Thought I would do some shorter running this week with the intensity slightly up as the taper for Staurdays marathon. So with that in mind I wanted to to do each 5k in about about 23 minutes - not fast at all but suitable for the taper week and taking into account that I have a slight right calf twinge that should prpbably be rested and not pushed. I have had this twinge before and found that running on it seems to improve it as much as total rest.
Ran the first 5k slower than expected - was probably nursing the calf too much : 23.17. Thought I could run more freely and so on the second repeat pushed much firmer with teh pace to come back in 22.13 - no problems with the calf but will give it some more treatment during the day.
