When I woke up this morning I could feel some pain in my calf before I ever got out of bed. I thought oh boy, another day without running. When I got up and walked on it, it felt fine though, so I did some calf raises on it and it still felt fine, so I decided to give it a go. I went to the gym for some TM running so I could quit at the first sign of discomfort. I broke out my heaviest shoes and even added some heel lifts in them to take a little more strain off the calf. I wanted to do some speed work, but didn't want to go overboard (Nothing Stupid!) so I stole Teena's speed workout from the other day. TM 1% incline 2 miles warm up @ 8:00 3 progressively faster miles 7:30, 6:45, 6:00 repeated 3 times 2 mile cool down @8:00 Total run 13 miles No calf discomfort at all while running. It will be interesting to see how it feels later today. I did get a little blister from the heel insert though, and it was a weird feeling running in them. With those and the heavier shoes, I felt like I was running with leg weights on. |
