How to train - Raginglynx - 25-01-2012
The last month I've been building up to 1 hour runs everyday. In December I had a lot of colds and bad weather for many weeks, so my running bled. The average must have been around 30 km per week.
I think I now have been doing 1 hour runs every day for two weeks and it starts to feel good
The weather conditions are beginning to get harsh, the degrees goes down a bit under 0, but in many ways I enjoy it even better than a couple of degrees over
I am still a little troubled by the achilles. In fact it has never disappeared permanently. Every now and then i feel it. Not every day. Far from it. But it has gone a little worse the past two weeks. I think it's time soon to visit the ortho again.
Today's run
1:02 hour
11.46 km
5:25 min/km
151 in hr

have you ever checked to see how your running shoes affect the problems?
TheEd
ps.. made a comment on your blog

Since beginning of summer I've had 3-5 different types of shoes which I alternate, but it shows no difference. I've also tried to use the same pair of shoes for a couple of weeks, but that doesn't change anything neither.
It's so strange, because I can't see any swelling and no redness and most often I can't make myself feel the pain. It comes and goes as it wishes. Every step can be a lottery.
But when I run I never feel it. Only when I walk, and most often when I've been still for a while (driving car, sitting, sleeping) And not every day. It's all very strange. Only it gets a little, but just a little worse when I run more. But now when I'm at my most (70 km / week) I haven't felt it for some days.
Yesterday's values
The HR didn't kick in in the beginning. Might need new battery.

Are you doing any ankle alphabet exercises and light calf strengthening exercises?
the calf muscles are very much the shock absorbers of the body
the achilles injury is one of the most annoying injuries as it always seems to linger, what must also be noted that there could be a little scar tissue within the sheath that becomes inflamed on occasion
do ice after training as that may help

Time in between my posts is ridiculously long
The icing I've done a lot, but unfortunately it doesn't do any good.
I'm examining the achilles a lot and still there's no special redness, heat, swelling or scar tissue that is noticable from the outside.
I hope it will go away at least this year :S
In the end of May I will do the Gothenburg half-marathon, and I hope to get a good time this year. It will be the big thing regarding running this year since I will be home from work between may and september building a house. So how do you think I should lay up the training?
I have been doing the 1 hour easy now, with interuptions from time to time, but still most of the time 1 hour easy, 6 days a week. Hopefully thats a good build-up foundation
all the best,
Christian

you should find out whether there is scar tissue along the 'sheath'
this could be causing discomfort and ice may not be a solution
not sure what to recommend other than that or whether the shoes are maybe adding too the problem?
Cheers

ps.. always good to see you posting again

If it doesn't go away, I will see the specialist again. I've read some about the tendon sheath and how to notice when it's inflamed. When I searched my foot for the cracking sound related to that I couldn't find it.
How do you think I should train for the Gothenburg half Marathon around 20th May this year?
rgds,
Christian
ps. Nice to be posting again and hope that everythings well with you and the family

Hi C .. the best thing you can do is run every 2nd day at the moment building up to 1hr .. once you are up to 1hr every 2nd day then we can look at going towards the Build Up program
this unfortunately is your best option

I think we have misunderstood each other a little.
I have been running 1 hour every day now for 2 months
Only fridays off.
So around 65-70 km per week.
rgds,
Christian
