20k training W4 : Fiftyrunstillmay 45 & 46 (RunForSteem)
As you can see in the title of the article, I only did two runs this week. I'll explain that in more details below.
First run: fartlek training
I started my week on Monday with a good fartlek training. Here is the detail of the session:
- 30' of warm-up at my endurance run
- 2 times 10x(20"/20") with 4' of rest between the two repetitions
- 10' of cool down
I find the 20"/20" quite hard because it's really fast and we don't have much time to recover between the fast 20". But it's also a fun training. Times flies during this kind of training because we never really stop. At the end, it was a good run under a beautiful blue sky!
Second run: endurance run
My second run, on Wednesday, was the endurance run. I had to do 60' at a 4'38"/km pace. As you can see on my Strava session, I didn't manage to do it. The first reason is because of the climbs. Considering that, I did it at a pace of 4'41"/km. But the second and most important reason is because my leg was hurting during the entire run. This is why I only did 49'. I will talk more about my leg below.
Third run: no run...
As I said at the beginning, I only ran two times this week. This is of course because of my leg. I wanted to run when I woke up this morning. But my leg was still hurting just while walking. I decided not to run because of that.
I know what is this pain. I have a periostitis since a few years and it comes back when I run too much. That's why some rest can only be good for my leg (because a periostitis is caused by the repetitive shocks). I can't run this weekend so I will see on Tuesday if I'm good or not.
In total, I just did 21.1 km in 1 hour 43 minutes this week.

I hope the pain goes away. Since all of these running injuries or most of them are sorts of inflammations, what helps to the limited extent (but it does help a bit at inflammations) is eating a lot of pineapples and add ginger wherever you can.
Thank you for the tip! I didn't know that :)
I've read about pineapples in Scott Jurek's book Eat & Run. Ginger... I don't remember where I learned about this one. Well both are recommended for "injury" times :)
I hope the pain goes away quickly. I've had injuries myself and it makes me so restless and I get envious whenever I see someone else running.
Yes I Hope too! It's really not fun to stop a training ...

Hope your leg comes back soon! I sometimes add recovery pace runs as a step between resting and coming back.
Thanks for the support :) It's already better now but I still can feel the pain. I put ice 3 times a day on my leg and try ti reduce a bit my trainings.
