5 PM

Note
(injured)

Physio session:
Finally decided to go to the physio as my calves still cramp up when running (particularly up hills). He did his assessment and concluded that I have compartment syndrome, caused by a natural tightness of almost all my leg muscles (but particularly my calves).
Recommendation is 3x2x6 stretches per day to loosen up the muscles and some muscle massage to help. Ideally in 8-10 weeks I'll be able to run without pain. Fingers crossed!
7 PM

Orienteering race (Gladstone Park Race) 34:45 [5] 6.2 km (5:36 / km) +120m 5:07 / km
(injured) shoes: Brooks Ghost 4

Parkrace in gladstone (distance approximate as forgot my garmin).

Calves cramped up and feet went numb around controls #8 - #13 (compartment syndrome)... not much else to say after that. Caught the runner 1:30 ahead of me only to finish behind him at the end due to stopping and walking. Fingers crossed for Tuesday

(injured) shoes: Brooks Ghost 4

Official distance: 9.6km, 90m climb

Sloppy is probably the best way to describe my own run! But we came 2nd as a team and one the small club trophy.

Left knee slightly swollen, stiff and painful again now... No more running until at least Thursday
