Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness...is what happens when you throw an hour of core and weights at a body that hasn't seen them in about a year. It feels like somebody has been trying to force open my lower ribs with one of these things.
Running seems to help it, as it does many injuries. My chronic achilles tendonitis is actually absent when I'm running more than 50-60 miles a week, but it is terrible after a week or two off. Nobby has suggested on coolrunning that this is due to increased blood flow. That is probably part of it, as well as the flexibility of muscles and connective tissue that increases with training. Sometimes rest and recovery is not the answer, but it can be hard to pinpoint when this is the case.
Today's workout was another 4x(200m - 200m - 400m) with full recovery.
Run:
58 deg. 15mph winds out of south
8 miles total with 4x(200m - 200m - 400m)
1:10 total
33.3 - 34.5 - 72 - 34 - 35.4 - 71.9 - 35.5 - 35.9 - 72.6 - 35.2 - 34.1 - 69.2
The wind was a factor on the finishing stretch of the 400's, but not a big one. I'm happy with this workout, seeing as I'm still recovering from the weight session on Sunday.
