Saturday long run today but tough going getting back into regular training plan and strength work after Japan holiday.
Strength conditioning has dropped off with three weeks out of gym. Needed to back off weight by around 10% in the strength training sessions this week. But the dreaded Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness from Friday morning gym session made this morning's long run hard work.
Glutes were pretty tender in warm up but felt OK once I got moving, running at a comfortable pace. But with any stop on the run, traffic lights or drink stop, things quickly felt tight and sore.
Warm down stretching, following 15km run, was slow going and tough, with soreness in glutes, hamstrings and quads. Spent a bit of time foam rolling to try to ease soreness but been stiff and sore all day. A good night sleep should help!
Wholemeal pancakes with fruit and yogurt for brunch now part of the Saturday morning long run ritual!!
