Week ?? of ?? (Training plan will start the week after my Half on September 12th)
We are 121 days from the starting line for Dopey 2022!
I have not posted in two weeks. It has been a challenging August and I am giving it my all to keep moving forward. I have incorporated foam rolling into my daily routine to work out the shin-splints. It is painful, but I am noticing an improvement.
Week of August 23-29:
At a minimum, I am trying to keep moving to not lose all my running fitness, but it has been difficult to do so.
At this point I am assuming I have some sort of lung infection going on. I am going to give it one more week to heal itself before I start bugging the medical profession.
Next Sunday's Half marathon may end up being a 13.1 mile walk. We shall see.
I hope everyone's running is going well. Stay safe and healthy out there!

Week of August 23-29:
Monday - off
Tuesday - 5.02 miles for 0:51:04 @ 10:10 min/mi.
Wednesday - 1.03 miles for 10:19 @ 10:01 min/mi. Shin Splints acted up and I stopped. Went home an spent 60 minutes on the elliptical.
I went out an purchased a firm foam roller. Started rolling out my shin splints on Wednesday night. I have continued to roll out my calf muscles everyday since. It appears to be working well for my shin splints.
Thursday - 3.15 miles for 0:30:06 @ 9:33 min/mi.
Friday - off
Saturday - 10.61 miles for 1:54:50 @ 10:49 min/mi.
Sunday - 3.02 miles for 0:46:15 @ 15:19 min/mi.
Something is not right. I got 0.25 miles into the run and I felt like I could not take in enough oxygen. My chest felt tight and I could not keep going. I walked for 30 seconds and started up again. I got another 0.15 miles and had to walk again. I attempted to run again when I got the 1 mile mark and only lasted 0.15 miles. I attempted again about a minute later and made 0.1 miles. I walked until mile 2 and attempted to run again. The same results as mile one. Looking at the HR data, my HR never got above 150 before I started walking. During my long run on Saturday, it was up in the 155 range for most of the run.
Week of Aug30-Sep05:Monday - off
Tuesday - 1.37 miles for 0:18:17 @ 13:21. I got 0.68 miles into the run @ 10:00 min/mi. pace before I had to walk. Again, out of breadth. HR increased up to 158 when I started to walk. HR settles down within about 2 minutes or 0.1 miles of walking, but still have the tightness in the chest until the run is complete.
Wednesday - off
Thursday - 1.40 miles for 0:19:18 @ 13:46. I got 0.5 miles into the run @ 9:15 min/mi. pace before I had to walk again. Again, out of breadth. HR increased up to 150 when I started to walk. HR settles down within about 2 minutes or 0.1 miles of walking, but still have the tightness in the chest until the run is complete.
Friday - 1.39 miles for 0:19:21 @ 13:53. I got 0.5 miles into the run @ 9:30 min/mi. pace before I had to walk again. Again, out of breadth. HR increased up to 151 when I started to walk. HR settles down within about 2 minutes or 0.1 miles of walking, but still have the tightness in the chest until the run is complete.
Saturday - Walking - 5.61 miles in 1:32:48 @ 16:33. Avg HR 110.
Sunday - Walking - 5.99 miles in 1:37:18 @ 16:15. Avg HR 106.
At a minimum, I am trying to keep moving to not lose all my running fitness, but it has been difficult to do so.
