Typical!

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…

Runna Week 03

This week I’m on the third week of my 50K training plan. This comprises four runs of 7 km (Monday) , 6.2 km (Wednesday), 5 km (Thursday) and 12 km (Saturday), classified as Easy, Hills, Easy and Long respectively.

I had to swap my new Salomon Pulsar’s for my usual Adidas trainers during Monday’s run despite wearing two pairs of socks. The difference between the two shoes is like night and day so maybe the Salomon’s aren’t for me, or at least not on the treadmill.

Overall progress can be seen here.
