Another terrible run, hot and with my heart rate out of control. I cut it off early in frustrated disgust. I am not myself & I can’t explain it.

My stress and sleep issues have mostly resolved and that two weeks without running shouldn’t have affected my fitness as much as it has.

And while I may not understand it, it’s clear to see. I went through the stages of grief on the walk back & am mostly landed on acceptance. Will now run slower & target zone 2, rebuilding my vanished base. #Running

Wish me luck - first parkrun in months ( hopefully) - after being injured.

Yesterday’s COVID shot hit me like a freight train. I’m pretty useless today. ☹️

So I did 4k run/walk/run in the sunshine, being before 7am on a Sunday town was super quiet, which was lovely. Hard to believe with these blue skies, but rain is supposed to be here within the next three hours. After running outdoors I actually feel mentally/emotionally good for the first time in two weeks #running

Friday: 121 seconds of plank, 11 minutes of yoga for runners, 31 minutes of Strength training, followed by 6.6 km of #running (0°C), picked up groceries, and walked home.

I tried dialingmy running back this week, and I think I have to try and take next week off completely and possibly book an appointment with my doctor to see what she thinks is going on.

Monday: 160 seconds of plank, 11 minutes of #AppleFitness Yoga for runners, 21 minutes of strength training, and 10 minutes of core training, followed by 5.2 km of #running (-4°C with a windchill of -8°C), picked up groceries, and walked home.

Nice and cool run, at least. I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

1) Bordeleau Park, turning green with the gravel path going into the distance with tall trees. 2) Tall willow tree with Rideau River behind it. 3) Gravel path through threes leading to the stairs at the north end of Strathcona Park

Thursday: 142 seconds of plank, 20 minutes of #AppleFitness HIIT, 11 minutes of runner’s yoga, followed by 10.4 km of #running (4°C, “light” rain, and a 22km/hr wind), picked up groceries, and walked home.

This is possibly my least preferred conditions to run in: cold, windy rain (although cloudless +30°C would be a close second).

Contemplating taking a week off running to give it a break and see if that helps. Cycling's easier on the knee. 🤔 Why can't this be easier?

1) Rideau Falls, seen from the west side, flowing heavily. 2) Gravel path on the east side of the Governor Generals, with a large decorative fence, with trees, and a wet road on the right. 4) Large tree on the shore of the Rideau River

Ooooh 5.6km run/walk, one song on, one song recovery throughout. Managed it all comfortably right up until the very last minute, which was a sprint which defeated me! 51’ 30” exercise to start the day right 😁 #running #fitness

I had a good evening at the jazz last night, I just lied a lot when people asked me how I was. And I slept OK but I feel sick with anxiety this morning for NO REASON. My supervisors are being supportive so I don’t need to worry about PhD stuff. I don’t need to do anything I don’t want to today. Yet still I can’t swallow. I’ll go for a run once my grocery delivery has been, that might help #running #anxiety

Just been out in the sunshine for a 30 min/3.5km walk/power walk/jog/run intervals thing. I managed to jog continuously for 10 minutes which is the longest I have been at any sort of pace for months. Getting back to #fitness is so much work! Thoroughly enjoyed myself though #running

#running
An enforced break from running, calf muscles are uncooperative.
How do runners cope with not being able to run ? (Badly, I guess).

Plenty of stress around at the moment which running would really help.
I've never taken my physical fitness for granted but the next few weeks are going to be frustrating.
Enjoy your running !

x5:
1️⃣ Band-assisted pull-up x7
2️⃣ Band-assisted dips x12
3️⃣ Elevated single-calf raise @ 5kg x8/side
4️⃣ Loaded beast, front step, front kick & back x3/side
5️⃣ Push-up x3
6️⃣ Side-to-side plank x12/side

I have to keep it easy on the lower body this week because I'm #running my first 10k race on Sunday.
So no high impact exercises. I think I will skip circuit training on Thursday and do 2 hours of juggling instead of 1.

Thursday: 141 seconds of plank, 7.1 km of #running (-14°C with a windchill of -24°C, w/h gusts to 38km/hr),picked up groceries, and walked home.

Cut my run short as the 4km loop I was planning on taking largely looked like smooth ice, so I went over the Adawe crossing into Strathcona Park, and did groceries.

Pop tarts were on sale, and we're going up to Algonquin park in less than two weeks… something to look forward to.

Good to see London setting the pace with equal prize money. An important move forwards on many levels - not just for the elite athletes.
Pressure on for Berlin, NYC, Tokyo, Paris etc

Friday: 200 seconds of plank, 13 minutes of kettle bells, followed by 6.2 km of #running (0°C with a windchill of °-5C).

Firstly, woot! Hit my plank target; figured it was Friday and I should go for it. Sore though.

Opted for a shorter run today to try and save some energy for the long day ahead.

Most of you might like #running in sunny 74°F/23°C weather, but in late January?!? It's an abomination and I hate it before I've even left the house.
