My right knee is still tight, but I am determined to get it back to 100% again. I have really been hammering the stretching and rolling it out. Oddly enough, it feels worse when I don’t move it. When I get into a power walk, I feel great. Same with a run. So I am still hanging in with the C25K plan.
I went today during lunch and started a running activity. This is what my watch thought about that:
What strikes me as odd is that this only pops up when I start a running activity. The intensity, HRZ, calories, and total time are far less than most of the other activities, so I am not sure why running is the one that triggers this. Either way, I don’t need that type of negativity in my life, so…
The more that I log runs, the more I am expecting to see a drop in the “race predictor” data. Right now, when I am running, it is only for a minute to a minute and a half, so I am able to go a little faster. I am not intentionally running hard. I want to hold something back so I don’t burn out too quickly, but I do feel that I am able to go at a faster pace than I used to a while back.
Shocked to see that 5K number sitting at 26:56. I would probably pass out if I could actually run it at that. I am going to keep tracking that to see how it changes. It isn’t until week 3 of the program that I get into runs longer than a minute and a half. As I start to dip my toes into the longer durations, I fully expect to see that 5K predicted time increase closer to 30 minutes. There is a part of me, however, that is extra hype to see that number as low as it is.
