Since the race...
First run, on the monday went fine. Then I had an unfortunate cold, so I didn't run until last Saturday. Then I felt strange pains in both the calves. Very locally too. On the left leg, a small place on the outside of the calf and on the right leg a bigger place on the back of the calf.
They both pained when I ran.
After that I took it easy on the Sunday and didn't run. Before that I had thoughts on running on Sunday too, but then I didn't.
This monday I ran 1 hour easy. It felt much better, but it was still there. But it felt good enough to run on the Tuesday too, so I did. So yesterday (Tuesday) I ran again, for 50 minutes, which felt really good.
And today I'm all good, so I'm thinking about running today too and go on with the program.
How do you propose I should do the program?
How long time for easy runs?
What pace or HR?
Next race is 17 September
