The million dollar question - why can't I stay injury free? I do what I'm suppose to - slowly increase the km, stretch after workouts, cross train. So why is it that after every longish run, something new hurts? Last week it took 3 days for my groin to stop hurting. Now its my hip. I really don't understand how people train for ironman or a marathon. Its not so much the swimming and biking - for me its the running. Anything over 10km seems to start getting me into trouble. I'm going to attempt to see someone this week and try active release therapy - I've heard its REALLY painful but helps. We will see.........
On a positive note - with the exception of the pain I feel after longer runs, I otherwise feel great. The swims and bikes are going great. Yesterday was exacty one month till race day! I may just not run more then 10km at a given time till race day and I think I'll be ok. Its not ideal but if it keeps me injury free, then thats all that matters!
Sunday May 6 - 1 hour 20 min run outside
Mon - TRX class
Tues - 2000 m swim
Wed - off
Thurs - 45 min speed run outside
Fri - swim 2800m and 1 hour computrain ride at night
Sat - 1 hour mountain bike
How long is the run in the race? Maybe also consider trying IMS - pretty painful but I've found it to be super effective. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThe run is 13 km...........what is IMS? I did active release this week and it helped alot!
