Nursing the niggles
5km | recovery
Week 11 of 13
Still got a mild case of the DOMS and small niggle in both the calf and my old friend the quad. Consequently, I have been hobbling around since my weekend longrun and had planned to spin only last night. After some deep stretching of the hips, quad and calves I felt OK and decided to go for a light run.
Now think slow. No, slower. No, even slower than that. Yes that's how fast I ran last night through Bondi Junction and beyond. At one stage going through the mall near Westfields an old lady holding a walking frame shimmied past me effortlessly at pace.
Thankfully the niggles and residual DOMS subsided by about the 4km mark and I was able to finish feeling fresh and almost human.

Slow is good...
I've been known to be passed by 3 legged turtles ;-)
Hope the niggles clear up soon Gronk.
Good practise for the 'up bit' on Sunday!
Don't kow about your place but we have speed cameras for some of those old ladies with walking frames around here.
Old ladies can get up some speed;-)
