January – April 2012

Running

IMG 0635

Running has been going well. Extremely well. I almost hate to admit that because it probably means I will injure myself at any moment. But hopefully not. I’ve been focusing a lot on my form as I try to transition to a forefoot strike pattern (rather than a heel-strike pattern). It’s hard to try to correct 18 years of bad form. Really hard. But I’m making progress. I ran farther in April 2012 than I did in any other month in the last 10 years, and I haven’t had a hint of knee pain. Of course, some of that has come at the expense of really sore calves on account of using different muscles that are much less well developed. I’ll take sore calves for a few hours over semi-permanent knee pain 10 times out of 10.

I found a great place to run barefoot: the glorious artificial turf on the WUSTL track infield (some people might call it a football field). Of the 146 miles I ran in April, 19 of them were completely barefoot, and some of those were pretty fast (5:32). The majority of the remaining miles were in my wonderful new Luna Sandals (yes, sandals), with the rest in my Vibram FiveFinger Bikilas, Merrell Trail Gloves, and New Balance MT 110s. I guess I have something of a shoe fetish (yet I still run barefoot). I just pick the thinnest shoes I can get away with based on the route I have in mind, and take them off whenever I can.

I’ve been a regular at the Tuesday night crits, though I did miss a couple. I’ve been lucky to get two training rides a week. Considering where I started at the beginning of this year I’ve already come a long way, but I still have a long way to go. Looking at my race results over the past year or so it’s pretty clear where my talent lies.

Single digit placings are better than double digit placings. If I want to achieve more success in cycling races I’m going to have to spend more time (which I don’t have) practicing. Or maybe blood doping.

Yes, the numbers are small. I just started late in the month. What’s promising, though, is just how quickly I was able to pick this back up after months off (and if you don’t count that week in September, years off).

Running

Trail run

I was able to recover from November’s setback, and I’ve been doing some pretty good running lately. All my long runs have been on trails, many of them with the SLUGs. The exciting news is that I registered for the Fuego Y Agua 50 km ultra-marathon on Ometepe Island in Nicaragua in February. It should be great fun, though extremely challenging. I’m not worried about the distance (31 miles!), I’ve run that kind of distance before (with less training). The two primary challenges will be the dry-season heat and the massive 4,000 ft ascent and descent of the volcano in the final 8 miles of the race.

I’m also back on the bike after my knee problems, though I didn’t do much training. What little time I had available for training I chose to run instead. I need to toughen up and get out on the bike in the cold more often.

Walking/Hiking

On a hike

I’ve still been walking a fair amount, but I’ve also started doing a bit more hiking. One of my primary rules for dealing with my on-and-off knee issues is not running on two consecutive days. So sometimes I go hiking on the off days as a substitute. Hiking will play an important role in the Fuego Y Agua race, as most of the volcano trail is far too steep to run up.

Running

Fitting how after I boasted how well my running was going in October that I started having problems in November. I wanted to do a long run and rather than take the time to drive 25-30 minutes to a proper trail I decided to run 18 miles in the city. On pavement. The knee pain began almost immediately after that run. I rested a week. The pain decreased. I ran again. The pain increased. I stopped running for three more weeks and things finally got better.

Elite Mens Mile

I ran pretty well in June, despite the daily 90˚F+ heat and ridiculous humidity of St. Louis. In previous months I had no problems running my morning 9-10 mile loop without drinking anything, but that’s simply no longer possible… I have to stop, usually multiple times, for water. Also, now that Will is spending fewer days at daycare, I’ve moved one of my three weekly runs to the evening after he’s gone to bed and the temperature has cooled (slightly). Mainly it’s the blazing sun that gets me.

Something smooth

After taking it easy on my recovering knee for a few weeks I started adding some intensity to my bike training. And when that went okay I started racing again after over a year off. I’ve done the tuesday night crits at Carondelet Park four times now, each week showing gradual improvement (25th, 23rd, 13th, 11th). Statistically speaking, it’s just a matter of time before I win one, right?

My first race scared the hell out of me. Every lap I lost 5-10 places rounding the fast 35mph downhill corner. The good news is that I was easily able to make up that deficit and more going back up the hill. After a few more races I’m now holding my position there while still moving up when I want. This past week I felt really strong on the last lap for the first time, I just hesitated a bit too long before making the final jump. I’ll judge it better next time.

Walking

Full charge

Slightly lower numbers here now that I’m not walking Will to and/or from daycare every day. I still try to get out and stretch my legs with low impact walking on a regular basis. Will loves to walk.

Running has been going well. I have 2-3 good training runs per week and I even finished the month off with my first race in half a year, the U City Memorial Day 5k.

More cycling equals less walking, but I’m still getting out and stretching my legs on most days.

Running

I had a minor setback involving a few weeks off from running after a foolish 14-miler with a lot of pain in the last two miles. Now I’m back at it and running pain free again.

Cycling

After nearly two months off the bike I can now ride again without knee pain. I ride Will to daycare a few times per week and we sometimes ride the tandem (Big Red) to the playground on the weekends.
