Hope they can fix you
Theyāre trying. Quite a lot of massage today. Quite painful! Just have to do keep doing the exercises.
Says knows a few runners struggle post covid with running

Whatās your resting and max HR?
Resting is 43 BPM, Max is 190 BPM
I always run my easy runs based on RPE, just look at stats after. Sometimes a Z1 run feels like a grind, other days, like today, it feels great
Thatās a decent difference, my resting is 38 and max 175
Based on LTHR of 159 my Z1 is 104 - 126. Most of my easy runs are in Z2
54km at faster than planned IM pace, kind of got carried away at the start, wondered how sustainable it was, not very would be the answer for the full distance!
My LTHR is 171
Been a stressful day with presentation prep, team stuff and recruitment panels.
Have running gear but head isnāt there. Calf feels tight and I still have tons of notes to write.
Went for a 3km walk earlier. Havenāt run since Saturday but hard to think what Iām gaining from forcing myself out?
A mental break?
Yes could be. I think my head is tense and Iām thinking that running might tighten something I donāt want tightened before Saturday.
I think a very light tomorrow night when the van is at the first site might be better. Iāll be more relaxed then.
Just a 30 minute spin class before work.
Summer is certainly on its way!
Managed to jump in the river for 1.9k, easy plod but almost enjoyed it and it wasnāt that cold.
Followed it up by a badly paced 5K where Iād planned on building by 10 seconds per K to around 5K, and not the last 2Kās at 5K pace
frightening to think it wasnāt far off my 70.3 pace a couple of years ago!
Head out for a run. Despite being a beautiful evening wasnāt really feeling it, but luckily was absolutely fine once I got going.
Planned to do 3 x 2km off, on. But was feeling quite settled towards the end of my first interval so thought Iād carry on to 6km. Then figured 7 would be better, third of a half mara and all that. Was feeling dialled in and comfy so decided to carry on to 10.
Felt pretty comfortable the whole way, and my cool down kms back home were clipping along nicely as well.
Super glad I went out now. ![]()
So, just a comfortable run at 1:25āish pace then, and that included w\up & C\D

But that heart-rate trajectory
, by the time youāre at 21km youāll be on 210bpm
.
Bet he canāt do that when he gets back to T2 and someoneās took his trainers for a bike ride ![]()
About Z3 for him!
Swimming Iām absolutely fine, but definitely struggled running - have had to stop if the effort goes up. Feels like Iām just not getting oxygenated or something if that makes sense
