run 28:48 intensity: (16 @1) + (2:09 @2) + (20:12 @3) + (6:11 @4) 6.16 km (4:40 / km) +51m 4:29 / km
ahr:151 max:171 shoes: Saucony Freedom ISO

Left it (several days) later than planned, but finally got out for my 2nd! run of the week just before it got dark. Right calf much the same as at any other point over the last couple of months, left calf fine, so onwards and upwards.

Aiming for 3 x 30 minutes next week and see what happens, but not expecting any dramas. Still thinking I'll likely get a bike trainer just to get some extra hours in over the holidays with less chance of breaking myself.

ahr:135 max:146 shoes: Saucony Triumph Iso2

I guess this went OK. Right calf uncomfortable while warming up, and there wasn't much left after that. Left calf was pretty good with my foot taped.

A little bit of calf stiffness on the next two mornings, but this disappeared quickly just walking around, so probably more a symptom of not having trained for a long time rather than anything to worry about.

Note

The happiest possible news from the physio - no calf tear, foot taped up and the instruction to ‘Go and run as soon as possible before the tape loosens off.’

Hopeful that the solution is to get orthotics modified/replaced (and in the short term, not to run without them so often! Will need to put up with them on trails and wear ankle braces to cover for complete lack of proprioception)
