2011 Tokyo Marathon. Leaders at 6K. Stuck out my arm, pushed the iPhone camera button. Complete luck. October 26, 2014. Managed an Easy 10K. Week of Oct. 20 26. So I jogged a bit on Thursday, 6k on Friday, a bit on Saturday and then did 10k on today at the Namban Rengo 10K, Half and barbecue. Did it in 50:03, so 5:00 per k, which is better than a jog but certainly not a quick pace. It was a bit sore, but didn't get worse, so that was good. At any rate I was actively recovering today, I hope. Anyway, rest...

Did 5 runs, taking an extra day off Thursday, in addition to Saturday. 10k on Monday, 5k out @5:11/k, 5k in @4:32. I'm not in shape, so 4:32 is a good pace at this point.

2011 Tokyo Marathon. Leaders at 6K. Stuck out my arm, pushed the iPhone camera button. Complete luck. March 23, 2015. Back to Running.Slowly. Hamstring Exercises. Week of March 16 22. Hello I'm happy to say that I ran every day this week. 3k, then 3.5k, then a whole 4k! Just 1k at a time, then a walk break. Slowly, slowly.meaning slow pace and slowly working my way back. No pain in the hamstring or anywhere. But I'll be very cautious for a month. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Serious runner since age 34...

2011 Tokyo Marathon. Leaders at 6K. Stuck out my arm, pushed the iPhone camera button. Complete luck. January 27, 2015. Week of Jan. 19 25. Managed 40k last week, in 5 runs. Easy pace, but was able to pick things up a bit on the Sunday 10k. Nothing seems to be hurting, so.so far, so good. Weight is about 61kg, 3-4 over what it was in the fall, so I will work on that. I expect to be shocked by how slow Wednesday's 5,000m time trial will be. January 18, 2015. Legs Seem to be Ok. 16-25 - Remained sore.

2011 Tokyo Marathon. Leaders at 6K. Stuck out my arm, pushed the iPhone camera button. Complete luck. February 2, 2015. Another addition to my now comical list of injuries — I managed a week of actual running and then tried the 5,000m time trial last Wednesday. Ran 3k in about 4:15/4:30/4:25 and 200m later my hamstring started to pull. Not the previous injury, just because I hadn't tried to run that "fast" in about 10 weeks. I didn't think it was fast, but apparently my hamstring did. IN THE LONG RUN.

2011 Tokyo Marathon. Leaders at 6K. Stuck out my arm, pushed the iPhone camera button. Complete luck. July 28, 2014. Finally, an 80K Week! Week of July 21 27. 804km / 50 mi. It's been a long time since I had an 80km week. Too embarrassing to tell you how long, but it's only the third time this year! The various niggles and sorenesses have kept my mileage down - basically all due to trying to do too much, too soon after races. I used to be able to recover quickly from races but just can't anymore. Quads a...

2011 Tokyo Marathon. Leaders at 6K. Stuck out my arm, pushed the iPhone camera button. Complete luck. May 12, 2015. Ran the Sendai Half Marathon on Sunday - short story, 1:49, managed not to re-injure the hamstring. Sendai is 90 minutes from Tokyo by almost-non-stop bullet train, up near where the earthquake/tsunami was. It's a very nice city, with wide streets and lots of greenery. May 12, 2015 at 5:29 PM. Glad you survived Bob. Sounds like a good race. Did Kawauchi win? Perhaps a tempo run for him.
