jda 9 Dec 5:04pm, 9 Dec 2019 5924 posts	jda Had a near-disaster today, well not really a disaster by the end, all my fault. Went out for a medium length run in some new cheap shoes that I hadn't used before. I am generally very tolerant of shoes....but not these ones. A few km in and I could feel my calves. Perhaps a bit foolishly, I kept on for the full 20km (loop with no shortcuts) and was basically waddling for a good chunk of it. Just a bit stiff and tired at the end, there isn't any sign of injury but I'll be a bit cautious for a few days.

Chris 10 Dec 4:22pm, 10 Dec 2019 1361 posts	Chris I seem to be struggling massively at the moment but I'll put a speculative 2.39.59 down for London. Everything just seems to hurt for no reason
jda 10 Dec 5:27pm, 10 Dec 2019 5934 posts	jda Thanks LMH, weather gave me the perfect excuse for a gentle jog on the treadmill rather than tonight's club hill sprints session which was probably the sensible choice Lots of time to get up to speed Chris!
