Out to Fairholmes with Will Beauchamp and Alex Plant for two laps of Derwent and Howden. The plan was an honest pace up the right hand side, then tempo from Kings Tree back to Fairholmes.

I handled the first tempo section well, running with Will and averaging 5.55s. Perhaps overdid it slightly as by the time we got to the second one my legs were already pretty tired and the wind was battering me. Then frustratingly and annoyingly my heel started to hurt so I had to drop the pace off and survive to the end. Will was flying and had already disappeared into the distance.

I've got my fingers crossed that the heel isn't going to be too bad as it's certainly nowhere near as sore as when I hurt it after the previous long run. The worry is that it's struggling to handle longer runs. It may be getting aggravated by shoes with a smaller heel to toe drop so might get some heel inserts and see if that helps.
