It has taken almost four days for my legs to recover from my leg work out last Thursday. The steady cycle on the Wattbike yesterday, I think, aided my recovery. An hour or so after I had finished I could feel a big reduction in the soreness that was still lingering. My glutes were the last to recover.
I sat on the bike for an hour and watched an episode of The Office (American version) and then half an hour or so of the film Sleepers, a gritty, dark film set in New York in the late 60s and 80s. It’s a great film but, with some great actors in it, but it isn’t a happy film.
Anyway back to the training. I planned on doing something today, I wasn’t sure what, but all I managed was some weighted, bent knee, calf raises to help strengthen my soleus. My legs felt tired. Maybe because they genuinely were, or maybe because I was just tired from getting up in the middle of the night to see Laura off. She left for a week in New York at 2AM. I don’t think I got back to sleep until about 3 and then I was up again at 7.
Early to bed tonight. I’m going to do an all round upper body work out at lunchtime tomorrow and in the evening I am going to run/walk 5km. Hopefully my calves will behave themselves. Wish me luck.
