Making Progress

Over the past month, my knee has been fine - no pain at all - and I've been working myself back into shape. I'm getting there, but not really in good shape yet.

Week of Mar 6~12
6 runs of 50-60 mins., 50km, Wednesday night 1000s were about 4:25.

Week of Mar 13~19
5 runs with one 80 mins., 44km, wed 6 1000s aver abt. 4:20
Good 8k tempo run with HS team on Monday - 5 hilly loops, had to work to stay with top girls the last 2.

Week of Mar 20~26
6 runs of 60,70,80 mins., 60km, wed 1000s in 4:20
Another Monday tempo run, as above.

Week of Mar 27~Apr 2
6 runs of abt 60 and one 80 min, 64km, 5k time trial on wed. in 21:46.
Happy enough with the time trial, since I had been doing 4:20 1000s but averaged the 5k in 4:21.
Then did a 17k run on Sunday at about 5:50/k (usual pace is over 6:00), with no soreness or ill effects.

Hoping to be in good enough shape to run the 10k race on the 29th in a time that won't be embarrassing.

  1. Nicely done Bob. Great to see you posting again after a kneedless injury. Couldn't resist ... sorry. And yes I'm still married! I'm further behind than you at this stage after a couple of setbacks. Back into it next week. Keep up the good work.

  2. Good to see you back Bob. Hope the training over the next few weeks doesn't bring shame on 29th ;-)

  3. Ah, Mark. Anyway, good to see you gradually getting yourself back into shape Bob. Hope the race goes well. I'll put the garden shed on a sub-43.
