Running with altitude
By Paul | January 11, 2008
Having been away in the Himalayas for most of December walking at Altitude near Everest you would have thought that all of it would have been some use for when I got back here. Having lived meat free and an endless supply of Ra Ra Noodles I thought my body would have been fitter…. can you see where this is going?
Returning to work the first days cycle of 14 miles was a push over, apart from the very windy conditions and the lack of a rear mudguard for the wet roads it went well, the following day I cycled back in equally a good time without pushing myself that much. The other night I decided that I had to test the foot injury and do a run so opted for the treadmill without any support for the foot. In just over the hour I had done 10 km, a nice pace for me and felt fine. the altitude theory was it appeared working well…. one day later my legs feel like they have been kicked all over the place. However, not to be out done or demoralised I have a 18 miler planned for tomorrow with a 30 mile cycle later in the day, lets hope I can drive back home at the end of it..
