Hi Scott
Long time follower of your work and books, hope you’re well.
I’ve dabbled in the gym based ME workouts in the past but never done them consistently, I think in the past I’ve not modified them enough and been so sore for 3-4 days that is has impacted my aerobic workouts too much.
I’m determined to implement them over the next 8 weeks or so, I did a modified version yesterday and today I’m sore but not cripplingly so! My question is obviously they need to be relatively hard to be effective but how sore is too sore ? I could have ran today but felt that if I did my gait would be somewhat ‘off’ so did 90 mins bike instead, have athletes you’ve coached ever had concerns about their running form being ‘off’ due to the DOMs?
I normally do around 7-10hrs aerobic training per week (running, cycling, hiking).
Thank you
James
<p style=”text-align: left;”>I’ve now done 2 of these workouts over the past 8 days, I think I’ve finally managed to get the intensity right whereby I can still feel a significant training effect but where the soreness and general fatigue isn’t so high that I can’t complete a normal amount of zone 1-2 in the days following the workout.</p>
