I started this week happy from my\u00a0success\u00a0in\u00a0completing\u00a0a 5k\u00a0earlier\u00a0than my race next week. I was also excited because out of the gates, the week was looking to be warmer and that lifted my spirits. \u00a0My first run was just about perfect but I\u00a0noticed\u00a0at the end that my right calf was a bit more sore. I couldn’t quite put a finger on what caused it but it seemed to be a glaring problem as it continued to feel tight the rest of the week and no amount of stretching was going to help it.<\/p>\n
I ran 3 more times this week included an inpromptu .75 mile run after getting out of my car one day and feeling so good about the clean warm day. \u00a0This proved to be my best run of the week regarding pain. \u00a0Regarding distance, my Sunday run was a 4-miler and I couldn’t have been happier to know that my body was holding up just fine with the milage increase or was it??<\/p>\n
Along with the calf soreness my ITB problem came back into play a bit\u00a0during\u00a0my last 2 runs. \u00a0I am sure it is a form thing and I am vowing to go slower next week and really work out my issues. \u00a0During\u00a0some parts of my runs I can feel the sweet spot of form, but many things have been changing that for me like debris, weather, unkept sidewalks etc. I am also having a hard time finding smooth surfaces to run on where I am not\u00a0clinching\u00a0in pain every 20 steps. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Overall for the week I ran 11.5 miles in 4 runs. I am happy with this, but I hoping for better form next week leading up to my 5k in Baltimore, MD. I feel like I am at the major point of this BFR becoming more mental than pure physical adaptation. \u00a0<\/p>\n
