have not been to training this few weeks... i'm suffering from plantar faciitis... heel pain... got to stop running for this month to let it recover... haiz! pretty sad... nowadays been cycling n swimming to keep my fitness... really missed the track training 1,3 and 5...
during this few days, i remember the recovery formula coach did tell me b4...
let me explain....
N is the amount of energy that every1 has....
so after every training, we will use up our energy and in the end our energy left with Y...
If we recover well, our energy will go up back to N and eventually improve above N which maybe landed like X because our fitness improved along during training... and the next time u start training, your energy level will start at X and after training, you will be left with N energy which will feel like before... this will just keep going up with the correct rest and training intensitiy...
but, if after training, we do not rest well and still carry on training... or training too high intensity like going too fast of what coach asked and having to used too much energy... our energy level will just keep going down like the down arrow... if we recover, we will only recover till back to N energy... in the end, the trainings will just be wasted... long period, you might suffer from injuries or break down...
End of formula
i'm telling everyone this cause i dont wish anyone to end up suffering injuries like me... yes! i suffered aches and muscle pains after my half ironman... i should had rested a week for a long race like this... but i decided to carrying on training because i wanted to go even further and faster (greedy)... i didnt consider my body's health a factor... which therefore ended up a injury cause i cannot run properly with aching legs... now i have to stop running for 1 month...
2 weeks had gone... i learned alot this period from my injury...
PATIENT...
i shall never rush for improvement... but also do well in training and let my body rest well...
really miss track training alot... :(
i guess i will have to start at a lower level training when i'm back to get my running fitness back on track... no rush... i still got long years of running ahead... :P
