Having run with a sore calf for about 6 weeks, it was bound to let go at some point. Tonight was the night. Following a jet-lagged, full-of-cold, sore calf run on Tuesday (I'm sure I could think of a couple of other excuses if necessary) with the Harriers, I iced and massaged the pain on Wednesday and then went for a short loop tonight. Agony. I almost, for the first time ever, failed to complete a run that I'd started. But being made from sterner (and stupider) stuff, I carried on to the end but at some cost I think.
Tomorrow should tell more but I've already ruled myself out of the Abingdon Marathon later this month. Not a chance of either completing that in my goal time (3 hrs ish) or completing it at all given my current state!
Anyhoo, here's the output from Tuesday's pretty quick (6.52 mile pace) run:
