40 days to the GNR - Don't Panic!

The training the last week has gone OK, the calf hurt after Thursdays run so didn't do the 5m run on Saturday to allow it to recover. With just 40 days to go I know my current state of fitness its not really good enough but I also know over-training is likely to make things worse rather than better. Will just have to put up with what's achievable and try for a time next year.

Last night I did 4 miles including some interval training and it survived OK, so on bike tonight (about 14 miles). Cycling seems to be helping - getting fitter while not aggravating the left calf and I not getting quite as saddle sore as I was ;-) Hopefully I can do 2 five mile runs on Thursday and Saturday and stay something close to the shedule this week.
