Injury/ Training Plan Advice
Currently resting through week 9/18 training, after a week 8 deload. On Monday while barbell back squatting, pulled something in lower back. Through some consulting and free screening may be slight pelvic tilt and QL tightness. Have made decent progress and looking ahead to next week.
My plan is through Runna. Should I continue my training where I missed, cutting back a week on the back end, or pick up with week 10? Obviously being conservative and keeping mindful of my injury.
I believe I may pick up with week 9. Before the injury I was already looking ahead at what my “taper” weeks were supposed to be thinking that it didn’t seem like much of a taper. So I may pick up with week 9 and cut out the week of the 13th.
Last few weeks of training block looks like:
Peak week- October 6 at 42 miles/21 mile long run.
October 13th at 36 miles/16 mile long run
October 20th- 28.5 mile week/ 10 mile long run
Any thoughts / advice?
