Hi there 'TheEd'
Thanks for your reply.
Just an update on the last few days.
My calf problem has not gone away but it has got progressively better so thats good. Because of that I have not done nay major sessions since DAY 17 - ( EASY 30mins + 6 x 1min FAST / 1min SLOW / 1min RACE PACE F )
DAY 18 (FRI)
Rest
DAY 19 (SAT) - Nothing
I did not get a chance to get out and run.
DAY 20 (SUN)
XC Hills - This was more to do with strengthening my calf. It helped.
DAY 21 (MON)
EASY 30 mins
END OF CYCLE
I havnt started the cycle again really. I was wandering if to do the 400m time trial as I havnt felt my best because of the calf.
CYCLE 03
DAY 1 (TUES)
EASY 30 mins
If I was following the cycle exactly this should have been a 60-70 min session but I didnt feel I was up for it.
DAY 2 (WED)
EASY 30 mins
DAY 3 - THURSDAY (TODAY)
What to do ? This should be the 2k interval session.
From what I understand of your last reply. I think I should do a 4k time trial or a distance up to 8k ?
Preferably i would like to do just 30mins tonight and rather than rest tomorrow I can either do the 2k session or time trial. I have the day off tomorrow because it's 'Good Friday' so have an opportunity to get onto a 2k straight, flat hard gravel track.
What do you think ?
By the way do you think cycling every day (10miles total) has any bearing ones ability to perform in the sessions ? I am not sure. I dont think it does but my legs have felt pretty heavy last few runs and im unsure if its from the calf or just the cycling and running taking its toll.
Speak soon - have a nice easter
