Tried Jeffing today

[Scout37]

It was hot. But I prefer that to cold!

Anyway. Not a lot to report today, gave Jeffing a go having read a bit about it. It was...interesting. I think I'll do it every now and then, I'm exploring lots of ways to run at the moment. I wouldn't only want to do it, I kind of missed hitting an easy rhythm running, but on the other hand I ran faster in the run intervals. So for now I'll keep mixing it up!

I don't really have ambition to run fast or far, I just want to keep running and be as fit and healthy as I can be so I guess anything goes as long as I'm doing it!

Happy running all...

That sounds like it might be an energy drink or an arrestable offence. 😀

🤣🤣🤣

Effing Jeffing !

Yeah, it does a bit. Still haven't met Jeff though, so I didn't have any hanky panky...😁

What ratio did you use?

[Scout37 Graduate in reply to nowster]

30:30.

[nowster Graduate in reply to Scout37]

So 30s run, 30s walk and repeat for 30mins? (30:30:30)

When I'm back on my feet I must try that one day.

[Scout37 Graduate in reply to nowster]

Yep, exactly that.

Came in at a few seconds slower than my normal 30 minute runs, so the running sections must have been faster.

How are you doing anyway?

[nowster Graduate in reply to Scout37]

I did a tiny bit of walking yesterday (see post). Iced/heated yesterday evening, which made things feel worse for a bit.

This morning no problems going up or down stairs.

I can still feel things aren't right with the ligaments, the range of movement is still limited (eg. doing the calf stretches is awkward), but the limp's gone.

Resting it today, but doing the prescribed exercises.

I plan to do a little bit of a walk tomorrow in addition to the usual Tuesday evening supermarket visit, rest it on Wednesday.

The next physio appointment is Thursday evening, and I expect she'll be pressing/massaging on the tendons/ligaments again, which will break up any scar tissue but will probably set things back a day or two.

I'll defer to the physio's judgement, but I doubt I'll be doing any running before Sunday at the very earliest. ☹️

[nowster Graduate in reply to Scout37]

PS. The physio suggested running intervals when starting up again. I'll mention Jeffing to her.

I didn’t know what Jeffing was, so had to look it up! Well done for trying different things! Whatever you do, you still have to get up that hill 😘👏👏👏👍

[Scout37 Graduate]

Ha indeed. But sometimes I drive up...😉

[Couchphoenix Graduate]

I thought you meant effing and jeffing, when I read your title, I thought I’ve had a few runs like that, especially when the app malfunctioned 😂
