Beautiful weather, in the 70ºs and sunny, south wind. First track workout in almost 8 weeks since a slight reinjury on 2/15. I started today with short straight intervals, a moderate 'safe' speed.
Results and impressions: Tolerated it well. Man, I'm out of shape. This is going to take a while. It was great to put the Clifton 1s on again.
Hoka trainers on
stretches, drills, bands, massage gun, 50m high knees, 100m stride
6 x 100m w/ 30 sec rest, avg 16.7
2 x 100m - 14.8, 13.9
I rested and pushed the last 2 a little, still remaining cautious. Felt fine. The tempo 100s were really hard in my present shape. I was doing 10X w/30 sec in Feb. Only the last one really felt good, tall and strong, like a sprint. I'm thinking I may even go out on Tues again if I feel no soreness. So far so good. Testing it afterward with RDLs and bands, I feel the injury only very very slightly. No real pain or while running. Still, I need to be patient.
Yesterday, it was much colder, I biked up the mountain in 24 min. Friday night, I weighed an astonishing 149.5 lbs. So, yesterday, I ate very little and only ate after workout this Sunday evening. I'm definitely overweight about 4-5 lbs.
143.9 lbs after workout, almost 6 lbs less than I was 40 hrs ago. As I get lighter, stronger, the workouts will be more meaningful. Still tolerating the usual foot pain, but not any worse than it has been. Did a little less aggressive rehab last few days to allow for maximum healing before running.
Definitely overweight. Even a little bit of fat shows up in training tights.
