. The Altras
felt clunky, so I went with the NB to replace my dilapidated Nike Frees, in
what might be called "celery green" (ich!).
