My calf had been feeling fine, took a short run yesterday no reaction so went out on my normal training route today (minus the hilly bits).
Well I shocked myself..I ended up doing a 5o minute run with only 2 mins walking break, this is a massive improvement on where I was four weeks back where I was out of breath after five minutes. I plotted the route on mapmyrun and it was 7.5kms! So I take a km off for accuracy and conservatively will say it was between 6 and 7km.
Of course my legs were aching afterwards but only the usual aches that you expect. Touch wood, no reaction from the calf!
I was on cloud 9, I dont think I have run 7kms outdoor since I almost joined the Army some 14 years ago. I am delighted that the injury was just a niggle but probably a warning and that I can continue with my campaign.
I then went to Bajen and it was nice for some of the lads to say I had lost some weight in the face.
Bajen then won their crunch match with Brömma Pojkerna 1-0, a much needed win as we were bottom and it keeps our hopes alive.
So today the feeling is certainly of one that is better than sex! I cant wipe the smile off my face!

Good job on the running, it’s a great to make that kind of progress. And finally a winning match for Bajen
