Improving 10k with regular training

[MMS]

Hi TheEd,

Sorry for being away these days, but I haven´t 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, it´s fine. I´ve 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 I´ll travel in June (3rd to 23rd) on vacation and won´t have too much time to run. I would use these days to rest (Off Period) and start Build Up after vacation.

I´m not sure what caused it. I first noticed it during the 2k session. It was almost fine the next day and didn´t 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 haven´t run much.

I don´t 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.

I´ll let you know how things go, specially after receiving the MRI results.

Thanks,

MMS.
