When to listen and when not to?
It’s the balance that leads to the greatest gains.
Every person will have a different balance.
Here are a few of the key reasons to listen up and back down .
1) Sudden sharp pain – just stop.
You may have done some damage, don’t make it worse.
2) Rapid increase in muscle tightness
 When this is happening you have a high risk for a pull or tear.
 3) Mild to moderate pain that increases over time.
You could be in the process of developing chronic problem.
4) Increase in training and decrease in performance.
Good chance you are not getting adequate recovery.
Most training injuries are completely avoidable.
When any of these signals show up it is time to evaluate how to best take care of yourself and prevent injury before it happens.
As you get to know your body and improve in your mechanics you will be able to safely push closer to the edge.
For athletes competing  at a high level  the potential reward may warrant a higher level of risk. In many sports it is commonplace to be working with minor injuries. How the athlete deals with these injuries has a lot to do with his or her long term success.
On the other hand if you are focused on a career and raising a family and any competition(Open, hint, hint) you might do is for fun, personal challenge and community more than victory. . .then it is wise to play it more on the safe side.
When your body sends you a warning sign, let “Live to fight another day!” be your mantra.

I had an attack of an old habit.

(See comment under Registration on Auburn Triathlon 2/3 of the way down this page. Yeah, I am known for irrational bouts of jumping into things I am not prepared for.)

New Years Eve around 10:15 pm I decided to see if there was a running race on New Years Day. So, there I was at 8:30 the morning running a Half Marathon around Lake Chabot. I haven’t run for most of the last year due to injuring my knee in the parkour accident. I have done maybe 2 or three runs over a mile in that time and only in the last month have I been able to run a few days of intervals. Not exactly prepared:) As one would expect it got a little ugly.

After 3 miles my legs, already sore from a double CrossFit workout 2 days before, turned into overstuffed sausages and I knew I was going to pay for going out too fast. It was slower than I used to run but not slow enough. I eased back on the throttle settling into a very easy pace, just staying light and quick. I was feeling good and enjoying the run allowing myself to forget that I still would have to pay the price for my previous mistake.

Around mile 7 the piper came for payment. I felt the twinge in the hamstring. The cramping started. No problem, been here before, down shift again switch from running correctly(hamstrings) to shuffling (hips). Only 6 miles or so left to go. In need of electrolytes and energy to slow the cramping I hit the feed zone. At this point of break down the typical nutritional rules get thrown out the window. I searched for anything they had that was likely to help… GU and some nasty sports drink in hot pink (Is food coloring an electrolyte?), and part of a banana.

Pressing onward I managed to keep running, cramps threatening anytime I tested my ambitions against the snails pace. I find it somewhat enjoyable like a chess match with my cramping muscles. I move on, they try to stop me. I subtly shift my body position and alter my movement at the slightest hint of a twinge, outmaneuvering the cramp and gently keeping enough loading on the muscle to stop the spasm without the overload that could make it worse. I ran through it to the finish never stopping accept at the one feed station for about a minute to refuel.

My result?

2:18:15 118th overall 16th in my age group 10:29 per mile pace.

A bit more than a half hour slower than I expected, but one of my most enjoyable New Years mornings on record. There is something special about reaching limits and persevering, about the process of dealing with challenges. That process can be as rewarding as having the winners medal hanging around your neck.

Catch the Endurance WOD’s and join me for the Next One January 26th!

It left me with something to prove to myself and a new goal was born.
