Disclaimer: By doing my workouts and blogging it online here, I’m not seeking attention, nor am I an exhibitionist. I’m the type that follow-through my training much better if I put it in writing. I workout because I can, and I love doing so. Do not try to emulate my training program, I bear no responsibility if you do so. I’m no role-model, not your papa, mama, your soulmate, or someone you can look-up to, nor am I’m a national athlete … I am just a NOBODY. So just leave me be. Hey there, if you’re following my training log closely, well you should know that I didn’t trained yesterday and missed an entry. Why? Well I reckon I had my first injury in a long time … Somehow due to the fatigue I had from previous week’s training which result in aches and shin strains, well while stretching on Monday, I somehow didn’t stretch correctly as I was too tired and just want to get the stretching part done and over with. Well with that I somehow pulled something.
Yes I mentioned something, it could be muscle, or ligament, I’m unsure. All I know is that after the stretching, my knee felt funny as I can’t really bend it that well. All I could do after that is damage control, I massaged it, did stretches and recovered as much as I could. Fast forward to Tuesday, I’m still unable to bend my knee properly. I could kneel down of course but it just doesn’t feel right. I felt as thought there’s an inflammation or some muscle/ligament separation at my knees, I couldn’t tell specifically. Furthermore Tuesday is speed workout, being an intense training, I made a decision to skip it and have a full day recovery. For people it’s hard for them to train, as for me it’s hard for me NOT to train. The mind is willing, but the body isn’t. Status
Workout of the Day
Well come Wednesday and the recovery did wonders to my shin aches, but my left knee is still giving me problem. I just couldn’t sit still anymore doing recovery, so I decided to train today. Wednesday is tempo, and the intensity isn’t that hard, so it should be alright for my knee to handle the load … well I was hoping so, and it did, but it seems my timings today was crap.
I’m not sure if it’s my knee, the hot weather, perhaps my improvement in speed takes a toll on my fitness, or just that I’m unfit, but I wasn’t able to maintain a sub 70 seconds timing as I planned. During the run itself, it just doesn’t feel ‘right’ as I ran set after set. I was hoping to do 10 sets, but reduced it to six after the last two runs was 80 seconds plus. If your timing is that bad, might as well stop. Oh well I know I could do better. I just need to get my left knee back into shape. Looks like more recovery is in store for me.
