Roll8 pre run

NHP-Hefner with Blake (and landrunners); super muggy w/DP72; hazy; never encountered more gnats on south side of lake than today. Kept pace easy and hamstring didn't bother me too much, but still noticeable. Starbucks after.

OC a.m. speedwork on this 4th of July

1/2 mile repeats; after yesterday off right side little better but still noticeable.  After warming up and drill the 1st repeat was still conservative as trying to loosen up better for speed.  2-6 were much better including my 2nd fastest strava recorded half mile.  BE hit his fastest ever recorded.

Core; R's

Walked that evening with Dylan to OC pond and right side sore/stiff and hurt to sit in car seat; ugh.

Core; R's; ART including right hamstring/hip using roller; stretch band strengthening

OC w/Blake; not really feeling like hitting a workout today but did so; 2.5 tempo became a 2.0 = 1 min break + .5 = legs never had any pop in this heat and hard to breath (someone burning trash behind their house; smoke over OC due to east wind) (still high grass pollen) (high DP and heat) (stress from possible job move) (weight too much) (not recovered from fast work on Tuesday) (take your pick)

The second round of tempo I did complete the 2 continuous, but felt like quitting and it was a grind; still same problems as before; did take off shirt which slightly helped.  

Right hamstring still a problem; sometimes better but always present.

Lifted full body pre-run

 

OC solo after Church; mainly tried to stay on gravel and run easy effort; little less sore right hamstring/butt/lower back.  I am now doing the following to try and rehab: thick rubber band under chair leg with exercises along all 4 planes; 3 x 15 reps = definitely feel in hips and butt.  Also core drills, R's, leg swing on block; poas pose; ART.  Trying it all with hopes I can get this going back to normal.  Why the flare up?  Too many weeks pushing mileage up?  Running to many loops of hills (went up to 8 one day after leg weights)?  Lack of being consistent on drills when come home from running later due to hot/humid weather?  Running some hilly courses?  Bad Luck?  Did sleep better after all the exercises and no leg pain; better when getting up on Tuesday.

OC with Blake; ran 8 straights for striders then hit 4 x 1/2 mile (6:12 to 6:26); legs don't have much power; squats/lunges leaving them flat; also need to get back to lifting leg weights and then hopefully hills once completely healed up.  (This speed work didn't set me back any as next day actually felt less pain in butt/hamstring...although legs dead).  Also have to lose some lbs at some point.

OC morning with Court; felt dead = tired, no motivation, and doing squats/lunges has left my legs flat.  Let court hit hills while I ran 3/4 soccer loop and walked 1/4.  

Post-run leg weights

Pre-run: full body except legs

Got to OC and rain/lightning/high wind storm hit; had to sit and chat for 1-hr and then it was still 100% humidity and light rain and wet shoes run; since the tempo repeats was shot we opted for track and did 20 x straight aways.  Feeling better all the time = drills, band exercises, standing squats, lunges, backing off of speed-pace and miles.
