Re: nervous as heck

oh stress

instead of trying to bruk yuh pawts including yuh knee fi bring down pressah, why don't you try a <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-size: 14pt">yoga class and meditation</span></span> ?

also mi know yuh seh it may not be diet/salt related, but there is a lot of that crap hidden in the foods we sometimes eat, and it all just adds up.

Re: nervous as heck

It's not meant to be vigorous exercise, although it does help to stretch, tone and get you more flexible. Some types of yoga will make you sweat, it all depends on what you choose.

I suggested it as an option for you to better manage your stress through breathing and meditation.

It's all about how you handle yourself when you are faced with a stressful situation, you have to remember that some things are just beyond our control and that we just have to keep it moving.

So, my next race is on Saturday

picked up my race kit today for the Harry Rosen Spring Runoff for Prostate Cancer. Doing the 8K with married daughter - her first race of this nature. butterflies in tummy already starting for both of us.

this is the race i thought would be a nice transition from 5K to 10, and it was only after i signed up i heard the terrain was quite hilly!

so i've been hill training like mad, did a 116 step stair climb 10 times up and down on Monday evening. except di back a mi calf dem a hurt mi now and mi fraid dem nah go get better by Saturday.

doing a little light running tonight then total rest Thursday and Friday, and hope di calf dem seckle dung by Saturday.

Wish me and dawta luck!!

Re: So, my next race is on Saturday

you are using stair climber/stepper for your hill training?

are you running hills outside? or at least doing hill intervals... outside or on a treadmill?

for hill training, one of the better way to train is by doing intervals and include hills in your interval. doing 116 steps on stair climber 10 times will just cause you pain and stress on your calf and and really is not an effective way for hill run training.

Sandi, i did outdoor steps up a steep hillside in Toronto. i didnt feel the effects of it till the next day (Tuesday) till the evening, and i think it's because a) i didnt stretch properly after and b) i wore heels at work which i think compressed my calf muscles further.

i realize now that i probly did too much on Monday, at the bottom of the 7th repeat my legs were shaking a bit. i slowed down a bit but kept going (i'm not that fast in the first place).

anyway, mi stretch after my short run this evening, but probably could do a bit more. really hoping to feel improvement tomorrow.

i thought about icing, but since a di two calf i wasnt sure of the logistics i'm gonna gently stretch them some more tonight, then in the morning, and stick to flats - see how that works out for Saturday.
