CRAMP for God's sake! I thought I'd torn something in my calf but the Osteopath tells me I just had a severe localised cramp, probably partly due to dehydration after sitting around in too hot rooms drinking too much booze for 2 weeks over the Christmas holiday. It still took a week to stop hurting, cramp or no cramp.
Properly hydrating now and swigging tonic water for good measure as the Quinine really helps with cramp.
Off Down The Road
Back to training again now and Saturday saw my 3rd road run, well walk/run anyway. 3 x 3 min runs with 4min walk intervals and 5 min warm up and cool down - I'm still scared of the achilles so am forcing myself to be careful.
This road run was a major milestone as the distance and time equalled my disastrous first outing back in April when I injured myself.
- 12th Jan 2013: 3.7 km of which 1.7 km was running 27m overall 9m running
- 22nd Apr 2012: 3.6 km of which 1.7 km was running 25m overall 8m running
