Running

I had fun ranting and hearing your rants, perhaps we can keep this going

Inspired by a podcast of the same name (running is BS) that loves to hate running. This week particularly hate running because..

What I thought was an ache turned out to be an injury.

Early Jan, pushed a bit hard on the tempo runs (4:50min/km pace), my comfortable pace is (5:45/km). Felt a niggle in my inner groin immediately, but wished it away (it didn't go away)

Continued training, limping on one side, telling my partner it was nothing when it obviously was.

Come early march, half marathon I was training for. Woke up, acknowledged maybe it was an injury, promised my partner I'd take it easy.

Broke my promise at gun start, pushed on for first 5km, another 5km, another 5km and the final 6km at target pace.

Made it with a PB!

In return, left knee is swollen, left back is aching like never before.

And fine, now I acknowledge it's a injury and am gonna rest with the running for a few weeks.

Running is not actually Bs. It's idiotic runners like me that make it BS
