So I don't think it's going to happen for me, left shin is in a fair amount of pain and it very much feels like one of those injuries that would get worse if I dragged myself around 21km. Pretty annoying for it to happen in the final week, it had gone really well up until then, only missed 2 runs for illness. I made some mistakes: a late shoe swap might have contributed to the injury. I was getting nervous about how worn my road shoes were getting and as the distance and intensity was increasing I thought it might be an injury risk, whoops. Also probably ran my last long run too hard.
Never mind though, I started the training plan to build some fitness, get into a routine and challenge myself a bit. It was as much about the process as the event itself. Nice to get a 10k pb out of it too!
