After a few weeks resembling a couch potato, I was able to put together a good week of training with more than 50 km logged.
Last Saturday, the podiatrist looked at my left foot and told me, “hey, that must hurt”. Unfortunately, there’s not much that can be done. He’s making me some orthotic inserts to help distribute weight and impact.
Today was a nice sunny day and relatively warm for the season. I did an encouraging training run of nearly 20km. I kept an even, steady pace thru the forest that had some muddy trails. The feet fared well with no new aches or pains. Legs responded well, breathing and cardio were under control.
I have 4 weeks until a 30 km trail run at Auffargis and 6 weeks left before the 80 km Ecotrail.
