Day 3: Running Intervals

10/3/2018

4 Comments

 
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.

A big shout out to David Boyer. Since starting my work with David, I have improved in all areas. I thought running two races in two days this weekend would be a challenge. David gave me a plan (which I tried to follow) and I actually felt stronger on day two on a longer more difficult course. But for some goggle/contact lens issues during the swim, I might have gotten on the podium. Still have a lot of work to do before IM Florida but this weekend has given me a boost in confidence. Thanks Coach!

...my coach David Boyer who is not only a Great coach, but a Godly person who texts me scriptures of encouragement at 4:30 in the morning before the race because he knows I've been up stressing about the swim! Thanks to you all I forever grateful!!!

Love Tri_More_Fitness coaching!!! just got an unexpected race day report breaking down the good, the not so good and the just plain ugly (ah, it wasn't that bad) LOVE getting great, solid, very detailed and constructive feedback. Totally looking forward to continuing to grow in the sport...so much room for growth and progress. My only problem is I want that progress like right now, immediately.
