Monday, the usual rest day.
Tuesday it was early evening by the time i got out and it was 24 degrees or so with a bit of a cooling breeze in the air, took shotgunmcos' advice on board and necked a pint of electrolytes half hour before my run, first time trying this so interested to see how i would go. As comfortable a run as i have done in the heat of The Hague, again keeping in tune with what P&D advises, starting at MP+20% and working down to MP+10%. Won't say i've found the magic formula but shotgunmcos' certainly helped me.
Wednesday, day got away from me preparing for our return to Ireland on Thursday.
Thursday's run was a quick early morning jaunt out to Kijkduin and back doing the strides during the run, missed our flight later that afternoon
:o:o.
Friday, the mood was a bit grim Friday morning with two very disappointed kiddies who hoped to be at home with there cousins at that point. It was 10.45am by time i got out, again taking the pint of electrolytes on 30 mins before i went out. It was 25 degrees and 75% humidity but i was determined not to let this get into my head and was 100% focussed on having a good session.
Done a 2 mile warm up and decided to start the HMP/15k stuff then as i felt the head creeping up. I find on these that if i get through the first mile comfortably enough i will do the session comfortably, first mile was bit of a grind but got it done and into the second one, few passers by offered support which lifted me a bit more, from there on in the session was golden. Real confidence boost and was so happy by the end of the 5 miles that it felt the way it did. I was a mess sweat wise as usual but it had no impact on me today. As the day went on my left achilles really started to bother me.
Saturday, morning and early afternoon was spent spoiling the Troops somewhat for Thursday's missed flight, achilles at me the whole time. Attempted my run but pulled the plug at half a mile, every step was painful. Decided when i got home that the next days 21 miles was off the cards, evening spent icing my achilles and researching achilles stretches.
Sunday, nothing, reasons given above.
28 miles out of a possible 68
:(:(. Its not to often that you don't get thrown a curve ball during a marathon cycle, its how you deal with it that determines how the rest of your cycle goes. Rest now till the pain subsides, i'm not fretting or losing the plot, nothing lost yet. Flying to Ireland DEFINITELY tomorrow so its another rest day, will see how it is come Tuesday, if its not right i'll leave it be. Oh any reccomendations for achilles stretches greatly appreciated. 0 -

Ahh balls.... Sorry to hear that. ...
On the other hand I'm glad to see you taking the advice. Many of us might try to
plough on regardless. The work you have done will not be wasted though, you can tap into that once fully recovered....
I'd blame TbL.... Whoever he runs with seems to get injured!!!! 0 -
