Hi TheEd
I'm halfway through the off period now. All seems to be ok. Still getting tenderness in the left Achilles when pressing it, and both Achilles/lower calves are a bit "seized up" very first thing. No issues when they're warmed up or pain when walking/running/climbing stairs etc though. I'm continuing with extra stretching and massage of calves and Achilles.
Here's the latest runs. I've consciously slowed the pace slightly to ensure its easy and average heart rate is around 140 or below.
4 March
7.92km in 40:01
Av pace 5:03/km
Av HR 139
5 March
6.03km in 30:05
Av pace 4:59/km
Av HR 135
6 March
7.86km in 40:01
Av pace 5:06/km
Av HR 137
7 March
Rest
8 March
10.15km in 50:01
Av pace 4:56/km
Av HR 141
9 March
6.18km in 30:01
Av pace 4:51/km
Av HR 140
10 March
10.0km in 50:14
Av pace 5:01/km
Av HR 136
Will check back in at end of off period.
Cheers.
