The last few weeks of running and training for me have matched the weather, ranging from cold and driving rain to temperatures around 27c! With my calf still niggling it has been a love / hate / love running relationship, although by averaging around 25 miles a week I've been able to do enough quality work to give me confidence for the cross country season starting this weekend.
Key sessions have included -
- ninety minute hill runs
- several quality fartlek sessions
- a return to the track (inc. 5 x 800m / 2 minute recoveries)
- a couple of new runs including the "Sandbach Two Bridges" (photo - the ancient Saxon Crosses)
- a range of steady runs plus good hill climbs.
The trick for the next few weeks will be to balance the need to push on with training against aggravating the calf muscle further. More stretching on the steps then!
Weekly mileage 27. Annual mileage 961 (week 39). Races 20
