So, I haven't posted in a while. Since getting sick in the summer, I have changed my running a lot. I stopped my in between runs- so my regular, easy mileage runs. Then I stopped the workouts. Then I stopped running altogether. It was difficult for me. My heart was a mess. Might still be a mess. Who knows. It took me multiple days to recover from even basic runs, which is amazing, since I was putting in a lot of mileage and was very fit at the time. Then the soreness and tiredness was also there. The arrhythmias were the difficult part. I still feel it from time to time. What's odd is it is usually at the beginning of exercise, and then I suppose it just finds its groove.
When I started back up with running, I still could only handle about 3 runs a week, so I decided to make them count. I basically did two workouts a week on Tues/Thurs, then an easy long-ish run on Sundays with no speed. It was weird to stop running, but even more weird to cut out four days a week of running. I do not like not having the cosistency of running every day.
As for what is to come... of course, as runners we're all at bit of a crossroads. There are no good races, and the ones that do occur are pretty lame. We'll see.
