Progressive fun
After Wednesday tempo run I needed to take a day off in order to both allow my body to repair aswell as to stay motivated. My Thursday focussed on trauma therapy so it was emotionally pretty taxing. Normally I would just run a bit at a low heartbeat in order to just clear the mind, but yesterday I just wanted to listen to some alpha waves on bed - so that was exactly what I did.
Today , a new day! I opted to go for a progressive run, to verify my heartrate zones. My training setup was:
- warming up 3 km , target heartrate 120 - 140
- blok 1 , 10 km , target heartrate 145 - 155
- blok 2 , 3 km , target heartrate 155 - 160
- short recovery jog
With this progression I aimed to touch my zones 2 , 3 and lower 4.
My result for todays run:
It went pretty well, I decided to give a little boost on the last KM and finish strong, before the little cooling down! My hamstring was definitly noticeable especially during the first half, but it eased in the second half. Hopefully tomorrows recovery run will smooth things out again.
What a fun way to start the day!
Happy running!
How long have you been doing the sound wave therapy. Are you using it for rest, recovery and or injury? We just got a tuning fork @consciouscat !LUV s it.
Most of the times I do it to create some mindspace after an intense therapy session.
Rather than a powernap which disrupts my nights - I do NSDR (no sleep deep rest) sessions daily. On regular days +/- 20 min, intense days 40 - 50 min. Now for about 2 years I think
For example I found this album work pretty well without risking sleep (spotify)

Listen in the bed for sure relax your mind, you need to take care of it also

STOP@rainbowdash4l, what tool/process/modality are you using to do your trauma therapy? I'm curious because this is something I do regularly as well and I'm so glad @new.things tagged me in a comment here because it's nice to find people on Hive where we have similar interests and priorities!
Hey!! Thank you for reaching out! @new.things thanks for connecting!
For me it has been a long journey with regards to trauma therapy, started with regular CTG, went for schema-therapy and 2 years later now in a year long GIT-PD program with additional modules
For me specific event trauma is only a part of the puzzle, with my personality resulting from prolonged unsafe conditions during childhood being the remainder.
The elements with regards to specific event trauma that I respond well to are:
At home, I mostly stick to mindfullness, NSDR and plenty of low intensity sports to have sufficient buffer.
Hope this is also helpful for you! In case you would like more info or just a chat, feel free to contact me!
Thanks for your thoughtful reply and sharing what is working for you 🙏 It's such a journey, isn't it?!
I've been working with different modalities and models of healing for a bit over a decade now and come to the conclusion that there's no one tool or process for everyone and that probably every person needs a holistic approach to healing.
Great work. Hope you're seeing progress! ❤️
