I am so gutted at having to miss the Wilmslow Half Marathon a week and a half ago now. It's one of my favourite races helped by the fact that I've run a pb there twice and the third time got within 3 seconds of my pb! I haven't even been able to bring myself to look at the results yet!
I am starting to feel happier though as I started back with some slow and small amounts of running 12 days ago! Starting out with lots of walking and 2 x 5 mins of running I've now built up to 3 x 10 mins of running with walking in between and little to no pain which is great. I've been sensible and kept to running every 2-3 days so I always have 1-2 days in between where I'm not running to give my ankle/achilles a chance to recover. I ran yesterday and today will be the first time of trying a run 1 day later!
Doing extra cycling and swim training over the last 4 weeks has made me realise how I do miss triathlon training and I'm looking forward to the day I come back to the sport. For now I still have goals I want to achieve with my running and I'm focussed on firstly getting back to running and not rushing myself and aiming for a good marathon towards the end of the year.
