Went to Holyrood for a parkrun this morning and ran a course PB. Hurray! Super-chuffed. I thought it was possible because I went back for the first time since January a few weeks back and I ran the 2nd fastest time I'd done on the course. That was very unexpected because I've not really been doing any speed training.
Here's what I think did it;
Zwift indoor biking sessions, one or two a week.
Strength training.
Eating more protein.
Trying the Feldenkrais approach to moving - doing what feels good and aiming for comfort.
Robert Heggie's book and audio-course "Running with the Whole Body" which again uses the Feldenkrais method to improve inner sensing and movement patterns rather than trying to adopt "good form" in an outside-in way.
Mobility exercises - I've been using a set put together by a company who do running coaching for older runners. I haven't signed up with them but they have free content that you can access if you give them your email. I think they're pretty good. Here's their website link.
This afternoon I have accidentally signed up for the Edinburgh Marathon next year and the Jedburgh Half. It's Aileen Ross's fault. She knows why.
That be all.
