Without any workout, I was feeling sleepy, tired and flu-ish. Is it when the psychological tension broke down (thought of no need for training), the body defense mechanism became vulnerable to any invasion. Saturday morning has no intention to wake up for run as well. The next two days taken complete rest, with no intention for any workout at all.įriday was down with flu, take off from work to just sleep.

If there's a bigger picture in this, I do hope it is. I know this imply another thing, that I have to put the planned event behind my head. When I barely put force to propel the steps, I reluctantly turn back. With stubbornness, I still headed out for run.

Wed run started with a painful at right knee joint. Completed it, with cost - the knee was painful on the next day. Thus, I tried to completed a 11 km recovery run, even though the condition were tough. If I able to do it, I'll give myself a "pass" for the planned race on July. Recently there was a news about a man juggles to complete a marathon at 2 h 55 min, "without a single drop" the headline added.Īfter completing 90+ mileage last week, I eagerly wish to resume the normal training intensity. Like walking the tightrope, I need to keep my core muscle (and heart and mind) strong to keep the balance between training, working and other aspects of life. Roughly 3 more weeks to go for the next run. Like a marathon, things will be getting easier stage by stage. There were almost weekly or biweekly travel to outstation on Oct and Nov, which make keeping up with training a challenge. The summary was done up to Oct as it started to get busy each week. Week 4 - 80 km (3rd m-pace run, done 2 days after 24 km run, brought forward to Fri for outstation trip on the weekend) Week 3 - 127 km (5th tempo, 1st 35 km long run) Week 2 - 88 km (4th tempo, skipped Sat recovery and Sun long run as tired of working and travelling) Week 4 - 126 km (3rd tempo, 2nd m-pace run) Week 1 - 98 km (failed attempt of m-pace run) Week 5 - 96 km (1st week of training cycle, 1st tempo) Week 2: 32 km (4 days rest after Tues interval. Week 3: 130 km (Last marathon race-pace run) Week 2: 107 km (Tune-up race - Cyberjaya Charity Run) Week with 2 event outside work, one of them involved 4 days in JB) 24 km med-long run, 11 km tempo, and 39 km long run) Now, I just hope can run on race day pain free. I'll keep my body active by having some lap in the swimming pool, with minimal jog during the week. While the prolonged rest started at the beginning of recovery week, I might console myself that I might have some training effect left on the race day. A tired leg will cause running posture to change, engaging different part of leg, thus causing strain on other area. I guess the cause is due to pushing too hard during interval workout on a tired leg. The pain and dullness this time didn't go away after few days of rest. Then, on the next week Tues 5 x 600 m interval, the pain set in again after the workout on the way back. The week after the rest later was fine with 6 x 1200 m interval, 24 km and 35 km run. Because of this, I took another 2 days off. The pain occur again toward the end of Sunday long run - also during the last stretch when leg was tired and wish to increase the effort. Then, I completed the second tune-up race during that weekend without issue. The twitch would occur if I tried to press the leg while going down the slope.

It was during running a small down slope in Botanical Garden. However, around end of November, toward the end of a routine medium long run I notice a small twitch behind the hip. With the weather become cooling, the running was done at a more comfortable pace.īeside, thanks to the ever increasing popularity of running, I had 3 tune-up races registered on the Saturday which fit to my schedule of a long run on Sunday.Įxcept the condition of Padang Polo was muddy due to rainy season, and the road condition (stray dogs) limitation, but these were things that out of control. The training had been going smooth and consistent except to skip run for the busy schedule.Īfter the first half year of recovery, I thought I was slowly going in a good shape.
