I haven’t yet full recovered to my full health prior to the denggi attack.
However, since the Borneo Marathon for 2010 has now been moved from October to May, i don’t have much choice but to start training and run through the pain.
I must admit though that the knee pain has subsided somewhat. Compared to when i tried to get back into the groove in January, the knee pain is not as bad. In January, i hardly could move the knee when i ran, but now it is more like a throbbing pain….i am not putting on the KM’s as yet..
This time however, thanks to previous experience, i am changing my training somewhat. I run faster now and also cross train twice a week at least. Last year, while training for the Singapore marathon, i had other problems such as lower back pain and shoulder pains.
These aches and pains can be attributed to a lack of training for my CORE and my upper body…that is why this time around, i am training my body all around…core, shoulders, legs, stamina, strength, speed…
My gym work focuses on the legs and lower back and stomach exercises…
Let’s see how this training works out…
