Well that’s typical! I was about 6 km into my end of Week 3 12 km training run and felt a little niggle in my left calf. I decided to walk for a bit to see how it felt. After another km it felt OK so I starting joging again and then shortly after I felt a sharp twinge. Oops. I had the exact same thing once before but when running at a faster pace. Annoyingly I was feeling really good otherwise – and testing out my Salomon ADV Hydra Vest 4 vest with soft flasks for the first time. This was surprisingly comfortable despite being a snug fit.

There is clearly one benefit of starting a training program so early – time to accommodate injuries. So I’m going to let this recover and then at some point will get back to the plan, probably picking up Week 3 again from the top.On the plus side I can probably do a bit more cycling now, just in time for Zwift‘s Tour of Watopia event. Every cloud…
