How I did it: I did sets of 500m in the pool. Some open ocean swimming helps with the endurance. Lots of work on improving my form. Watched videos on you tube. Total Immersion helped too. Read how I did it…
After a good month of training I was able to break 20 minutes in a race. I ran 19:25 at the Harvet Hustle 5k, finishing 9th place overall. I was still holding back a bit, I’m afraid of tearing a tendon again. I think I am getting close to being back in shape. No injuries for over 2 months and I am able to get consistent workouts in, about 25 miles per week. Next race is in January. Hopefully I can break 19.
I finished the Boo run, main street lakewood ranch. The race went well. No problems, no injurys. I hope I am back on track. I ran a PR 20:35 and finished in the 12th spot. No way I can complain about that with only getting 10 runs in 2 months due to injuries. I am doing calf raises and stretching twice a day and it seems to be helping. Now its time to ramp it up, Harvest Hustle is in three weeks and I want to beak 20 mins and get a top 10 finish.
Oh man, I was cruising in my first 5k in about 20 years. I felt great. I hit the first mile split at 6:40. Picked it up a bit and put in a 13 flat for the second mile. I was still felling great. Probably wasnt going to break 19, but I felt great. Then it happened. My left calf popped, literally popped! I was out. I got some help back to the star/finish and my wife and kids carried me back to the car and took me home. I was so depressed. 4 weeks of ice, rest and advil now I am able to put pressure on it and do some short jogs. It will probably be another month or two before I can run on it. Im not giving up, this is just a temporary delay.
