Spring 09 - the run-up to Boston
El Gordo Wrote:...I think it's overtraining. This may sound laughable, given my patchy regime, but that's the very point. I've had two extended periods of inactivity, following the first injury, and the funeral, and I committed the classic error of trying to make up for lost training. On the Tuesday I ran 11.5 miles, followed by two hard gym sessions, then an attempted 15 miler, halfway through which I broke down.

It's quite possible EG. Not that I would encourage my less is more training of 1 - 2 runs per week, but the upside is that I've been very much injury-free (touch wood).

But it's rum luck (run luck?) for the calf to go again. But you've got a plan, and that's good. And you've got the determination to see it through: do what you have to do and best of British to you.
Run. Just run.
