It looks as though I might be better off than I thought.<BR/><BR/>I think it was part bad luck and part my own stupidity (in the timing, not necessarily trying to air one out - I need to do that eventually)<BR/><BR/>Ewen - you've logged about 4200km/year the past 2-years. I'll bet your aerobic base and blood/oxygen transport systems are in great shape. (especially since you've been running for so long)<BR/><BR/>My guess is a good 3-4 months of two weekly faster sessions (long intervals and speed work) along w/ some racing and/or a solid tempo run would drop your short distance times like a rock!<BR/><BR/>Nolan Shaheed is one of the Masters legends. Guys like Peter Magill, Tony Young, John Hinton, Sal Allah, and Jim Sorensen are some of the others that set those mind blowing times for their age.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06747591179607121086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385658443328594719.post-82734893722529350822009-01-22T12:21:00.000-08:002009-01-22T12:21:00.000-08:00That's a bummer Mike after all the good progress i...That's a bummer Mike after all the good progress in training.

I hope it's nothing more than a mild strain and a few rest and easy jogging days is all you need to recover.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your advice on introducing those other aspects into my training. It's something I intend to do. The times that top masters' runners achieve are inspiring and I know they train hard...<BR/><BR/>Just received Jan/Feb Running Times down here - Nolan Shaheed - 10 miles @ 6.40-50 and 20 x 400 in 70-75!Ewenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093209634556111656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385658443328594719.post-48890248450487725052009-01-20T15:27:00.000-08:002009-01-20T15:27:00.000-08:00that's tough luck.

Why do injuries always seem to appear just before a race!!! rest and recover to run another day - it's early in the season and there are plenty other races.briceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06537061506035169437noreply@blogger.com
