Speedwork, no knee brace, hooray!! After school I got changed and went out to practice, today was the first day of speedwork for the distance girls. We were not timing the workout, there was no set time to get, so there was no pressure on them for this workout. The planned workout wasn't long, we did 4x600 meters. The first 400 meters were easy pace, and then the last 200 meters were hard pace. All the distance girls have done intervals before, so they know what "hard pace" means. I was able to do the workout with them (granted it was only 200 meters of speedwork at a time, but it was something). After the workout I walked home, and took Zoeken for a walk. I was going to run after she calmed down a little (takes about a mile of walking for her to calm down). I went to start running and realized my knee kind of hurt, that's when I realized I was not wearing my knee brace. I had done my entire workout without even thinking about my knee brace, I just went and ran! It was such a good feeling to know that! Recovery is slow, but it is happening. I will probably try to get 2 more good workouts in this week, and the rest of the week will just be easy running. |
