Had to do it later in the day than usual with work and family stuff on first but it went OK. My calves loosened off a bit after feeling sore from the flat run yesterday...addcuctor area feels a little strained / bruised too but ok while running.

7 AM

trail running (moderate running) 1:18:00 [3] 10.5 mi (7:26 / mi)
shoes: Adidas Boston

80' Moderate (CDR)

I fancied going down to he canal for a flat run this AM so not the rolling trails indicated in the plan but I had forgot about that bit....

It was a good indicator of what was going on bio mechanically though as I always think running on the trails can hide stuff...

I de have a bit of a tight calf and just general discomfort all up my leg at this pace really....im guessing from nursing my right foot around hours and hours of the Lakes. Sure it will be ok after the odd massage

My pace was a bit all over the place at the start feeling OK but getting a bit excited with things but settled down after about 20 mins...

The last 20 was a little tiring but hunger wasn't an issue surprisingly even though I woke up hungry today.

shoes: Inov8 X Talon 200

60 Moderate

Ran on the trails at Llandegla but in hindsight should have chosen a different route, to many steep bits to keep it relaxed at goal pace but felt good to put a bit of effort in...

I got asked earlier in the week to be the 'trail runner' in a short film for a local guy doing some promo work but it was weather dependant....tonight ended up being it. Jut ran up and down a hill really..

shoes: Inov8 X Talon 200

60' Easy + Technical Exercises

Easy run with the dog and walked the steep bits....no tech exercises because my ankle seems bit swollen still after a few runs. No pain though......Il pick the exercises up again next week.
9 AM

trail running (easy) 1:02:00 [2] 6.3 mi (9:50 / mi) +320m 8:30 / mi

easy run with the dog around Llandegla forest...

Stuck to the fire roads to avoid any unwanted ankle action and all seemed well apart from my legs feeling a bit heavy.

Motivation back....

First 'run' since L100...

No foot / ankle pain....I can still feel some swelling around the retinaculum fascia if I run my hands over it but no pain at all.

Felt like a slug though.
