Just a quick update. After doing my 1k intervals last week, I was too busy to run on Wednesday, and then on Thursday I could only run for 2k because of pain in my right ankle.
I am now on holiday and went to see a doctor two days ago. He suggested I just take it easy, which I will do of course. But after browsing the net, I am worried it is some problem with the ankle bone itself, not just a ligament/muscular thing. I really don't know, but it's not the achilles tendon and there is no pain on the outside of the foot/ankle. Anyway - I was thinking about taking one week off completely. What do you think?
(apart from this - 1k run was very good - I did the last three at 4:10, HR avg 157, max 166 for the last three, which was fine).
