Been resting for the last couple of days as I've managed to injure a calf muscle - stairs especially have been hell!
What worries me is that there were no signs whilst training that I was overdoing it, nor immediately afterwards. I wasn't even feeling particularly fatigued during or after the particular exercise I think caused the injury. It wasn't until next day that it was obvious, and got worse for a couple of days.
Now, I accept that I can't train like I did when I was younger - improvements will take longer, and I probably can't even reach the same levels of fitness that we can in our younger days, but if an injury can be caused with no signs or signals warning you when it's time to stop, wtf do you do?! Worrying. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Did you continue to exercise before it felt completely healed? Maybe less strenuously? Do different exercise that didn't aggravate it? (everything seems to aggravate a calf muscle injury, lol). Rest completely? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I guess you mean plank?
I find the standard plank easy, I get bored before I quit usually, can't do some of the fancier varieties so easy.
Rather then keep paying gym fees, about 4 years back, I shelled out on an olympic bar and weights - thanks to G keep urging me not to buy non-olympic ones! Also, a squat rack. Cost about a years gym membership, but was money well spent. Picked up cheapo dip bars, and the odd free weights, etc, and I work out at home whenever I want.
So, after my 30 mile cycle ride this morning, I ran 6 miles this evening. Did lots of core last night, and where I'd been skipping stuff, caught up on my fitness app, by doing about 3 days worth. Bit sore now.
So, that's it. Rest up until the half marathon on Sunday, oh, except I have a days trail riding in the morning. |

I joined up to parkrun today, with the aim to do my first one in a couple of weeks when I can run a bit further.
I'm still doing C25K but had a couple of weeks away from it so restarted from scratch. I am just about to finish week 2 so would be fine to do it if I walked and ran it, I would prefer to run more than walk though! I am currently doing a little over 3k in the half hour session which is definitely progress for me ____________________ Theory test - 19/8/09, CBT - 11/10/09, MOD 1 - 16/8/10, MOD 2 - 27/10/10

Trained Friday. , our instructors have decided to put a bit more emphasis on fitness.
Only 20 minutes of core exercise, but it nearly bloody killed me.
Jeez! I am so unsupple and so unfit
Some pad work and combinations, then sparing.
First spar was with a younger lad, .... wisdom and experience with a tiny dose of meanness saw me through that ok
He was glad to fight someone with more experience who could show him the gaps in his approach.
Second spar was with one of the instructors,.....ow! Ow! Ow! , took a heavy side kick to the thigh .......kin ell! I can certainly feel it today that’s for sure.
Sparing with instructor reminded me of just how much further I need to go . ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

Mix it up a bit, but one or two rest days each week is norm for me.
To day i ran about 9miles, including warm up and warm down, and interval training in between, like c25k walk-run, but jog-sprint.
Cycled about 5 miles too, but that was just transport.
This Saturday, going to try for the first time to cycle to park run, and then do a 50miler straight after. |
