Midland champs @ Longshaw
I know I probably shouldn't have but was getting massive withdrawal symptoms. So I went out to enjoy and not push/do anything silly.
Was able to ran with more confidence on the trails and easier terrain but was pretty reserved through the marshes, rock, tussocks etc to preserve my calf. Course was mainly quite straight forwards and only small time losses at 1 (banana), 5 (over shot), and 24 (too far right); each about 20-30s. Also not sure on my routes to 9 and 10. Was within 1 min of Malley and Will so not too bad.

Tired jog; tightness in strange places, I guess from running slightly differently.

Getting to the gym would have been difficult today. So, instead of doing nothing, and as I have had no discomfort for nearly a week now, I thought a short run into work was called for. Didn't feel my calf at all, either during or after.

Still nothing from my calf though some weakness during strengthening stuff. Feels good enough to run on; which means is a struggle to stop myself from going running.

Back at Physios. Has improved much more than expected. Continue now with X training for the next week and reassess for running after next weeks appointment; that is much quicker than originally suspected. Strengthening stuff to do, but not eccentric loading yet.
