That's awesome you'r...Hey 5 Miles to Empty!<br />That's awesome you're moving to NC!What part?<br />As for the soreness...well, when you have an intense workout like that you're going to get the DOMS effect 24 to 78hrs afterwards. Sounds like yours is lasting a little longer. Probably best not to do an intense lower body workout while you're still sore. During that time you can do some upper body and core.<br />Sometimes when you feel like you've gotten behind in your fitness, you'll want to play catch-up by throwing in a really intense workout. Fight that temptation and add back those exercises gradually. Also, if you're in the training phase for a race or something, it's probably best to hold off on adding in intense resistance traning. Anytime you add a new stress to your body, it's going to pull you back a little (while your body heals and your muscles get stronger). This is normal. But if you do it during training it can do two things...First, if you're running slows, you may panic or become worried that your runnin is off. Second, if it's too close to race day, you may not have enough time to pull out of DOMS and you may be fatigued on race day. <br />Do the heavy resistance workouts during your basebuilding phase and then do a maintenance workouts during the training pahses.<br />Probably way too much info, hope it helps and look forward to meeting you guys in the fall!!!RunnerDudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15209079063314051451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007050355748263232.post-6519077720307127102010-05-16T23:31:26.665-04:002010-05-16T23:31:26.665-04:00Love it!!

For instance I started in with lunges last week, a little to gung-ho mind you! I was sore for 4 days! All my runs this past week were worthless, at least seemed like I was going 10 min/mile pace instead of my usual 8:30 pace!! But I am determined to get those lunges back into the regiment and raise the bar!! <br /><br />Awesome post! And BTW, I am looking at a move to NC in the fall! I am totally stoked about being in your neighborhood and hope to do some working out wiht you then!!!5 Miles Past Emptyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16542419394717296576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007050355748263232.post-61903236030338254252010-05-13T21:43:29.941-04:002010-05-13T21:43:29.941-04:00Great information to share.

I couldn't walk for days! Now, I can do speedwork and hills and not feel a thing. However, the half-marathon in April (long, slower run) did me in for about a week.

Once you acclimate to an particular intensity, you won't experience DOMS, but anytime, no matter what your fitness level, you up the intesity you're going to experience some level of DOMS. Now, if you're a conditioned athlete, DOMS may not be as dramatic, than if you're brand new to fitness, but you'll still feel it. In this sense, "No Pain. No Gain." really is true.RunnerDudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15209079063314051451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007050355748263232.post-48587816410446274772010-05-13T11:35:04.808-04:002010-05-13T11:35:04.808-04:00Great post and way to look at and think of DOMS as...Great post and way to look at and think of DOMS as a badge of your hard work.
