How to get a Big Swede running fast! - Big Swede - 19-05-2009
Ok, first the off period. What RPM do you recomend for the "easy and totaly relaxed" seesions? Yesterday I did a 5,85k at AHR131 MHR140 and it felt relaxed.
I will probably have an internet connection for most of the time.
Cheers

stick to that pulse then
remember to try keep your weight below 90 to 91kg, so don't feast out too much
also remember, that you pick up problems when you run too slowly so watch your form if you run at a slower pace
foot placement and arms, keep everything inline and efficient if possible
Cheers and enjoy

ps.. seeing that you have an internet connection you can keep me informed and hopefully we can avoid you going through a tough time like before

Hi!
Now I have finished the off-period and moving on to build up.
The first two weeks I am home but the third Ỉ̫m on vacation in Portugal. Should I change anything around? Wont be able to do the 4k time trial until Ỉ̫m home again but hopefully I can complete most of the other sessions.
Cheers,
Big Swede

Hi Big Swede ..
you can always do 2 build-up cycles and do the 4 k time-trial after the 2 cycles
Hope the build up is successful and you come back stronger
TheEd
ps .. enjoy Portugal
:yes: :jive:

Hi Ed!
A little update of my running.
Been having problem with one of my calves on and off now for at least 3 months. Could not follow the buildup as planned so I went to a fysio to get help.
She gave me a trainingprogram to strengthen my strings and muscles on the calves and said that I could continue running, but only easy sessions until the calves started to feel better. This was two weeks ago and I havent felt any improvment yet. But I will have to have patience.
Now Ỉ̫m running 3-4 times per week, 30-40k, keeping the time around 50-55mins/session.
Hope that you are enjoying the summer and keeping up with your running.
:yes:
Cheers,
Big Swede

Hi there!
Hope eveything is ok with you!
My calfe didn̫̉t get any better so I decided to rest from running for the two first weeks in july. Instead I did sessions on my mountainbike and the at the gym.
After two weeks the stiffness and the pain when I walked was gone but the first time a ran I immidiately felt the calf again. Just as before but with the difference that I didn̫̉t feel almost any pain or stiffness between the sessions.
Then me and my wife decided to do something stupid/great!(?) We took a running holiday along the G̮̦ta Kanal. We ran 195 km in 5 days!!:jester:
That was really an experiance! A totally new dimension of runing.
But of course it didn̫̉t help my calf although the legs felt a lot better than I thought they would.
Now I really dont know what to do? Take another rest from running or continue with easy running and calfe exercises?
Cheers,
Big Swede

Hi Big Swede .. wow
sounds like quite a family experience
I would truly recommend you go see a 'decent' physiotherapist as this has now become a 'chronic' calf problem
You have to start somewhere

Hi!
Ỉ̫m booked at the physio. She will help me to construct a detailed trainingprogram to get rid off my calfeproblems! :-)
Ỉ̫m really frustrated right now! Longing back to the track and the intervalls. But I will get there.
