12/02/07 - Running (!)

Yes, you read correctly, back to running tonight.

Did a club hill session. Now, I wouldn't normally recommend anyone who has not been running for a while should do a hill session as their first run back, but I was keen and felt that I had enough miles in my legs to warrant a go.

Luckily it went well. I took it easy to start with and then tried some maximum effort. My HR Max seems to have risen to 193 which is good (previous was 186 when tested). The legs didn't seem to understand running to start with but they soon got with the programme.

Session as follows:

15 min warm up
3 x 5min hill reps with recovery runs
15 warm down

5 miles total in just under 50 minutes.

I also had my back looked at today. Nothing major, I've just been overdoing it in the pool recently (no??!!) and need to work on my form in the pool.
