A positive 2 weeks with definite progress to a new, though still elementary, level.
2 treadmill and swimming sessions each week and I got my 1st road run for 6 months in.
1st Road Trip
The road run on Monday achieved a pathetic 3 x 1 min intervals separated by 2 min walks with 5 min warm up and cool down walks. After the achilles pain and heartache following my runs in April I was staying really safe. 0.5km actual run with 1.5km walk.
On a Roll(er)
Both this week's treadmill sessions included 10 min and 1.33 km of actual run which is the most I've risked since the injury. Yesterday's treadmill session moved up to 5 x 2 min run intervals from the previous 10 x 1 min.
Fitness wise no issues, though I was surprised to note how much more effort 2 minutes continuous was compared to 1 min even with the same overall distance and longer walk intervals.
I did suffer some achilles discomfort in the left leg a few hours afterwards but I iced it when I got home and this morning all seems well.
Hope to get another road run in tomorrow then I guess no sessions 'till after the holiday.
Enjoy the Christmas holiday and I hope 2013 is a great year for anyone who has taken time to read my ramblings.
