Week of June 4 ~ 10
But I did jog 1km on Friday and 2 km on Sunday! With pain in the hamstring, though....
I guess it will be a while yet.

2011 Tokyo Marathon. Leaders at 6K. Stuck out my arm, pushed the iPhone camera button. Complete luck.

PBs: 5K: 15:58 (age 39) 10K: 33:32 (age 37; also 33:42 age 40) Half: 1:13:54 (age 41; also 1:21:45 age 59) Full: 2:44:48 (age 37)
I ran 4 full marathons between the ages of 35 and 37. Had absolutely no idea of proper marathon training or racing (this was a long time ago). Never heard of carbo loading. Did not know you are supposed to drink adequately during a marathon. As for taking in carbs during the race, it never entered my mind. So they were extreme torture the last 10k. Therefore stopped running them and did not start again until 2006...and they're still torture! But not quite as bad. From 3:21 I'm down to 3:08:17 and have won my age group in 3 marathons (Napa Valley, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles and was 2nd in LA 2011 and Tokyo 2012.
My goal for each of those was 3:04. That's still my goal, but a bigger goal is winning my age group at Boston 2013.
Calendar age: 65. Physical age: 45. Mental age: 25 (my wife would say 15).

Bloody hell! Hang in there Bob.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, enjoyed watching both the Women & Men's 10k trials. Tough conditions for the women though - looked like they were running in a monsoon.
I feel your grief. I have just spent a while in recovery and just as you fall victim I am injury free. However your words of caution are a great reminder that if we push too hard too often then an injury is likely to happen. Rest up.
