Let's train!

[SomeGirl]

Hello!

In the morning I went on a 30min run, starting the Runner Prime program. I'm not used to running, so I needed to make a few very short stops on the way. It was daylight already but the moon was still shining, a pretty silver orb in the morning sky. I chose to head to the northwest alongside fields and forest roads. I looked at the map earlier and there are lots of very long roads/farm trails everywhere in that direction, which is perfect, I can try and aim to run a little bit farther next time. Plus, nobody ever seems to go there, so running there is peaceful.

I was quite exhausted after the run, and was glad it was over. I was also happy that I went and completed the run as planned!

After I recovered, I did some stretches and then 1min of deadbugs, and the training was over for the day.

Or so I thought. Later I decided that I'll also try the Back & Core program So I did day 1 in the evening.


Breakfast: eggs, broccoli, red pepper
Lunch: brown rice with mixed vegetables
Dinner: greek yoghurt, oats, honey
Snacks: almonds, half a pear, apple

Summary
30min run (Runner Prime day 1)
40 bridges, 80 flutter kicks, 80 side leg raises, 40 opposite arm/leg raises (Back & Core day 1)
1min deadbugs (Misc)

During yesterday's run, I had a little accident with my right foot - I stepped on it at a weird angle because I wasn't looking where I was stepping and I slipped on one of the bigger rocks on the forest road (I didn't fall completely though). It hurt for a while but then it stopped and it seemed to be okay overall, so I completed the run. But today it started to hurt when walking and as the day progressed it got worse (weirdly, I can do calf raises etc. just fine, it's just when I walk). So I'm not sure I'll be able to go running tomorrow. I think I'll have to give it a little rest for now.

Food: 3 whole grain buns with ham & cheese, 2 sweet pasties, 2 bananas, baked potatoes with chicken steak, ice cream, walnuts, 3 eggs.
(Travel day, so no structure whatsoever )

Summary
70 each: side lunges, calf raises, squats, side-to-side lunges (Runner Prime day 18)
40 each: plank hold side crunches, elbow plank leg raises, side elbow plank rotations, side bridges (Back & Core day 19)
1min deadbugs

 

[SomeGirl]

So, my foot still hurts a bit, and I'm afraid that trying to run so soon could make things worse again, so I've decided I'll do the program again from the beginning in the spring.
My original plan was to run now in the autumn before it starts to snow, and then focus on strength training during winter. I need plan B! I'm eyeing Fireheart, it doesn't have high knees and such (I like them, but my foot...). And it still looks like there is a lot of cardio. I've had good results with combat training in the past, and if I do it before breakfast... Sounds like a good replacement to me. I'll also finish Back&Core, but I'll start from the beginning. I'll try to make it without breaks this time. Okay, so that's plan B!

I also have to say, on my last run (day 17 into Runner Prime), I felt like my stamina was much better than on day 1, like it literally got an upgrade. If I had a stamina bar, it would be significantly longer. That felt awesome and I can't wait to get into the program again next year. If only I looked more carefully where I was stepping.
