0.51 (9:41), 0.51 (9:41), 0.47 (10:32), 0.48 (10:21) - I did this with a couple ladies at work. Between them and rain it got cut short.

S: 5/5 - 40:00
0.54 (9:14), 0.57 (8:49), 0.68 (8:34), 0.61 (8:27) - I ran this in my 890s and my left foot/ankle didn't feel as good as earlier this week. I am wondering if running in the 890s so much this spring is part of this problem. Last year I was diligent about rotating through a lot of different styles of shoes and never had a problem that lasted this long.
The only thing comparable is when I got a little gimpy when I ran in the Brooks Cadence 2 and Connect 2...I wonder if this is a flare up of that...The Cadence made my peroneal sore and I got tight calves in the Connects.

Su: OFF
Week:
Overall everything is feeling a lot better. After the first rep I feel really lose and my form feels solid. My calves were a little tight all week from the MT110s, but I expected that.
I picked this book up. Any experience with it?

Last year I read this and thought it helped me during the hard, middle miles of tempos and my race.

That Peroneal Tendonitis is really lingering. I think you need to 100% get rid of it, before going back into workouts. Maybe try the 5&5 with every other day off until that pain goes away for good. Also, keep doing foot & calf exercises every other day. Try a good stretching program after your 5&5 warming period. Daily icing (15-20 minutes) and self massage could also help. Biking on off days is probably also a good idea, as long as that doesn't bother the tendon.
ReplyDeleteKeep those calf muscles loose, and really get after any knots (pain spots) in your legs with a roller or massage. Hopefully this lingering pain will go away soon.
Haven't read either book, but they look interesting.
Good Luck!
Did you get the comment I left yesterday?
ReplyDeleteI just got it. For some reason I didn't get my usual email notification.
ReplyDeleteSo far this week I did the 5/5 and I did an extra 4M run last night. I got some KT tape and applied it for the PT. It seemed to help, but the adhesive is garbage. After the first few minutes I stopped to stretch and everything felt good. I also stopped to stretch at 2M and felt good all the way home. The PT is only a bother when I'm sitting at work all day and in the mornings. It seems like it likes to get stiff. When I get up to walk around and stretch it out it feels fine.
