Day 3: Running Intervals

10/3/2018

It feels funny talking about running intervals when my one mile pace is slow jog in compared to what I was capable of doing prior to having my total knee replacement. I am not complaining because I do feel better than I did before. Although I do have some swelling and some pain that I wish I didn't have at this point.

Today I was scheduled to do 6 x 20 seconds striders building to one mile pace. Looking at the data in TrainingPeaks it took the watch a while to catch up within the 20 seconds an my average pace is all over the place for the 20 seconds striders. Overall I felt good with some slight twinges in the knee. Although I felt this last night as well before I went to bed.

Happy Training Everyone.

Great work on your rehab. I am a bit ahead of you in months post, but I had both replaced on Jan 25,2018. It has been much harder than I expected. Would love to trade info and talk with someone else who has plans to race Ironman distance with TKE.

How is training coming? It is not easy. I am in less pain than before, it is just different pain. I did see a lady competing over the weekend that had knee surgery and couldn’t run. She was wearing a sign that said something about it but I wasn’t able to read it. I never saw her again

Are you still on track for IM Maryland? Best of luck!! I am going to give IM Louisville at try. Maryland was too close to 70.3 Worlds in Nice. That was one tough bike course

I am not. However the reason has nothing to do with the total knee replacement. I did do IM Eagleman and had a good race.

Good luck in Louisville. I have an athlete that is racing it.
