#sufferscore

Recovery is as important as the race, and, while age is no barrier to activity, #recovery takes longer as we age - especially if you are managing a medical condition as I am. After Sunday's Stay Puft trail race, many runners were remarking it was the hottest they'd done. I certainly experienced some heat stress as my #strava #sufferscore attested; 42% in Zone 4 and a high max HR - I've never scored 'Epic' before! My #garmin agreed, with an 'overreaching' training effect; okay as an occasional strategy to kick in adaptations but I need to tread carefully with my #ibd and associated #inflammation and fatigue. 😴 . Of course Monday was flat-chat at work, I was on my feet all day, stretching went by the wayside, and the constant resistance training demonstrations with new clients added up to a solid workout! 😂 Happily the husband cooked dinner because I couldn't stand up for another minute. 🍖 . I resisted the temptation to run the Zamia Trail today to see if it felt easy, opting to walk the keen little dog, and splash in the pool afterwards. 💦🐶💦 #musing #fitover50 #run #runner #running #trailrace #temperancetrail #motivation #striving #alwayssmiling #goals #gutsy #beatIBD #healthyliving #exerciseismedicine #alcoholfree #winning

#runningforpancakes bright and early on a Sunday morning with the fun-loving Saturday GLU Crew! Five of us fronted up for the WAMC 5km Pancake Run. My goal was to not walk until the turnaround and then only to give my knees a short break on the downhill (I much prefer running uphill). I managed a second-best time and the glowing colour of my post-race face reflects my #strava #sufferscore haha. 😅🏃🌹 #goalmet #fun #running #striving #race

In case anyone wants to know how much you lose being off a bike for 7.5 weeks, here it is. Same ride before and after the concussion. My suffer score was almost 100 points higher and I was riding slower. I have a lot of catching up to do. #cycling #cyclinglife #exercise #concussionssuck #sufferscore @shawneetrailcc #ilovestcc @stravacycling

Clearly battered my double session on the #wattbike - With a 15 minute much needed blast on the treadmill to loosen the legs off.. I'm going to feel it in the morning for sure... #triathlon #sufferscore #epic #anaerobicthreshold #anaerobicexercise #exercise #anerobic #trainhard #triathlete #tritraining #trainingday #triathlonlife #triathlontraining #swimbikerun #swimbikerunrepeat #motivation #focus #dedication #workhard #nevergiveup #dontbeshit #suckitupprincess

Worked hard for that #5k #PB today. 87% of #run today in zone 4 or 5. Got in 1 second under 22 mins so really pleased with that. #running #strava #sufferscore (at Regent's Park)
