AND JUST CHILL
After two years of injury riddled running/jogging in a random manner with zero confidence in my legs, its time to take time off. No point running marathons and 10ks and such with my legs feeling like iron weights.
I went to LHH and for the first time ever, just stopped running mid-race. After a few miles of plodding along with less than 50% leg health, I said to myself, this is silly and walked off the course. No point in hurting one's self because the ego beckons you to keep going.
I think I will take up rowing or kayaking for a bit and let the legs just rebuild themselves.
I hope to come back at some point like the six million dollar man(show from the 80s)
take it easy you all and keep having fun.
Why kayak or row when you can learn to run on your hands? It builds upper body strength and coordination while giving your legs a rest.
ReplyDeleteMax - That sounds like the best advice you've ever given anybody...except this time it's yourself. REST and feel better.

I agree. Over the past year or so I've seen you morph from a young, spry long run champion to an old gimping fool.
ReplyDeleteMy advice would be no racing and certainly no marathons until you get back 100%.
Rest up and attack another day.
