alpenrose Sep 2017 7:50am, 13 Sep 2017 28,525 posts	Quote Pin alpenrose I remember when I was starting out kwala that I decided that as I improved it was because my body was finally getting the muscle memory. Doing your mini streak no doubt helped but definitely not a sustainable thing to do if you want to stay injury free.

kwala Sep 2017 9:22am, 13 Sep 2017 5,607 posts	Quote Pin kwala ar - I think you're right, and the streak and increased mileage were definitely a bit too much for me at this stage. I'm going back to my regular 3x a week now, with maybe a 4th thrown in now and then. I'm so happy to be doing any kind of running after writing myself off for so long, and I want to keep at it for as long as possible.

early bird Sep 2017 6:23am, 15 Sep 2017 11,861 posts	Quote Pin early bird Well done Kwala xx Thanks everyone 😀 Well I'm very sore. Didn't really have any issues on Monday morning after the marathon/party, so I thought it would be a good idea to still do my bootcamp class as it's upper body on Monday. Boy oh boy he's stepped it up a notch or two! I didn't know my arms/shoulders could take so much! Rested Tuesday as I really couldn't face anything. Wednesday is leg day.... I thought I'll go just get blood flowing through them again. Monday should've been a warning! Instead of the usual 35/40 mins we did 50 and it was all versions of squats and lunges. By the end of the class my legs were shaking so much I could barely stand! After the last exercise I went on the floor to my knees and crawled to the bench to help me up. My glutes are killing me. I ran last night with a friend doing couch to 5k and my ass was so sore! I'm on the late tonight and it's abs bootcamp if I can get there on time wibble I will attempt some more running at the weekend. I had planned a week off running to recover from the marathon but I think I might as well just get out there now lol

Not take on every challenge your boot camp instructor gives you! Crikey, the most I do the week after a marathon is maybe a walk or a gentle little run at the weekend! :-). Still, I guess it's a good sign that you feel up to doing all that excercise!
Nutso Lazytoad! Sep 2017 7:20am, 15 Sep 2017 1,669 posts	Quote Pin Nutso Lazytoad! EB naughty birdie!! But you have come this far eh Good luck with abs bootcamps sounds hideous I did 10k on the canal last night with a few friends not pretty unless pretty ugly counts! But its done my hamstring complained but its no more or less complainy today!! What is noticeable is the physio exercise where I have to stand on one leg and touch the floor is becoming noticeably less wobbly on my bad leg! But I think it makes my bag hamstring work very hard! No parkrun this week and no long run Sunday as my hubby is running a half marathon on Sunday. Normal service shall resume on Monday Oh btw I'm ahead of my annual mileage target
alpenrose Sep 2017 8:52am, 15 Sep 2017 28,622 posts	Quote Pin alpenrose Blimey eb, you don't do anything by half, do you! It must be doing you good, sounds like just what I need. (Not the marathon, obvs.) Nut, well done, do you have to do extra lungeing and flamingoing? These pesky weaknesses take forever to improve. I have one session left on my "kickstart" with the new PTs. I'll book it in for next week and probably find another one after that. I'm not feeling I'm getting much out of them but was recommended someone else last night so I'll try him out next month. I have a 5 mile race on Sunday so no parkrun for me again, I'll have to get my bike out instead.
