Nicely done on the recovery run. Sorry to hear about the old pain coming to haunt from the past, they happen every now and again. To that I can more than attest! The important things is you didn't let it affect your preparation! Great job!
I hope the kids are feeling better and with any luck you didn't pick up the virus too!
I wish I could keep my heart rate under 140 working out, but I have had issues since the COVID vaccine that have left me fighting my heart rate on a daily basis just trying to keep it down while resting. The highest I like to see it is around 140 while walking! But I am about twenty years ahead of you in the age scale and beat my body up in the military! lol
Great job! You'll rock that marathon!
Thanks my friend!
Yeah, I didn't expect that dip to occur yet but it did, still feeling like 40% of the intensity and that still hurts but so much more manageble than during the last week. Like you say I have this haunting me about every year/two years for the last 20 years.
(Working on a structural solution and a safety net to break that spiral earlier - so it will be alright!)
While my oldest is still sick, my wife and youngest seem to be all good again! For me the sickness seems to be a common cold. Which will be long gone at the race!
On the vaccine, I experienced something similar after my second shot aswell, it lasted until I actually got COVID and recovered from it. Strange stuff!
Does that higher heartrate translate for you into getting tired earlier? Or in simply burning more calories with lower intensity?
!PIZZA
No, it gave me a pulmonary embolism and since then I've never been the same. I wish I would have passed on that vaccine but couldn't due to my profession at the time, but it was life changing in a very bad way. My heart rate has been a problem since the embolism sadly and the more active I am the more of a problem it becomes...
That is crazy! Sorry to hear that man!
