It’s now been 15 days since my last proper training run which was only an 8 mile run. My legs, ankles etc are still not right which is really concerning me. It isn’t ache pain either but a dull injured pain which flares up when getting out of a chair or walking down to the station.

I feel stupid knowing the cause of it was the 10 mile run 8 days ago which I cancelled 3 miles into after forcing myself to run on sore legs. Silly boy. I’m definitely not going to be able to do the Great North Run elegantly in 11 days but I shall give it my all even if I’m limp/walking.
