Progressive Run 1:09:06 [1] 6.51 mi (10:37 / mi) +105m 10:07 / mi
slept:10.0 shoes: Saucony Triumph
70 Minutes Progressive Run
I started with two to three minutes brisk walk as a warm up before gradually increasing the pace. There are very few if any flattish areas where I live so choose the least undulating course I could find which was on country lanes. There was one steep hill so I stopped my Garmin, walked up it then eased back into the session.
6.5 miles followed a half mile walk back home to cool down. So 7 miles in total.
Unfortunately, I spoke too soon about no niggles. Experienced some intermittent pain (sharp/burning) around my left ankle. Not around my Achilles which seems fine - no stiffness or soreness and I can stand on my tiptoes without any problems. Hoping it is not the peroneal tendon or anything like that.
Little to no pain on a soft surface hence why I didn't experience any problems yesterday as I ran off-road, mainly through mud and along soft trails. I wonder if a hard trail or road aggravates it.
I'll email my physio and see if I can get to see him this week. And see what he says. He was ok with me running as his plan was to manage the original Achilles problem so hope it hasn't worsened.
It's frustrating Gary as I feel the training is going well. I have nailed my diet, am following your plan and feel fitter and stronger. I feel like my running has improved and my form was remarked on in a positive way last week. I am hoping this is just a minor niggle due to overuse.
