Ran 5000m this morning at a moderately fast pace for a total time of 21:03.04.
I wanted to run a little faster today, but didn't think I was going that fast. It felt good and I had no pain in my ankle.
Coach was upset though. Coach asked me why I went so fast. I said that becasue tomorrow it is supposed to rain hard and probably I won't be able to run, I wanted to go a little hard. Coach says that even though my ankle does not hurt and seems to be fine, my whole body is not used to hard training and by pushing myself hard could result in injury of something not even related to my ankle. Coach says to run slow the rest of this week. Coach says that I can't just think of my ankle, but that my whole body requires that my training increase gradually.
