Running in Recovery in 2024-2026

I started using this app called Pliability and it has helped me a lot with my aches. I was still having symptoms of plantar fasciitis and having hip /It band pain. I’ve been using the new app for about 2 months now and both problems have gone away. I try to do at least a routine a night. They are 15-20 minutes so I just do them after work.

Did more weights today (sans squats) than running. Took it easy on the tread but it felt like i was close to pushing it.

Todays a perfect day for a walk

Freaking A this was a magnificent run! I love running in the dark, early on sunday when there is no traffic and the birds are chirping. They did some new pavement and it was so soft!! Add that to the things I love lol
5K sunday :white_check_mark:

I’m thinking about signing up for an endurance race. They have 8 hour time frame but I think I would sign up for the 4 since it’s my first time. Basically you just run a 2 mile loop as many times as possible in the 4 hours.

This felt good. My pt recovery jog this morning. I did better at pacing as im being mindful not to overdue it and hit a setback with my knee. Able to run longer keeping a slower pace. Felt strong.

Patience young runner. Patience.

They have an 8 hour option too :joy: but with this being the first event I’ve done like this I didn’t want to be too ambitious. They have an aid station at the start of the loop so I think people can stop and snack between loops so it wouldn’t be 4 hours straight.

:joy: I’ve always said I’ll never do a marathon… 26 miles is just so long. I feel like I’d need weeks to recover from that.
I figure with slow pacing I’ll be doing maybe 4 miles an hour so I might/maybe get 16 miles done in 4 hours. We shall see. It’s not until November so I have some prep time.
I signed up for that half today so that’s officially happening next month :partying_face:

Cool, as you know, I love Halfs!

However, I got suckered into a full marathon at the end of the month. A friend of mine’s wife broke her arm. She offered to transfer her bib to me. What choice did I have? Ha! I’m a little nervous, it’s been a long time.

Last night’s practice jog. It was hard to slow my pace on this trail as speed was always my goal. So too fast and got a low execution score. Felt good. Last 2 run intervals i didnt have tunes as my headphones died…did better than expected.Taking the day off today and hoping pt clears me for my 1st timed 10k sunday.

Your pace isn’t slow. Girl, you are running in the 7 and 8 minute mile area. If you get much faster you will be as fast as olympians. They run 5-6 min miles.

I’ve been going without music a lot since my race without headphones. I kind of like it.

I hope you get cleared and get to run your race sunday

I haven’t posted for a while, as stamina has been stuck in a slump for a while, and I was getting frustrated. Managed to run for 3 songs straight today, which is over 10 mins in my head, so super happy about that. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes::flexed_biceps::tada:
