HR training and purposeful training

Hi tri:

Training is going really well. I did a 1/2 marathon a few weeks ago and am
back into full tri training. I got a little sciatica and am having to take
a few days off for that but will back in a couple of days like new, I hope.
Thanks for asking!

I started reading the "Lore Of Running" which is probably more than what I
wanted but it appears to include what I wanted to learn - fuel burning,
metabolism, the reasoning behind cetain training reginmens,...

Thanks.

Hi Paul, I haven't heard of the book "Lore of Running", thanks for the info.

I had a bit of a problem since we last talked, but I am finally healed
now. It took a lot of time away. I believe it came from working out with
cold muscles and stretching while cold.

How did your half marathon go?

1/2 marathon went fine - I finished which was my goal, my average pace was
something like 10:36. The main difference was I had been training on flat
trails and this course was ANYTHING but flat - lots of hills. Which I was
not used to. I was not used running downhill and may have jammed my back
for which I am seeing a physical therapist today. I am going to tell her I
am willing to do anything that will keep me in training. I REALLY do not
want to lay off and have to start all over again - I get so discouraged when
that has happened in tha past. Since I am training for two triathlons this
summer, it would bascially force me to cancel at least the first one if I
have to stop running for a while.

Sorry for complaining, I know injuries are sometimes just part of the deal
and they never come at a convenient time. Hopefully, I will be able to
continue and have learned a lesson - whatever that lesson is.

Thanks for asking.

I am here for you, I am happy to be able to share experiences with you.
I understand your feeling, as I had to cancel my triathlon last week.

I feel that things are better now, I did see a massage therapist and I
did my own work on it (with the stick), and mental visualizations, as
well as a few physiotherapist sessions.

Have you tired EFT Emotional Freedom Techniques? They might help you out
as well, knowing that you have trained for something and actually
deserve to tri. :D

Good news, went to prhysical therapist and I start back training today.
