My first missed run 😣. My foot has been playing up since Parkrun. I have a twinge in the ball of my foot which isn’t going away. It did appear during marathon training too. I gave this one a miss as thought it was the sensible thing to do as it seems to go away with a bit of rest. Was also going to say about leaving Sundays free of runs and doing my long runs on Saturdays. I’m finding running both days of the weekend too much as I need a day free in the week where I have no work and no runs as otherwise I burn out. Hope this isn’t a problem!
Really sorry to hear about your foot. A few things might be worth considering. The trainers you wear for your easy runs? Are you getting enough support from them. Some exercises which may help, towel scrunching, rolling on a ball just a few which spring to mind but the web is full of great recommendations if it continues to cause problems. Looking at your plan, apart from races, Sundays are now free going forward, so hopefully that will help with recovery. Always be honest with me, as well, you will know better than me what works for you and I can then learn and adjust to best suit your needs. During a block we will always miss the odd session. I took Sunday off when I was supposed to cross train as my bad knee has been twinging. Really it’s a strategic decision rather than a missed session. So see it as a positive 😁
