Come Back run after 3 weeks off

Untitled by StanZ at Garmin Connect - Details

Today is the 1st run of my long break, due to the tendon Achilles.

Is not getting fully recover, but some massage can release my pain and feel better.

Plan to start a relax and real easy run after the long break, targeting at 5km with a low heart rate.

KM 1 - although I plan to start slow, but it seem still hard for me, my leg is feeling uneasy. due to overprotective of my right leg, i think i landed a little bit hard for my left leg. My hamstring is feeling fatigue and uneasy

KM 2 - thought will going to be better when getting into my second KM, the feeling is still the same. can't believe with around 7 minutes/km will keep me working so hard. is start to halving and puffing now. and look at my watch, my heart rate is shoot up incredibly to a 185 at this pace. 7 minutes/km

KM 3 - getting into the feel now, the feeling is getting easy(or my body get use to it?) look at the watch, still going around 7 minutes/km. keep up and start thinking if i can get 1km going faster

KM 4 - start to picking up the speed from here, raising my pace and stride, although my hamstring give me some hard time, but i felt great and the good feeling of running is coming back, not as the harder feeling that i thought it will came. feeling superb now.

KM 5 -  slow down for recovery run, at the last 500 meter, did an easy sprint to finish off the run. my left knee feel sloppy, hamstring feel uneasy, end 5km with around 33 minutes

looking forward for my second run, Adidas King of the Road is 9th sept, what i wish here is i can finish it within 1 hours and 50 minutes.

GOGOGOGOGO

Time is still not right for running

Day 14 without running, thank to the tendon Achilles.

Today is the 14th days, the leg still feel uncomfortable for normal walking. Initially I thought it will be fine if I take 2 weeks off for my running schedule, but the situation is not as expected.

Adidas King of The Road is at 9th Sept, which it 2 weeks from now, not spend a single day to train for it. now still doubt if I will run it. My half marathon debut will be at 20th Oct, seem like I also do not have time to prepare for it.

Time without running, is not as hard as I expected, time goes, I can go on my relax schedule. The only little things that feel weird is that I feel like I have little thing not done in my life. Maybe is this the feeling that many people talking about, when you love running, you cannot get it out from your life.

Will take another week off for my Achilles to recover, hope everything go well for my leg and I can at least get some training for my Half Marathon debut.


Tomorrow will be better, should always spread the positive energy.


:)

Good day ahead

Fresh start for a running journal

Today is the ninth days straight without running.

After suffering from Tendon Achilles in my right foot, I had to stop running to get it from recovery.

Nine days without running might mean little to others, but since I coming back from running few years back(might be 3 years back), I never stop for such a long time without any valid reasons. 

I am healthy, do not have long vacation, do not have any others life interference, but yet I can't get back to running. My next race is around the corner, definitely do not have enough time to prepare for it Adidas King of The Road 2012 for 16.8km. 

My 1st attempt for half marathon is at 20th Oct. I should be in the middle of my training plan and should get working hard on the speed work. But yet i still sitting in home, writing this blog.

Hope my tendon Achilles will recover soon and let me get back to running, I missed the time the sweat all over me and my heart is working just hard.

Get well soon.
