Another day on the track. As the pain in my calf is slowly subsiding I've been popping anti-inflammatories, rolling it out post-run and tiger balming religiously. Mostly though, I've been able to feel out what I think it can and cannot handle. I'd rather do workouts that are beneficial and build on them than blow my calf up and be hung up for a couple days.
Today's workout was intended to get me moving at a good pace over a longer period of time. At this point my longest hard effort had been 800's so today I stretched it out to repeat miles. In the back of my mind I was hoping to do three of them but after number two I was feeling a little shaky in the calf and wanted to keep my schedule for the rest of the week, including a trail run tomorrow. Half mile warmup, 0.40 cooldown was a jog to the train. I pretty much hit right where I wanted on the pacing with these, felt pretty good and didn't tire out much.
Repeats
Mile 1 - 7:10
Mile 2 - 7:00
