This week was 34 miles of running, an hour of arc-trainer/step mill, and 24 "miles" of pool-running -- training log is here.
I started running again on Tuesday after taking a short break. My gait was a bit clumsy for the first day or two and then improved. The sciatica was a slight issue for the first five minutes of the first few runs, and then resolved.
My hip also feels MUCH more stable, and I'm generating a lot more power from that leg. My balance is also much improved on that leg (which is generally my really bad leg for balance). If skipping Houston means that I end up with a lot more power in my stride, then it will have been well worth it.
I did an arc-trainer workout on Thursday just to get my heart-rate up some, and then started playing with gentle hills on the weekend. The next few weekends will likely be more of the same.
Monday: 9 "miles" pool-running and streaming yoga. Foam rolling in evening.
Tuesday: 5 miles very easy (10:27) and weights/core. Foam rolling in evening.
Wednesday: 7 miles very easy (10:14) and streaming yoga. Foam rolling in evening.
Thursday: 5 miles very easy (9:31), an arc-trainer workout of 6x4 minutes hard with 72 second recovery (with 10 minute cooldown on step-mill), and injury prevention work. Foam rolling in evening.
Friday: 9 "miles" pool-running and upper body weights/core. Foam rolling in evening.
Saturday: 7 miles, including 4 gentle Stafford Street hills (5% incline, slightly less than 400m, moderate effort). Followed with 2 "miles" pool-running and streaming pilates. Foam rolling in evening.
Sunday: 10 miles mostly aerobic (8:53) followed by 4 "miles" pool-running and lower body strengthwork. Foam rolling in evening.
