The race ... a difficult recovery!

Today I ran and it was now four months that I hadn't practiced a real sport !!!
So to be honest, I had the impression of being a person of 80 years who had smoked all his life. I had trouble breathing, my legs were shaking, and even with my athele I had knee pain.

Here is the session that I realized : 10 minutes pace race jogging, brisk walking 5 minutes , then 5 minutes of race before finishing with 10 minutes of walking.


30 minutes that seems sometimes take forever .....

Wednesday,I will run one more time, I realy hope that it will be better for me this time.

I imagine it'll take a few weeks before you're feeling decent running again.

You are absolutely right ....
As expected I was run yesterday, and although it isn't for a long time, there is progress !!! I ran twenty minutes and then walked five minutes. However, I continued the race during ten minutes and last ten to walk.
Finaly, I ran twice more than the first time. I 'm glad I managed, it is a personal achievement. Indeed, It's also due from my physiotherapist who posed me K- Tape ( to hold my knee during the race). It isn't beautifull but it helps me so much!!!

well done, keep going.

Thank you, it's very nice !



For the last topic whose I will speak about you in this forum, I have chosen to present ......Nordic walking !!!

Many people make fun of this sport. Yes, maybe you don't believe that Nordic Walking is a sport, but it's a real one. Walking is often considered as a joke and seems sometimes so slow. If you add the grotesque image that the walking sticks give... it's the icing on the cake!

I'm not ashamed of what I do, John if you don't think so, ask to the other persons of describe my outfit and my circus attitude!
So I thought: why not try Nordic walking?
This is one of the few sports which muscle all the body with a relatively homogeneous manner.

I took my courage in both hands, or rather, my walking sticks and I went with a group on the long walk that only lasted two hours and a half ....
Local residents were looking at us like we were monkeys in a tree in the countryside, something simply impossible.
Considering my physical condition, I simply followed the movement of the group. This sport has a place in my reeducation.
Don't be afraid from people who are watching you, go try it !!!

Did you do it in the snow or on the beach or on the road?

I practiced it on the road but I think on the snow we should be least stupid ...
