when you flat like this, you can consider increasing your protein intake
be it via red meat or even eggs
please let me know how it goes

Hi TheEd,
I went to an event on Monday night, slept really late and decided to have my 1k session at night. It went very nice. Strong all the way and happy with it. Very different feeling from my 2k session last Thur morning.
I believe the problem is not my protein intake, itôs just my laziness in the morning. :whistle: But iôm taking care of it. I still drink a shake (banana, milk, honey, whey protein) after my runs.

Hi TheEd,
Sorry for being away these days, but I havenôt been running lately as much as I wanted. Remember I mentioned a pain on my left foot? I went to the doctor today he suspects it an anterior tibial tendonitis. An MRI is scheduled for this Friday.
I feel the pain when I twist my foot to the left or when I move my feet up. Other than that, itôs fine. Iôve been icing it since last Tue and only ran 30min last Thur. Also decided not to race this Sunday.
I was already planning a break after this race, as Iôll travel in June (3rd to 23rd) on vacation and wonôt have too much time to run. I would use these days to rest (Off Period) and start Build Up after vacation.
Iôm not sure what caused it. I first noticed it during the 2k session. It was almost fine the next day and didnôt feel anything after the long run or my bike ride on Sunday. Only after the 1k session it became more evident, and since then, like I said, I havenôt run much.
I donôt know if my shoes for quality sessions are too old (812km so far) and have their share on this. New shoes will be bought during this trip, also something already planned before this injury.
Iôll let you know how things go, specially after receiving the MRI results.
Thanks,
MMS.

log these details .. as it seems that the last 8km race should have been your last
calculate how many 3 week cycles you have done up and till that 8k race
and from there we can avoid such hassles in the future
each runner has a breakdown point and we need to learn when it can occur and when to take it easy
the last 2k session should have been the final warning
hopefully not much damage done

5 cycles is your limit by the looks of it for now
so we have to hve you on the cycle for 4 times before coming down for a week and doing maintenance running before going back towards the 10k cycle
this is not the same as the Build-up period but an enforced easy period to give the body a boost to adapt to the rigours of training
this applies to you as an individual, so it is very well advised to work towards this rhythm
let me know how the recovery goes for now

Hi TheEd,
I got the online results of the MRI and it confirms the tendonites. On the other hand, my foot is considerably better than last time we spoke.
Iôve been icing the area 3 times a day for 20 minutes, every day, and the results are coming. I donôt feel that pain after waking up anymore.
Iôll see the doctor again this week and let you know his opinion.
I ran 30min easy on Sat, wanted to do it yesterday but got caught up at work. Probably will try tonight.

Hi TheEd,
I had an appointment with my orto last Friday and everything was fine. He classified my injury as a minor one and prescribed an anti-inflammatory for the next days, also some phisio sessions. But I wonââ¬â¢t be able to go to the phisio because Iââ¬â¢ll travel next Friday, so Iââ¬â¢ll do them, if necessary, when I return on the 24th.
I keep icing my foot and it feels a little better every morning. Luckily, when I return, itââ¬â¢ll be fine.

Hi TheEd,
Iôve returned from my vacations and I still have to do some phisio sessions Iôll schedule soon.
I had the best time ever during these days and hopefully my foot is better and Iôll slowly return to running.
Keep you posted.
Cheers.
