Regeneration Run - tapering.
Nice and easy like the others, 12 min/miling or thereabouts on a mainly flat route. I walked up any hills.
4 miles in total.
I also had a pre-race massage at the physio today. My peroneal nerve has settled down which is good news and no problems with my knees (bonus!).
Now, the physio has spotted a mild bursa on the back of my Achilles (near the insertional point). Nothing serious and as I have only had the odd twinge or two from it this week he isn't worried. He thinks there is some inflammation there which has caused a small 'bump' but it's manageable. It's probably a flare up from that tight Achilles I had several weeks ago and a reaction to training load.
He is fine with me running the Chester Ultra especially as I will be mostly off-road and using a run/walk strategy. I am booked in again on Monday for a post-race massage so he will re-assess it then. But he isn't concerned about it at present.
