Hi everyone,
Well back to the Parkrun here in Mackay again this morning, typical weather for this time of the year, at 7 am temperature was already 26 degrees and humidity 82%. A real sauna out there.
Only the 3rd Parkrun back from injury, but showing a little progress. This week I was determined to maintain some pace but run without inserting any walk breaks and managed it. It is hard coming back at this time of the year. Managed to pull back a little time from my last outing 24:57 back to 24:15 so I was reasonably happy with that. And no calf pain.
I’m hoping if I have a good week training and the weather is ok I might get back under the right side of 24 minutes as I am definitely feeling a little stronger than I was a month ago when I had that calf blowout just before my 66th birthday. Not great timing 😒.
Doing plenty of strength and conditioning work, building the mileage slowly and the mind is definitely in a better place so I'm fairly confident the coming weeks will show an improvement.
Will keep you posted
Cheers,
Michael
