2011 Training Log – Week 19
This week was all about letting the damage from Saturday’s race settle while still trying to maintain a small level of activity. The leg is feeling ragged, but has been improving. I was really happy with a small jog this morning on the treadmill. Real running is a long way off, but I felt like I am getting back to a level where I can at least have a little bit of mobility to work with.
Hoping for some steady progress this week. Focusing on what I can do, rather than what I can’t. I’ll plan on getting out on the bike quite a bit if the weather allows.
Pretty slim numbers, but far better than zero.
MONDAY | |||||||
Activity | Walk | Miles | 2.5 | Time | :40 | Avg HR | |
Spent some time on an easy walk at lunch. My lower leg is super swollen, but the discoloration is gone. The walk was bearable as long as I avoided certain movements. Uphills were pretty bad, though. The swelling is acting like a cast, I’m sure it will feel worse once it goes down. | |||||||
TUESDAY | |||||||
Activity | Walk | Miles | 4 | Time | 1:00 | Avg HR | |
Actually swung my arms a little on this one. Hilly route, couldn’t quite get under the 15min/mi mark I was shooting for. Leg was uncomfortable, but not extremely painful. Doing what I can… | |||||||

Similar route as Tuesday, but a mile longer and 1min/mile faster pace (13:58). The leg is coming along. | |||||||
Activity | Walk | Miles | 2 | Time | :40 | Avg HR | |
Did some exploring up on the hogsback with the dog. Found a potential bouldering spot that might be promising. Tried about 90 seconds of jogging. Didn’t feel very good. | |||||||
SATURDAY | |||||||
Activity | – | Miles | Time | Avg HR | |||
OFFVery gimpy today. | |||||||
SUNDAY | |||||||
Activity | Bike | Miles | 9 | Time | :30 | Avg HR | |
Spin on the bike trainer. Leg felt good once warmed up. | |||||||
Activity | Run/Walk | Miles | 2 | Time | :32 | Avg HR | |
Treadmill. Hiked 3mph at 15% for a mile, then jogged a 12 minute mile with no incline. The leg responded well to the long bike warmup, and I was happy to jog a little without significant pain. I don’t care if all I can do is 12 minute miles for the next month, it felt incredibly good to just jog along like that. Here’s hoping for some continued progress. | |||||||
Total Time – 5:20, Foot – 17.7 / 4:50, Bike – 9 / :30 | |||||||
