So, today after about 2 weeks on restricted duties due to my calf strain and encouraged by my success of testing out my leg on the treadmill on Thursday I decided to kick back off again today. I re-visited one of the W1 runs, can't decide if I should repeat the run twice more or go back to W2 which is where it all went a bit wrong two Fridays ago...
I upped the pace of my brisk walk to try and make sure that my legs were properly warmed up and have been following the advice of the PT I grilled last Tuesday and have been trying to put away 3-3.5 litres of water on the day before my run to make sure I'm properly hydrated. So far it seems to have worked. I'm back at my pre-strain pace for running. Tomorrow is my rest day but will go swimming as really want to build on my cardio-vascular fitness which will hopefully get me through the C25K journey injury free.

Thanks Dale, the magical banana is always part of the routine usually have one just as I get up in the morning and then one as part of my breakfast after my run.
I'm hoping that the calf strain stays away, as I really want to get through this program!
