I spent most of the week wobbling around like a novice giraffe but I felt I’d recovered enough by saturday to give running another go.
I took it extra easy, barely breaking a sweat and the good news is that it didn’t shred my quads. I went out again this morning and upped the pace a little to 6 sets of 1 min run/1 min walk. Not much I know but at this rate I should be at least able to start the beginners schedule next week.
So it seems my problem was DOMS – delayed onset muscle soreness and I’ve managed it by, stretching after the run and then taking a cold shower directed on my thighs.
