Only four days of absolutely no training, and back to something resembling actual training. Time to get the leg sorted out properly.

Damn - nearly 40min for 6k. No desire, and I was getting heartburn as well. Happy to just get out there.

2 x 3km (1min recovery) + 4x200

11:53.4 (3:58)
12:14.3 (4:05)

42.5, 41.9, 42.3, 43.4

Should have been doing this at tempo pace - around 4:15 for me at the moment I reckon. Instead it was pretty much 5k pace so I was in vomit territory at the end of the first interval. the 200s actually felt good surprisingly.

Bloody uncomfortable. Left leg felt like it wasn't functioning at all. Had to stop a few times to stretch hip flexors and calf to try get it working again. Also felt the lack of km's by the last 3k. Have a vague hope that I might be able to get down to Melbourne and do the marathon again in October, but not really sure. Won't be doing it on the back of 50k weeks. Still, had 4 night shifts this week and was able to get that amount done, so can't really complain.

Need to try and get 2 x 1hr runs + a 2hr run + 2 x 45min runs in a week at a bare minimum which would roughly be 60-70k a week depending on pace.

Much heavier legs today but forced myself up a few hills. Finished nights for another few weeks. Manage 3 runs out of 4 overnights - happy with that.

Decided at 6k that I may as well get my long run for the week down. Still don't have the endurance in the legs. Relatively hilly.

Quite tight through the post tib area again. Not sure if there's any great solution other than to run less and slower. Garmin lost the satellite in the last km or so which is strange.

5km Tempo + 4x200

http://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/542446078

5km Tempo: 20:46 (4:09min/km) KM 1,3,5 slightly uphill. Probably 4:20s on the up and 4:00s on the downside.

200s: 44.3, 43.7, 43.1, 42.6

I have no raw speed at all.

Did 1x10 kettlebell swings when I got home - easing back into strength... ( actually just lazy)

Calf pulled up pretty sore.

Had ART at Balance yesterday which seems to have helped a fair bit with the calf. Feeling relatively good. Still some discomfort around the knee. 

Got a replacement HRM which went a bit crazy uphill saying I had a 200+ HR. I don't really like the HRM, so probably wont use it often.

Hilly run into the million dollar suburb of Castle Cove. Spectacular views of Middle Harbour. Got a bit chilly, had to take the singlet off cos I was starting to get chafed. Longest run in months, legs were feeling it.

Seven consecutive days running for a weekly total of 65km. Its been nearly 4 months since I got injured.

Started with a 6:41 and finished with a 4:07. Felt pretty good. Feel good because I think this is the first time since starting at the hospital I've managed to run and work for a full week.

Trails and stairs slowed it right down. Leg is sore after yesterday. Ran on the Mosman parkrun course for a part of it.

Somehow ended up doing 4:15 pace for a bit without a huge amount of effort. Slowed down when some people coming from up ahead called out that there was a snake on the side of the trail. Was looking and looking and didn't see it until the last second. Big fella, scared me even though I knew I was going to see it. Had to slow down coming back but didn't see it again.

Flat, afternoon run by the lake. Third consecutive day of running, not feeling too bad. Hip tightness gone, tight soleus. Beautiful weather.
