Been hitting the leg strengthening workouts pretty heavy lately, and the speed skaters on Thursday left my Gluteus Medius' with a severe case of DOMS ... almost sore to touch
Legs, especially hips felt incredibly weak and heavy for the run
In spite of the leg pain, the 15 mile run went really well, here are the splits:
8:30, 8:15, 7:29, 7:11, 7:28, 7:33, 6:54, 6:50, 6:45, 7:22, 6:52, 6:50, 6:54, 8:27, 8:49
I'm nowhere near where I need to be, but I'm starting to get a little "swagger" back. Besides being a little overweight right now, the biggest challenge has been this cold that I've had since November 25th ... it literally just grinds on me and wears me down, I just don't feel like doing anything most of the time, so workouts have obviously been a challenge, but in spite of that, I've basically been killing my workouts!!!

Dude, you've been in beast mode in regards to regaining your fitness!
ReplyDeleteKeep at it!!!
And see a dr about your cold. It could be walking pneumonia-or it could be just a cold.....
: )
I can't even get under 8 min miles, so - run some for me!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if that was going to be a Game of Thrones reference. Glad to hear you are getting some swagger back!
ReplyDeleteA cold that lasts that long is enough to take the sting out of your fitness. Hope you're feeling better soon.
