When my foot started hurting this week I quickly became worried. A fracture in
my Fifth Metatarsal would have dashed away any hopes of running a sub
3:45:00
in a few weeks at the Gold Coast.Thankfully after triaging today it only looks like some muscle swelling or tendonitis meaning that I'll be able to continue training albeit at a reduced load this week. Consistency is vital, momentum in training builds the resilience your body needs to do long distance running.
Exercising while sore is different to doing so injured, soreness indicates growth while injury often means the opposite. Knowing the difference or when one turns into the is really important.
The other reason to keep running is to maintain a caloric deficit so that I can
have an entire Spice Bag from the
Harp
and Hound. Potentially it was unwise to get a sharing size for myself
but I did skip lunch.
