Endomondo Running Workout: "was out running 23.18 km in 2h:21m:11s using Endomondo."
I can't think of a solitary thing to say about this run. It was quite difficult, I'm still running off hockey injuries. Sadly, I think the stop/start/twist/dodge of hockey is beyond me. My legs are about twice as strong as they were two years ago when I started playing, and I'm about four times as fit, but the knees just can't see out a game or even a practice.
It's strange, running actually seems to get various things in the knee back in place after hockey has dislodged them but even so there's a fair bit of residual bruising. You'd think the pounding of the running on pavement would make it worse (and I'm sure that doing nothing would make it better faster), but over the course of a week's running my knees are significantly less sore than they were last Saturday after the game. Which is not to say that they aren't sore.
23 km is a good training distance and there were three of us this AM. The other two more active members were off running the Sydney half-marathon, so we may have five regulars pretty soon. Jo is planning to run the Gold Coast marathon in about 8 weeks (she ran the half in Canberra). I'm sticking to 16km & halves until the Sydney marathon in September. I'm going to run in the City-to-Surf as well; after all, it's quintessential Sydney.
