I indeed did that 15min tempo on track (had no choice due to logistcs), the only problem with this theory is that my ITB flared up before I did this tempo. And ITB felt great doing this tempo. <br />I occasionaly run intervals on track when logistics do not allow me to get to a park before dark, but I never do tempos there. And if I run on track I change direction.<br /><br />@Michelle: There is nothing stressful about moving to a cemetary town where you know noone, where you have been only once for a day before, looking for an appartment, car, pool to swim in...in two weeks!!! I trully do not feel stressed because I have everything under control and I have done it multiple times before but it probably still takes some toll on me. <br />I am going to make sure that I am not moving anywhere in weeks leading to Buffalo Springs Lake:)mmmonykahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09703551248084847150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006613066389314843.post-43801032652831733592012-09-11T13:27:52.647-04:002012-09-11T13:27:52.647-04:00How stressed are you? I've found that athletes...How stressed are you? I've found that athletes who are under more stress than normal (you are moving soon, no? That is more stressful than you think) tend to have injuries pop up "out of nowhere" and its typically the weakest place in their bodies where they are susceptible to injury where this occurs. IMO the way to fix this is to strengthen your weak spots and/or back off the training when you've got a ton going on b/c stress is sometimes unavoidable! Of course you do the best you can to not get stressed out but stress is very real and it has very real effects on our bodies. So just pay attention to that and make sure your biggest training/racing weeks come at times in your life when you're not a stressed out mess. ;)Michelle Simmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10301323188060167291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006613066389314843.post-40885740697896326272012-09-11T11:04:42.054-04:002012-09-11T11:04:42.054-04:00running on the track? your post about the 20 socce...running on the track? your post about the 20 soccer dudes gave me the impression you were running a 15 minute tempo on the track... you're not doing that are you???PiccolaPineConehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09520539255908849462noreply@blogger.com
