Rolling/Stretching 25:00
Been given instructions by Dave not to run for a week so will be doing a test run this Thursday. Going to keep up the cycling and hopefully get involved in some swimming. However my shin is feeling the best it has for a while.

51.2km 532m 25.8km/h
Really nice ride on a far better route than the last couple of rides. Mostly flat except for some climbs that were short but really tiering. There was a TT race going on at the same time so was trying to keep off the roads they were using also aggressively overtook a group of about 10 cyclist's who were blocking the whole road only to awkwardly cycle past them 20km later.

Went out for an easy run avoiding any hard surfaces. For the first 7km lower left leg was weak but got a lot better towards the end of the run. Felt no pain in shin which is good and hopefully my leg is only weak due to not that much use. Nice surprise to see a otter on the river otter for the first time ever I think.

Note
I couldn't live with myself seeing all those cycling miles so have removed it all and returned from the dark side.
Rolling/Stretching 35:00
Massage, rolling then stretching. No pain in left shin even when I apply pressure also left calf is no longer weak. Doubt it has fully recovered however planning on going on a 10 km run tomorrow.

Social ride with Will so a slightly slower pace. Was going well untill the point where my hands started to swell up and the rest of my body started to shut down as it was so cold so cut the ride a bit shorter to avoid frostbite.

Only did this short session as a test for my shin. I felt no pain during or after so a good step forward however definitely still weak. Going to continue training in this cautious way as it seems to be working.
