Aberystwyth parkrun last Saturday at the Plascrug park. Essentially four laps, one up and down the centre straight and three circuits on the side paths. On the third lap I felt my left foot wobble and a pain in my ankle. I finished the run but by the afternoon I know that I had pulled a muscle on my innner ankle. Since I had ruptured my Achilles tendon 2 years ago, I have come very cautious about injuries. So no running till I feel the muscle has healed up. But I still have to keep up the mileage, so this morning I took my bike out and pedalled the route I would have run.
All in all, I ran 20 miles last week, 3 times as much as I was running in December. The training schedule says not to increase your distance too quickly. Am I paying the price for that; or is just old bones (or old muscles and joints) playing up?
