Oh Dear ….
Unfortunately last Sunday, partway through a planned one hour marathon pace ‘easy’ run, I felt a sharp & sudden calf muscle pain and couldn’t continue running. Indeed it wasn’t easy to walk back home : That evening I booked a physio session. The pain gradually eased in the following days and I was relieved when on Wednesday evening, the Physio advised that there didn’t appear to be any muscle tear.
A week later I am able to walk without any pain or discomfort but I am not yet running : I have a schedule of sessions from the Physio – next one is 20 mins long – 4 mins walk, 4 mins jog, 4 mins walk, 4 mins jog, 4 mins walk. Thats not exactly back to running.
All this 2 weeks before the Brighton Marathon, itself a week before the London Marathon….. The jury is therefore out on my involvement in these 2 races.
