Yep, what a mouthful - that's what we were serving at a function at work last night! Anyway, I thought I'd better let you know how things are progressing. The calf turned out to be alright and so I managed a session on Monday. I also spoke to my Dad's friend, who is an orthopedic surgeon, but is also trained in physiotherapy. He reckoned it was just bad circulation and recommended some compression socks. I therefore put my compression socks on for Monday's session in a hope that they would improve things, but they made it worse instead; they must be too small! Apart from my legs feeling dead, I had a good session - it was the 4 blocks of 10 minutes off 2 minutes recovery.
1. 6:36/mile.
2. 6:52/mile.
3. 6:58/mile.
4. 6:48/mile.
Overall not bad times to say it was all off road on fields in very hot conditions with lots of hills chucked in! I came back and ordered some Skins Compression Socks which have come today and feel much better, nowhere near as tight and much more comfy, so I will be trying them out today.
Yesterday was a steady 6.5 miles on the cross trainer to try and get some real climbing strength in the legs - I felt really good and felt to really go well on Level 15 (the hardest!). Today I have my KM Rep session in my new socks and new road racers. Let's see how it goes!
