Would love to see a “how many weeks does it take for fitness to return after injury “ as you get back to peak form or dare I say, peak stride . 4-6 weeks is my guess. Great stuff, as always
Man you're anything but a beginner in running - still! Two days ago I ran 8.2K with an avg. HR of 133 and it took me nearly 52 minutes. So you're good to go. ;)
When I say beginner it's more in the fact that I have to treat myself like a beginner building up my running again - more with respect to injury risk than paces.
Your paces for that heart rate are not as bad as you think, mate. With an 8-week build, 4-week peak, and 2-week taper, I'm pretty confident that you could run Melbourne or Sydney this year and go sub-3 hours. Or if you do choose to do a half marathon later in the year, a new PB is definitely a realistic goal. By the way, I'm glad that you're finally dropping merch. I'd love to support your channel by getting some.
Yeah I'm not too far away from fitness - it's more the muscular endurance that I'd need to build up so that I don't fall apart late in the race. I'll give myself until 10 weeks out from Melbourne to pull the trigger or not - otherwise I'll go all in on a half marathon! Thanks brother
I can completely relate. During my first marathon, at mile 25, and after about 2 weeks of my feet, hurting, my right foot finally had enough, and my middle metatarsal SNAPPED. I finished the race, but was in a boot for 8 weeks, and waited 9 before trying to run again. It felt so awkward at first, since my hip was jacked up from the boot, and My foot muscles had to remember how to work correctly. The funny thing is I came back the next year and ran my fastest marathon to date. In my experience the less running volume and increased volume in swimming or cycling helps with endurance fitness, but in order to get better at running you have to run...A LOT. Coming back from an injury is tough, and it can feel like you are a beginner again, but just like lifting - If you lifted a lot when you were younger and come back to it, your muscles have memory and after a few weeks they'll start to remember what you're doing and make significant fitness gains back quickly.
yeah I'd imagine that I'll end up the same. You can build that aerobic base elsewhere but you really need big running mileage. Need to build up my mechanics again Hopefully you get a big result this weekend brother!
Wasup man I’m deciding to take a month or maybe 2 months off from running I been having bad Achilles tendon pain when I run and it just getting worse and worse can’t run pass 6 miles now I used to run 10 11 miles without a problem I still had the tendon pain but it only hurts after my runs now it hurting during my runs did some research and it good to let it rest up to 6 weeks or 9 weeks
Hey mate - thanks for the comment Running is the most difficult movement for Achilles, followed by hopping, then calf raises. I’d build a big base of strength with calf raises, and drop the mileage for a month or so to get control of the tendon. A good benchmark is 20 single leg full range calf raises off a step. I wouldn’t fully rest as tendons tend to respond much better to appropriate loading in a pain free exertion level
@@PeakStride thank you man I appreciate it yes I was thinking maybe taking 3 weeks off and until den I do cross training like the bike in the gym for cardio and do more calves raises in the gym and just work on strengthening it

Hell yes, Keen - once I'm back up to decent mileage I'll rip a 5km and see where I'm at!
Peak form is way longer. It’ll take at least 4-6 weeks just to build your milage back let alone peak form.
@@PeakStride even if it’s how long to get back to the five miles at 135bpm down to 4:45 km too
yeah who knows, peak form for a 5km requires much less than peak form for a HM or Marathon

yeah, depends what 133HR means for him but a pace of 5:05 per km at low HR is not a begineer's pace, at all :D

#petitionforpeakstridetogetalactatemonitor
hahah alright I'll buy one now
What happened, how did you injure yourself?
yeah I did a 30km long run and my ankle blew up the next day. Never experienced anything like it. Had to have two months off.
Thanks for the massage gun bro little busy that's y watching video late😐
No worries mate!
