Fingers crossed... all looking good.
Some pain crept back into the foot when I did an easy 10k last Monday (after the Sunday 30k) so I took 72 hours off completely just doing some biking and swimming. Saw my Chiropractor again on Thursday and he released everything again and confirmed it looks like I've avoided a stress fracture.
Did 8k gently up to mara pace on the Thursday, then 18k on Friday with last 12k steady. Honestly that last 12k was about the best I have ever felt running. HR 130-135, tapping along at 3:55-4:00/km. Yesterday (Sat) I did 5k easy and then 5x1k at mara pace (3:40-45) feeling great. Rested today (funky weekend schedule as I was attending a course).
Easy couple of weeks now into the marathon.
Weight is steady at 75kg.
P.S v. welcome, been meaning to do that more frequently.
