My HR has been crazy erratic over the last few weeks. I'm willing to give some consideration to this condensation-cadence-HR-averaging hypothesis. I also have a half dozen other possible explanations.

Not yet. Last update was a week ago. I'll keep everyone informed.
Luckily we haven't been hit hard here. Yet. I think the next few weeks will determine a lot.

Being adjacent to the epicenter and feeling so close to it (3 out of 35 people on my team have tested positive), life here has shut down pretty hard. I only hope your area doesn't get what we have.
Keep us posted.
Also, my work is such that May is usually a slower time which is why the relay worked with my calendar. That seems to be rapidly changing so if the relay happens, I hope I'm able to get there for it!

Being in the same industry, albeit in a different line of work - this is playing a similarly major role in my indecisiveness about what to do whenever racing resumes. I am confident the lull I am accustomed to starting in October will happen, but between now and then?
I expect substantially more work than usual but what - and when? Your guess is as good as mine.

What team you on again?
Got notified yesterday that my Strava CR (½ mile on the nearest main road with a path) I had set a few years ago got taken by 1 second.
So I took it back today(as my 8th interval)

Maybe if there was a race weekend actually happening... Other than our shindig, where grue will dominate anyway.
now the guy I took it back from, who I don't know, wants to follow me on Strava.

Interesting run today. Wanted to do some 400s to get ready for the challenge and also verify that my foot could handle some fast running. It's weird in that my foot bounced around between a 0 and maybe a 3 on the pain scale with all of the 3s coming during slow running. Maybe something with my gait? At any rate, things went well all things considered, but I'm going to try to be smart about between now and the 5K trial.
I was worried about pacing the intervals because it was quite windy here today (20 with 30 gusts), so I found a slight incline that matched up pretty well with the wind. Apparently 21ft of elevation gain over 1/4 mile with a strong tailwind roughly equals 21 ft of elevation loss over 1/4 mile with a strong headwind. Who knew?
In other exciting news, apparently one the local colleges allows the public on their track in lanes 3-8. All of the high schools around me have theirs fenced off. I may be able to make use of this previously unknown availability for Team Juxt...

Are any of the legs of our relay 10K in length? Would love to kill two birds with one stone that weekend. If it happens. And if it doesn't, it would be a good weekend to replace the relay with this.

Can I suggest we either move the 10K to the weekend of 30May or make that weekend also eligible? That way I have a dual-incentive to run hard at the relay. To do well for the team as well to #BeatGrue! Also then I'm not beating myself up for two fast 10Ks two weeks apart.

Let's wait and see how things play out with the virus restrictions. They impressively switch-a-rood the entire race format last year in just a few days, so they might wait until early May to see where things stand. With other events/races scheduled for June and beyond already being cancelled, it'd be surprising if a May event occurred, but who can predict. So we shall wait and see.

ETA: How did I not see this until now? Dude's from Calgary and has a ton of Calgary runners in it, a few of which I know.

Run a mile and if don't have any pain run up to 3-4 miles total. If you have pain after a mile, stop and walk home.
gianmarco
Footballguy
That's what I just did. Started to feel it after one mile, though very mild. Got to 2 miles and it was starting to get worse. Called it quits.
That's after 7 full days of no running at all.

Crap, just saw that. I don't know what to say, that sucks. You did the right thing to shut it down.

Not yet, but that may be next. Going to reach out to an Ortho friend and see what he thinks.

Have you been doing a lot of stretching, self-massage, and exercises while you've been resting?
gianmarco
Footballguy
Hamstrings are as loose as ever. No sore spots in my calves or quads. I haven't been doing any other specific stretches other than daily hamstrings in the shower.
Overall, everything else feels as good as I can remember. Even now, I can't even find where it hurts. This is so frustrating.
Dr_Zaius

Good luck finding the root of the problem. It's always frustrating, and I'd imagine especially for you (from the little I've gleaned of your personality) to not be able to have a checklist of "do these X things and then it will get better". Remember, though, you've done a lot of work this year - it'll take a lot more than a week or two of not running to lose those gains.

You’ve prob watched all YouTubes but I think I mentioned one I get lots of relief from - knee smash shown here and also the last move he does against the wall which is similar to his ‘couch stretch’ that is another great one

Just talked to him. He believes it's tendinitis like I thought. He recommended
1) Shutting it down longer. 2-3 weeks more then slowly get back out there.
2) Hip strengthening exercises. @bushdocda clam shells and other Jane Fonda exercises.
Lovely. With everything going on, supposed to have already started training, best weather of the year, I can sit inside and watch everyone else run. And worst part that I otherwise feel great and can't even tell if it's better. Welp, see you guys in May, I suppose.

I still do ‘em. And side band walks.
Last link, sorry if annoying, voodoo compression flossing has also been a good one for me. This guy has the koolaid and I be drinkin’ it.

Walking Lunges
Box jumps
Russians
Leg lifts (with scissors and twists)
The side band walks our resident gyno mentioned
Find a steep incline and power walk that sumbich
And it's best doing that stuff outside anyway.

This will all be new as I've never done any leg strengthening exercises with the exception of PT following my ACL repair a few years ago.
But I'll give it a go.

besides, it's several weeks later. You can run hard mid May and be recovered for the end of the month too!

It was pretty amazing what a little PT did for me. Both the hammy and the hip. I was seriously having issues sleeping and such and just a few sessions had me back to normal like nothing had ever happened. Pretty cool voodoo magic he worked, IMO.gianmarco said:

If you want to donate a little money to a good cause and pin a bib on your shirt/shorts for your run tomorrow, iRunFar is doing an Operation Inspiration Virtual Race tomorrow, raising money for World Health Organization’s (WHO) COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund. Just signed up (there are multiple levels of "entry fee" from $20 on up to $250), so not sure all of the details but there is an iRunFar Strava group so it counts.
Well I’ve found our next FBG’s Team Running Competition event.
I can give you guys two, maybe three loops, max.

Race was supposed to be today, and it’s COLD. 30 degrees with a 10 mph north wind. Almost perfect. Would have been a great tailwind the back half of the race.
My plan today is to do 13.1 miles. It won’t be fast. There may be walking involved. It may include skipping or sashaying. But that’s the plan.
I’ve lost all motivation to run right now. With all that is happening around us, my head and heart is really heavy. Trying to be positive in front of the kids, but this whole thing is getting worrisome.
Have a good day gentlemen.

Stay positive, GB. We’re going to get through this, and we’ll all be better for it on the other side. You’re young, healthy, got a great family, and you’re a pretty cool dude.
