Very happy to nab a HM PB today, on a 13.2mi off-road course with many gates. Haven't run over 10mi in probably 5 years and have spent the last year doing mostly slow zone 2 stuff, but it seems to work! Definitely noticed much slower, more controlled breathing in recent races compared to what I used to be like 😄

Over 5 days since this and my calves still haven't recovered! I wasn't ready physically for the distance, but I'm surprised it's taking this long to heal enough to accommodate a gentle jog.
Is this just old age? 🥲

Have you been for a gentle bike ride? I find that any DOMS I get is quickly relieved if I spend up to an hour riding, spinning a low gear.

Ha, I've been actively avoiding the bike as I find it incredibly boring at the moment, but I might have to give that a go today. Been walking a fair bit instead.
I don't have a chance for any exercise this weekend so fingers-crossed a light spin and more rest will mean I'm all good by Monday.
