Regular  90  Bearspaw, Alberta |  Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - ClosedWhew, made it through my run tonight. It wasn't pretty and it wasn't fast - but I did it. Question for you runner folks - sore legs: run through it or rest them? I think my legs are still recovering a bit from my long run on the weekend. I took Monday off but ran yesterday and today. My legs are still sore (tired sore, not hurt sore). My 'inner-BigDH' says keep on running |
but I know a lot of you have a lot more running experience than I do so I figured I'd poll you all.| 2013-01-02 9:55 PM in reply to: #4543109 |

If you just need to work out, go for a swim, or easy bike. I work out 5-6 times per week and rest 1-2 times. I find my body functions better rested and I also avoid injuries which innevitably force you to rest not on your terms.Whew, made it through my run tonight.

A little faster then I should have been going but when there is someone else on the track....well, I couldn't let him pass me could I? 4 miles and change then 5 minutes on the rowing machine which was my friend during the height of my weight loss...5 minutes of torture this morning.

My legs are still sore (tired sore, not hurt sore). My 'inner-BigDH' says keep on running You just need to take your time. Unless you are running 4 times a week consistently there is just about no need ever to run 2 days in a row. Are you trying to build up quickly? If you are trying to move to 4 days a week I would do something like Tuesday Thursday Friday Sunday with your long run on Sunday. That way you get a rest day before and after your long run. You could do Monday Wednesday, Thursday Saturday or whatever. Try to go for an easy bike ride the day after your long run, or that evening even, and that really helps with recovery. Eventually when you move to 6 or 7 days a week you will actually be able to do a proper recover run. Like you will be able to go out and run and you will be tired and sore but your legs will want it and you won't be dragging your butt through it. For most people though that takes some serious time. You have to remember the thing you need to worry about isn't the big muscles that are sore, it is the little muscles and tendons and bones that you don't necessarily feel until they crack or tear. Do 4 days a week for a month, or maybe 3 months, or forever, a triathlete who runs 4 days a week is running more than most. Work in the biking and swimming. Do you have a plan? Your training goals are mileage based, which I think are great. So if all you want to hit is 1000km running, then you just need to run 5k a day 4 times a week. Why push it to more than that right now? The other thing is that the pace of a recovery run is very easy. If your long run left you hurting at a 6:20 pace then a true recovery run maybe should be done at over a 7:00 /km pace. There really is so much to run training and triathlon training. I blabber on. Go for 4 days a week. Take a day off before and after your long run. |

The problem is that the cardiovascular system and brain is ready but bones and tendon/ligaments take more time to adapt. |

The problem is that the cardiovascular system and brain is ready but bones and tendon/ligaments take more time to adapt. Thanks all. Higdon is what I'm following and they had 4 runs a week so I was thinking that's what I had to do doing. Clearly, the body is just not quite ready for that yet so I'll cut one back. I am trying to do a pretty major jump in my mileage but I can always walk a bit if I have to - I'd rather not get injured. So today's plan heat the leg, maybe swim and a trip to the beer store to replace everything. I checked out a defrosted one this morning and it was looking pretty flat. |

My running plan called for 4 days running but the 4th was run or cross train. Therefore I crosstrained. I had a history of shin splints and plantar fascitis. Therefore I did not want to push it. I also used a run/walk/run for my weekend long run (Galloway method). It really made a difference. It was one of the coolest things in my life training for the HM. At some point, I was running the furthest distance I had ever done in my life. With the run/walk/run method I always felt I could have kept going but I held myself to the plan. That can be tough to do. |

Champion 5312 Calgary | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Closed what does running 70 miles a week get you? So I ran 70 miles a week for 7 weeks straight to get my stupid mileage goal for last year. That is about 15 miles a week more than I averaged up to that point. I did 2 solid interval sessions in the first two weeks and attempted 2 or 3 tempo runs which I failed at. For the last 5 weeks all I did was run. And run slow. Some runs were okay, about a 6:20 min pace for a 20k run or maybe a 5:40 for a 10k, but most were slower, like a 7:00 min pace for a 20k (that is 2 hours and 20 min for that run which is a long mother loving time). A lot of hour and 45 minute 16kms. So this is slow stuff I am doing here, even for me. So today I went out and killed it. 4 X 10 min tempo intervals with a 2 minute walk/jog break all done at 4:30/km. Hell yeah I did. I can’t believe it. After all that slow drudgery dragging my butt I thought I would never run fast again. Hot dang it. It wasn’t easy but it wasn’t super hard either. I am excited. |
