Training Plans & Runs | 45 Mins Easy

So I’ve dropped back the running and will progress it slowly over the next few weeks with the idea of adding in some speed (half marathon at first) in 3 weeks time. In running terms you are still young and I would like this to be the start of a long term comeback. Crikey Sarah Miles didn’t start running into her 50 and has done close to 150 marathons now. So it’s important to be patient for a few weeks and hopefully that will allow you to build up the strength in your calves as well.

Calf pain kicked in around 20 mins and increased to 4/10 so I stopped. An improvement on last week but still not good. I’m disappointed it’s taking so long but trying to be sensible. Oh and I’m doing body pump tomorrow evening and the 60 min swim on Wednesday. Just fits with life better. Hope that’s ok.

Thanks Lou, Appreciate you letting me know about the switch up. I have moved the 45 min run from Friday to Wednesday if time allows? Simply to ensure you don’t do something every single day and get a rest day. I think the fact you did 60 mins yesterday probably caused today’s issues. But I think the new plan is sensible, patient and hopefully long term does the trick and gives you that time to strengthen the calves.
