So today I thought I would try something different. I decided to try running with a faster group for the Wednesday night run. Usually I’m at the front of the five minute (per km) group and in danger of getting ahead of them. But the next faster group (the Speedsters) go a lot faster. I decided to try and keep up with them.
It was only a 7km run, but I quickly found out that they don’t take as many rest breaks as the other groups. I’m not even sure if they take any. If they don’t, I lucked out and got a short break before a hill today.
I was at the back of the group most of the time. But I didn’t completely embarrass myself.
But now that it is a few hours later, my right calf is feeling tight. I’m trying to stretch it some more and massage it. This is the same kind of pain that happened last year that caused my injury that effectively took me out of running for half a year.
Let’s see what happens tomorrow.
