First post-injury 6K!

[dottiemay]

Managed a 4k and 2k on Monday and that was only after a long recovery walk in between, so the intention today was to try for a straight 5k+.

Found it tough and stopped checking the Garmin at 4:08k as I knew that I would get hung-up on time/distance so just kept going for as long as I could. Finally checked and was at 5.87 so pushed really hard to make the 6k. Time was 40:54.

There was a very strong wind which made things a bit harder and I made a point of running on grass verges and greens wherever I could, and then over a footbridge, just to make it even more tough!

Still nowhere near my pre-injury times and pace is very erratic, but right now, I just feel that I need to get some miles into my legs. And boy, are they feeling it, but most importantly, calf seems to be fine.

Well done you!! You will be back up to par in no time; just build it up gradually as you are doing

That's great news and a good time for 6k as my time for 5k is 37mins.

well done! I'm particularly impressed that that was also ran off road. It is a lot harder I think!
