Just wanted to say hi all! Looks like everyone has been kicking some butt. Took a little bit of hiatus in December due to some cold/flu/bronchitis.
I’ve been following~ish the OS WO’s and am making some strides with my consistency. I’m running close to everyday (20/week) and adding a little speed when the building OS fatigue allows. I should be back at it hard within a week or two.
Week 2 was an opportunity to test my JOS hack. Best news is that I was able to run 2mi @ TRP yesterday and today without pain or negative consequences. I bumped up my swimming to make up for the reduced run time, even including a solid 3K straight swim. Five bike rides, including 30 and 40 min interval sessions, and the Zwift Fondo this morning including 2 x 20’ @ 210w (IF .95). Week 3 Plan: Level 3 Bike as written and Level 1 Run as 4 x 2mi Runs, with 150min swimming. Hoping to hold the swimming at that level while slooowly increasing my running to previous RDP consistent 15mi/week by the end of OS.
It's only the end of Week 2 and I am already moving my running to the pool. Not sure what I did but boy is it painful. It hurt last Sunday and became increasingly more painful. I rode Tuesday and that really seemed to help. The more I rode, the better it was. It was a bit tender so I moved my Wednesday run to after work. Only got 4 miles in and my leg/knee was throbbing. I can barely put weight on it. I did a pool run Friday and yesterday and am going back to the pool later for today's "run." Appointment with Ortho is set for tomorrow. Hope it's not too serious. ..feeling frustrated
Well, I had planned a bike workout today, but the Sun was shining again. I took a walk with my wife and then thought February is generally a very dark month here. So, the bike ride was out and the run was in. I did the same loop as yesterday and just tried to run steady. Kudos to @Alicia Chase for the inspiration to run outside. Take these days when you can.
Ok, not gonna lie... ouch!!!! My run day was meh and flat. The legs did not want to move and never loosened up. I had a feeling this was gonna happen so I decided to run to a new place and then subway home after.
I could tell I was not doing well on the run cause my stride was off and my feet were dragging a little later on the run.
Long run today. 13.4 never really felt great, just ok. Weather was decent. A little more than 30 for the week. Feeling good overall. Need to keep working.

Decent run outdoors today. Started off slow and sluggish, loosened up after 2 miles or so. Great break from the treadmill
