Lovely Easter Sunday miles, off road with plenty of elevation….. yep walked most of those 😂🙈 in all seriousness a beautiful run with Sue, Su and klare. Weather was almost perfect.,we had beautiful views and pit stops to see the many animals on route. My foot and ankle was noticeable but I was careful. Soon as I got home and showered I sat with it raised and iced. I have bruising around the inside of the ankle bone, it hurts if I touch it, I haven’t twisted or rolled it, or anything. I can’t put much pressure on it first thing but once I move it around it’s ok.
Anyway a great morning run with a lovely bunch 😊 4 hrs on my feet completed ✅
Really pleased you enjoyed the run but obviously concerned about the ankle if it bruised. I feel like you have two options. One we plough on, sticking to the plan, keeping in the speed work, with a greater risk to the ankle and potential the participation in the Run to the Sea. Option 2, we ease back for 4 weeks, we ditch the speed work and we make Run to the Sea the priority, ensuring you are fit to toe the start line. The 2nd option will likely lead to a slight drop in fitness, but increases the likelihood you will be fit to race. Then once that is ticked off, we can reintroduce the speed work. I’ll support either decision but just wanted to share that, so you can choose which approach is best for you. Well done though Michelle, an excellent week again.
