I haven't posted on here in a week because everything went a bit off the rails over the last week. Last Tuesday was fine, with 6 miles completed at 7.5 mph. Pretty much exactly to plan so I'm pleased with that, I did feel fairly lethargic in the first couple of miles and probably ran lazy throughout because of it. As such I didn't get up as much on my toes as I should have done. It didn't seem a problem at the time though.
Thursday didn't go as well. I'd been in London at college all week which as usual had bothered my calf, combined with Tuesday's lazyness it caused issues. I decided to stop at 2 and a half miles as my calf was painful and I didn't want to risk injuring it long term. I also took the weekend off to make sure it could recover, and because I was really busy.
On the 12th I got back on the treadmill and did a really gentle 3 miles running at just under 10 minute miles. The calf twinged a little but then I have still been in London so that's not really surprising. It seems like with a bit of care I should be fine to continue with the plan, though I'm going to take the speed on the treadmill down to about 7 mph for the rest of the first phase of the plan.
