Great to hear the recovery has got to the point where you can consider getting back in the gym Susan - amazing. Don't push it too hard...but deffo give it a go - in moderation its got to help speed stuff up.
Largely back on target for me this last few days.
9/9 Dumbbells and 30mins varipace for 7575m
11/9 8x500r3:30. A while back I managed 7 in the low 1:40.x and a faster last for a 1:39.9 avg. Ever since when this session comes up I go for all 8 at 1:39.9 and I've not yet made it. Tonight managed 6 @ 1:39.8/9/8/8/9/9 but was hurting badly so then 1:44.9 and 1:42.7 to finish for a 1:40.8 avg...I'll try again next time!
13/9 Dumbbells and 6k@20 in 23:45.5 (.1 too fast!)
14/9 Inspired by Rod I had a go at the 4mins for the IRL tonight. Last year I managed 1197m and spotted a gap in the record books to claim the BR for a few weeks. Quite rightly Richard S let it be known that he had set the bar considerably higher a few years back and my tenure of the pedestal was somewhat short lived! My best ever in my early 50s was a 1220 and nowadays my aspiration is to get back to 1200. I'm still not quite there, but managed to eek out one more meter this year for an 1198 so I have to be happy with that. In fact I was quite tired today so I may give it another go if I get the chance on a day I'm feeling fresher, just to see if I can find another half second. I'll have to give it time to forget the pain first though!
