UPDATE, April 2, 2022: As it turned out, I was probably already suffering from COVID-19 during this workout, so that probably had a wee bit of an effect on my performance, too. See here.
Here it is three days since I ran the 5K on Monday, and it is still affecting my workout performance. I am clearly not the iron man I thought I was. The solution is, I suppose, to run more.
But in the meantime there is today and on the positive side, I was able to run at the regular speed without my legs calling me nasty names, as well as do my now-usual 5K instead of the previous workout’s mere 3K. The downside was just generally being slower, as I’m obviously still not fully recovered from Monday. I am tentatively planning on running a 5K at the river tomorrow, but we’ll see if that happens and how it goes. The weather looks like it might be soggy, and I’m not sure if I’m prepared to run and suffer both sore muscles and rainfall.
As of today, I completed the month of March with 33 workouts. Pretty good! Note that a few were just outdoor walks where I’m walking at my usual manly pace, so not exactly beefing up the legs or anything. Still, averaging more than one per day is something I’m not likely to replicate reguarly.
