Slow Ass Training
Well I may be back in the saddle but I am still getting 'saddle sores'.
I have been running for a few weeks now with some smal pains in the legs, nothing bad but it is noticable. I am doing 22 min runs on the treadmill at about a 10min/mile pace jsut to get back into it albeit slowly. I started off doing 20min runs at the same pace and I am moving up the regular runs by about 2-4 mins/week until I get to where I need to be.
I am goingto start one 'long' run per week starting this week also. I will do a soft pack flat trail run once a week at about the same pace but for 40 min or so. If I feel any pains I plan to stop.
I am also back on the bike and doing 45min on it outdoors just a steady pace not hard, no hills of any consequence.
In the pool everything seems ok and I am doing easy workouts of 300 w/u - 8x25 kick - 4x100 free w/ 5 sec rest - 8x25 drill - 300 cd.
Oh well I will keep anyone interested updated with what goes on.

I'm Back In The Saddle Again.....Maybe
Well I did a very slow 5k last weekend with my wife at the run for the cure.
It took me just under 6min/km so I am not where I once was. I didn't push it either though so worries at this point.
I wore 2 knee braces just to make certain that nothing goes wrong. I felt a touch of discomfort in my calves so nothing to worry about there either.
I plan on starting true base training next week on thanksgiving (Canadian).
Til Then.
