The amount of activity completed was 7. While there are numerous physical benefits from regular physical activity, it also benefits our psychological health too.
Even brief walks, at a low intensity, can improve our mood and energy levels. You can start to notice positive effects after as little as 10 minutes of aerobic training. Just make sure you have a few harder days, and mostly easy days in there, and you will be fine.
Taking a week off every now and then fro all exercise being cardio. Some weeks I have less decline and some weeks more. Strength training I experience minimL if any, decline. As for cardio. I usually do a combo. I experience the most decline in running fitness. I ran my 1st err 5k Oct 4th, after 10 day off running only biking some of those days. I got a time of just over 22 min. The course was totally flat.
Makes no sense other then it ws my 1st 5k and I had adrenaline going with me. I even ran a 5k the next day and got a time of approx. I have been running over a year before this. Both races I pushed myself. Exactly Kurt, it is a shame more people do not have the confidence to be able to take a week off to completely recover more often.
Thanks for sharing, that is interesting, but not really surprising as sometimes this is all our bodies need. Keep up the good work, and keep us informed on how you are doing! Will I be able to resume my normal level of activity after a whole week off, or will I need to ease back in? Hi I am 71 and love running but have a perennial longus injury and already been out 4 weeks and so worried when hopefully I get back ruining I would have lost all my fitness specially at my age love reading article all the best Eric.
Hi Eric, thanks for reaching out. Glad you enjoyed that article, you need to take a listen to our podcasts, we have many more inspiring guests, some with tales of runners who started running in their 80s and even 90s! Thanks for the article. It explains why I am struggling so much in this 10K clinic.
I came off a heavy ski season which included a 7 day late spring back country trip where we climbed to feet a day. Then I had a big surgery which recommended at least 6 weeks off. At week 4 I tried a 5K run on my own which took 33 mins and it exhausted me for a week and caused quite a bit pain.
I am huffing and puffing like crazy. Tonight was a tempo run, 6K, 2K warm up, 3K race pace, 1K cool back. I could not hold the tempo pace for more than 1. I chose the 10K clinic as I knew after 10 weeks off I had to start small but holy hannah, I never thought it would be this hard!
To get my running fitness back faster should I push to add more easy running days. I am still recovering from the hernia repair and my muscular strength is pathetic. What to do….. Hi Erica, thanks for reaching out. Try not to lose hope, your body will remember what it is doing before you know it, and you will get that running fitness back. Research has found for those who maintain some movement and light exercise, the loss of muscle strength is a bit slower.
Other studies have found the muscle fibres of athletes — such as runners or rowers — tend not to change as quickly. Although certain sport-specific muscle strength can start to disappear within a few weeks. Truth is, most of us aren't athletes, and struggle to get the minimum recommended amount of exercise each week. So it won't take long to see any hard-won muscle strength disappear. Enough of the bad news.
How long does it take to re-build your cardiovascular fitness and strength? In the fitness industry this is known as "newbie gains" and it's an exciting time.
Having said that, he warns, genetics play a big role in exactly how long it takes to get your fitness back after crawling out of the "frump rut". If you're starting from scratch or starting again, the best thing to do is to just get moving. Perhaps kick off with regular walks and build from there. Getting fit and staying fit is a continuous, life-long process that will ebb and flow. And none of this means you should never take a break. Rest days are important for your body too.
