Running man

The plan this week is to repeat 5 days running adding between 60-70 miles. So as the sun came up lighting the sky red I headed out for 17 miles. My ruck sack was slightly heavier than last week so I paced myself nice and easy. By running on my own there was no competitive pressure to speed up. By half way I felt great but I started getting a niggle in my calf. Towards the end it really was starting to hurt so I've changed my plans and I won't be running tomorrow. I'm trying to arrange a sports massage as these niggles need sorted before they develop into anything worse. I don't want to miss my big weekend 79 mile run so I need to take it easy. Listening to your body is essential, especially when putting in this kind of mileage. Here's hoping.
