Felt poor a few hrs after so had a short walk. Today I split my run in two: 9.5 km am, 7.75 km pm. Quite a bit of new snow has fallen so I took it easy. By the time of my second run most places had been ploughed.

Tempo was easy off road on Kiveton woodlands a repeat of the first one I did in jan after injury only this time in the dark with head torch on. 3.28 miles completed at what felt like a little slower than 10k pace which was the target pace. For comparison the splits for the full miles 17/1/22 7:32 8:00 8:01 3/2/22. 7:31 7:36 7:35

Good to have the option Dvorak Today, even with rain pissing down, it was a really nice run, but suddenly a sharp pain occurred in my left foot, tried to limp for a bit, but I hurt to much. Have felt that before, but it usually goes away after a little while, feels like a pinched nerve or something. Well I stopped, and then tried to do the last few km slow, but then stopped after a while again and walked the last bit. Better to be safe than sorry. Day 400 in a row for me today, that’s a nice round number Be careful out there!

KPM Feb 2022 12:12pm, 4 Feb 2022 266 posts	Quote Pin KPM NordRunner wow that is gorgeous, where is it? Yesterday, as we were in the office, I ran to and from work. 10km downhill in the morning, 10km uphill at night, each with a laptop bag on my back. Took it easy both ways, but noticed that on the way back my left achilles was aching. I injured it last year and when i remembered, it was doing the same thing, running back home with a work backpack on, so believe I have worked out the problem... having a heavy backpack without chest straps (allowing it to bounce) is probably ratcheting my calf muscle and causing the issue. I'll try a better bag next week for the commute
Bowman 🇸🇪 Feb 2022 12:22pm, 4 Feb 2022 929 posts	Quote Pin Bowman 🇸🇪 Thanks Riggys, i dont think its an injury per see, more of a niggle. A little tap on the shoulder do to a few recovery runs KPM, that sounds uncomfortable,maybe try a better backpack, have you looked at real running backpacks, or maybe that is what you have? I have a Salomon and it really great, but i have not tried it with something heavy lika a laptop.
riggys99 Feb 2022 2:58pm, 4 Feb 2022 766 posts	Quote Pin riggys99 I think a good rucksack is important for run commuting Rest day running wise so did a basic core, back and hamstring exercise routine. Addrd 3 x 10 Nordic hamstring curls at the end. 3 sets of press ups (1 set at the beginning, 1 set in the middle and 1 set at the end) Hope people are getting some runs in.

Rain and warm breezes overnight has melted all the snow. I was wasting time trying to persuade my new Garmin Epix to update its firmware over wi-fi so I could then download a map for following today's Fetchpoint route. So the picture is from just before the snow went.
