Not much training was possible unfortunately — the injury hasn’t gone anywhere. So the decision was made to give up not just running, but cycling too, and just fill the time with swimming, stretching, and strength training. You can still suffer with that, but it’s not really satisfying. Especially now that the weather is getting nicer …
The week looked like this:
- Monday: strength training and stretching
- Tuesday: stretching and swimming (20x200m, etc.)
- Wednesday: strength training and stretching
- Thursday: strength training and stretching
- Friday: stretching and swimming
- Saturday: rest day
- Sunday: strength training and swimming (30×100m, in blocks of 3 with progressions from easy to medium aerobic)
That still added up to 8 hours of training, combined with the hope that the “rest” will finally make the injury go away.
